Vote For Our Short Film

My friend Michael Dalton and I co-created a film called "Luke." It's part of the Doorpost Film Project - a competition based out of Jacksonville, FL. It'd be amazing if you went and watched it and then took the time to vote for it.

I hope you enjoy.

Then/Than and Other Helpful Tips.

Hey friends,

I just needed to get this out... Hopefully you'll read this, and hopefully it will help you be a better writer of the language you use every day.

Then/Than
Then refers to a point in time.

"Michael will bring his camping gear. Then we will leave for the woods."

Than is used in a comparison.

"I would rather Jake be hit in the head than me."

They're/Their/There
They're is a contraction of "they are."

"They're going to see Mark and Lorna tonight at the Red Fox Lounge."

There refers to places.

"Casey, go cut the head off that dead cow over there."

Their refers to a group of people.

"Their trips to Old Germany are now over."

More updates to come as necessary.

Communal and Sustainable Living - Orlando

Hey friends,

For the past few months, I've been thinking a lot about Urban Gardening. It's an amazing picture of resurrection, sustainability and interdependence and has huge community and social implications. Out of this new found passion have come lots of other thoughts about some things that are as ancient as humanity. We've moved away from lots of those things, but I'm starting to feel that there are deep roots in our being that are calling us back to that way of living. I have created a forum for conversation on facebook. Even if words like Communal living, Sustainability, Voluntary Redistribution and Inter-dependence are new to your vocabulary, come and discuss.



Come and commune.

3 people came out of nowhere and spent hours making estimations on my worth. They placed a really high value on me.
1 guy emailed me to tell me that I wouldn't realize my full potential until I moved somewhere other than where I am now.

1 person came down from Nashville.
300 people sent emails.
23 people came to a fake 21st birthday party.
2 people got in a cold pool.
4 people stood in the rain.
2 people talked on the phone for 1 hour and 47 minutes.
2 people carried a couch, a bed and a bunch of gear.
160 people sang along.
9 people had a meeting.

chances are that some people were counted twice, but still, that's a lot of people with a lot to say.

Karl Pilkington, Ricky Gervais and Steven Merchant

I hope you've heard of these three people. Even if you don't think you know who I'm talking about, they have probably touched your life in some way. Ricky Gervais and Steven Merchant are the creators of "The Office." Karl Pilkington is their friend and appears as the star of the mis-named "Ricky Gervais Podcast" which is the best (and most downloaded) podcast of all time. Here's a video of Ricky interviewing Karl.



The podcast is pretty much more of this... Ricky and Steven asking Karl questions. You can actually get a 1 hour 51 minute "best of season one" compilation at Ricky's podcast link. It's free and amazing.

You WILL get addicted to the podcast and end up purchasing the complete seasons 1, 2 and 3. So, be prepared.

Inside your body

You body needs proteins to function. It's said that the simplest form of life would have to have around 250 proteins to be considered living. The cells that make up your body manufacture over 100,000 unique proteins whose genetic code is contained within the strands of DNA coiled inside the nucleus of your cells. This animation is pretty amazing showing the process in action.
