The whole landscape showed design. How wonderful the power of its beauty! Gazing awestricken, I might have left everything for it. Glad, endless work would be mine tracing the forces that have brought forth its features. -John Muir

The Story of Stuff
If you have twenty minutes, spend it watching this video. It's good. If you don't have twenty minutes, my condolences for your too-busy life.
Hey Travis, thanks for the video link! very interesting and thought-provoking, especially all the issues brought up in the 'golden arrow' portion. I don't know about you, but I found that studying abroad and living out of a suitcase for a year put things into perspective about how little we really need, in terms of material stuff, to live. yet here I am, living in an apartment full of stuff and getting ready to move home to another room full of things that I haven't even really needed/used these past four years. definitely gets you thinking. hope you're well and good luck with finals and graduation!
