- #28 Not Having a TV « Stuff White People Like
This is great: “The number one reason why white people like not having a TV is so that they can tell you that they don’t have a TV.” Haha! - Americans spend more energy watching TV than on exercise
So sad. - Automate System Shutdowns and Restarts with GShutdown
Now I can tell the computer to turn off after it records whatever TV show. Cool! - Circumvent “No shirt, no shoes, no service” regulations with on-the-fly flipflops!
Haha - Bacon Cup Salad
I like that the post is tagged with “heart attack”. Haha!
Les Stroud - “Off the Grid”
April 6th, 2008
You might know Les Stroud from one of my favorite shows — Survivorman. He lives on over 100 acres in Canada where he and his family strive to be self-sufficient.
If you have 70 minutes or so, I highly suggest you check out this documentary. It shows how he and his family moved from city life to living their dream of being with nature. It’s quite good.

A New Website for Dearborn Ultimate (Frisbee)
April 1st, 2008
I just finished working on a new project. I made a website for Dearborn Ultimate, the group where I play Ultimate during the Summer.
I had a coupon for a free domain name and decided to purchase dearbornultimate.com to see what I could do with it. After a few hours worth of work, I had the site up and ready. The game’s organizer, Tom, already had a website that was working great so far. Nevertheless, I showed Tom and he said he really likes it. He’s already started using it!
Hopefully the new website will raise awareness of our pick-up game and increase the turnout each week!
You can check out the website here: Dearborn Ultimate.

Survival Story
March 17th, 2008
I just found this compelling survival story. It’s a good read except…
Is this just a long advertisement? The moral of the story was a little unexpected: “I deeply recommend this stove to anyone who goes out into the wilderness…”
Shouldn’t it be “Prepare for the worst” or “Take a cell phone”? Kind of weird.
Kiva Loan 20% Repaid!
March 10th, 2008
A short while ago, I posted that I am taking part in Kiva, the online charity where you provide loans to entrepreneurs in developing countries. I chose to give to a woman named Sonia Ruiz Huanaquiri De I and it appears that things are going well! I received a notice that she has already repaid 20% of the original funding of $850.
In a few more months it should be completely repaid and I will have my initial deposit back. Then I’ll be able to find some more worthy entrepreneurs!
