Jay Baldwin

It was great to see an article about Jay Baldwin in the latest issue of Make magazine.  I've been following his work since the 70's when he first came to may attention in the Whole Earth Catalog.  Ideas on sustainability and the art of design and actually making things that people think are new Jay was working on decades ago.  His association with Buckminster Fuller and the idea of making people successful on this earth had and still has a enormous influence on me.

At age 77 he's still at the design game and his new QuickUp Camper is featured in the article.  A solution to the typical RV that we see on the Amercian roads today.

Shen Ku

For a number of years I've been reading, or better said referencing the book "The art of Shen Ku" by Zeek.  I got it as a birthday present and no matter how many times I pick it up I get mesmerized by the amount of information available on natural medicine, martial arts, repairs, plants and herbs, fitness, survival and general knowledge on just about everything you should know as you travel through life.  The graphics are amazing and abundant.  A must book to have.
