OpenSource Movies

I love animations… and so far, among the best, aside from the big guns like Pixar which are excellent, are Final Fantasy (both) and Kaena the Prophecy. The latter, while watching “the making of”, I was just amazed at the fact that despite the low budget the makers had, they

Education - Priorities

One school chancellor has got the right idea, has the courage to make those ideas, no matter how unpopular, standard practice for the schools she oversees in Washington DC. I am really proud of people like this who stand up for what is right while not being swayed by the

Sustainability - Where to Start

Oddly enough, Cuba post 1961 looks like a valuable example of how to effectively rebuild a society from the grassroots despite so much lack: (quoted from More with Less @ globaloneness project) To support outer efforts towards sustainability we need to radically adjust our inner attitudes toward the material world.

Manila's Green Message

It looks like in Manila people aren’t waiting for something like bicycling to become cool. Instead they are motivated by the need of the environment and the fact that cars stink… and just as importantly, bicycling as an exercise is simply healthier mode of transportation and therefore makes sense

Perspective in a Volatile World

If there’s one religious figure, I prefer to call him a true Luminary, who has never disappointed me because he always seems to keep a cheerful demeanor while remaining true to himself and his convictions, that would be the Dalai Lama. On one hand, I would not endorse religion

What Does Your Life Stand For?

What Eckhart Tolle is to your mind, as he helps you understand the dynamics of the ego, Gangaji is to your spirit… listening to her has both a soothing effect as well as it makes sense but somehow bypasses the part of your mind that always wants to figure things

Sooner or later, a point in your life comes along when you finally sit still for a moment to stop and ask yourself what you’ve accomplished, reevaluate who you are and wonder, “what am I doing all this for?” For years we’ve gone through life in an effort

Now that Rhonya’s moved to California, I’ve taken great pleasure in redeveloping her web site, Bella Bohemian. Truth be told, I haven’t done any development for quite a while hence have to dig into a few books for reference on CSS and XHTML and slowly get into

Earlier this week I went out to have my smog check done… good news: my jeep passed the emissions test with flying colors; bad news: there’s a valve cover gasket leak. .. and “for only $185, we’d like to fix it for you”. If it were a head gasket,

Alternative to TV

It took me a while but after getting fed up with merely complaining about it, I took action to make a long awaited change: to unsubscribe from the cable TV service. I was simply tired of so many negatives that came out of that subscription that it didn’t make
