What do you know about

Independent World Television ? I haven’t had a chance to look properly, but I imagine the idea has received some press, so you can probably tell me the whole story.

Anize images

Thanks again to Cath for generating these images (hosted on soultimate). The question is still, which do you prefer and what do we do with them?

excited about a choke around my neck

Months of painful weekend searches, research & putting up with real-estate agents (not my favourite profession). Finally we get to the stage like-offer-acceptance. Soon a bank will own much of my house. I might not be able to afford to drop everything and disappear for long trips for a while.

And yet I’m happy about it.

There is work to be done before everything is signed, sealed and settled, but nothing that shouldn’t be overcome.

Who’s up for the house warming?

TMO can have my blog

These words are not mine. TMO chose them so well, I think that stuck in the comments of Taus’ post isn’t sufficient airtime.

There are easy decisions and actions that are available at any juncture in one’s day. The meal bought versus the one prepared. The trip by gas pedal instead of pedal power. The hotel instead of the campground. Plastic instead of paper. I am finding that many of the easy decisions have costs that are not written into the equation. Dumping toxins into the river instead of dealing with our industrial by-products is a good example. An easy�sometimes justified as �an economic�� decision. Well, no, we just diffuse the expense of our actions across a greater surface area of impact. We call that a footprint in technology realms. Very much like footprints on the trail.
The larger the footprint, the greater the cost.

We each choose a path to follow as we make our way through this world. The path of least resistance in some cases means the one of greatest impact. Undoubtedly there are days when what is easy fits better than what is hard. As a generation that has seldom if ever known scarcity, maybe it is a good practice to make things hard at times. If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Yeah, I read that on your blog.
