This Too Shall Pass

OK Go is one of the most creative bands I know. (Notwithstanding on this particular video they had the help of the California Institute of Technology.)

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

by Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.   
His house is in the village though;   
He will not see me stopping here   
To watch his woods fill up with snow.   

My little horse must think it queer   
To stop without a farmhouse near   
Between the woods and frozen lake   
The darkest evening of the year.   

He gives his harness bells a shake   
To ask if there is some mistake.   
The only other sound’s the sweep   
Of easy wind and downy flake.   

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,   
But I have promises to keep,   
And miles to go before I sleep,   
And miles to go before I sleep.

A free way to donate rice to people who need it through the UN World Food Program. Plus, you learn stuff while you are at it. Win-Win-Win.

Life Means So Much

Every day is a bank account
And time is our currency
Nobody's rich, nobody's poor
We get 24 hours each
So how are you gonna spend
Will you invest, or squander
Try to get ahead
Or help someone who's under

Cast Away

Sometimes the power and freedom to choose is more important than the choice itself.

Yunus


“I learned that things are never as complicated as we imagine them to be. It is only our arrogance which seeks to find complicated answers to simple problems.”

-Muhammad Yunus, Micro-Credit pioneer and 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner
