Off to China!

Currently hanging out at the LA airport, waiting to go to Beijing, but I figured I'd share a couple things. First: Sam delivered a eulogy at my going-away party:



Second: I posted this guy a couple years ago, but now instead of making music from Disney movies, he travels the world. Here's what he made near Tibet!




Thanks everyone for wishing me safe travels and for all the help shipping me off. Don't celebrate too much that I'm leaving!

Happy Dad Day!

DC trip in summary

I apologize to the history buffs for the shortage of monument footage. My camera tended to run out of battery on the bike rides on the way. Also, sorry for the shaky cam. I'm not a camera man.

Discardia

In 2002 Dinah Sanders started a personal holiday called Discardia. As she writes in her book, Discardia: More Life, Less Stuff, her quarterly festival celebrates “unconsumption, the slow movement, downshifting, and voluntary simplicity.” In other words, it’s about getting rid of stuff so you can enjoy a richer life.


Sanders (who maintains a blog called Discardia) believes that many people mistakenly seek the good life by acquiring lots of things and experiences and then try to shoehorn these into an already overcrowded life. But Sanders maintains that the good life is better achieved by taking the opposite approach: stripping away the layers of material, habitual and emotional cruft that we accumulate over time to reveal a more meaningful, engaging, and manageable way to live.
