“Surely joy is the condition of life.” - Henry David Thoreau journeys creative responsibility movement Tumblr (3.0; @gilichu)http://gilichu.tumblr.com/<img src="http://18.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kur03wdE4X1qzo41fo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><i>Pedaltrains posit the intriguing concept of combining two car alternatives: bicycles and public transit.</i></p> <blockquote> <p><a target="new" href="http://www.patentdepending.com/">Steven M. Johnson</a>, a sort of <a target="new" href="http://www.robertcrumbcartoons.com/">R. Crumb</a> meets <a target="new" href="http://www.bfi.org/">R. Buckminster Fuller</a>. Johnson is a former urban planner, and his work tends toward the nodes where social issues intersect with design and urban planning issues.</p> <p>In discussing his often fantastical, sometimes silly, sometimes visionary concepts, he has said, “If I could use two words to describe what it is that I enjoy it is that I love to be <i>sneakily outrageous</i> … [It may be that] I have decided an idea has no practical worth and would never be likely to be adopted seriously (like most of my ideas), but <i>I like it anyway</i>.”</p> </blockquote>http://gilichu.tumblr.com/post/286117270http://gilichu.tumblr.com/post/286117270Wed, 16 Dec 2009 08:57:00 -0500<img src="http://19.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kuq0uzPY1U1qzo41fo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Slate (via <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/gilichu" target="_blank">gilichupak</a>)</p>http://gilichu.tumblr.com/post/285378871http://gilichu.tumblr.com/post/285378871Tue, 15 Dec 2009 20:16:10 -0500<img src="http://21.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kuohr2Q8DJ1qzo41fo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Inspiration From Lord Ganeshjee</p> <p>Lord Ganeshjee’s BIG HEAD inspires us to think big and think profitably; the BIG EARS prompt us to listen patiently to new ideas and suggestions; the NARROW EYES point to deep concentration needed to finish tasks in hand well and quickly; the LONG NOSE tells us to poke around inquisitively to learn more and the SMALL MOUTH reminds us to speak less and listen more.</p> <p>Ganesh (via <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/gilichu" target="_blank">gilichupak</a>)</p>http://gilichu.tumblr.com/post/284250049http://gilichu.tumblr.com/post/284250049Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:25:50 -0500<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8097400&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF"><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="scale" value="showAll" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8097400&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF" /><embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8097400&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><a href="http://chupatz.tumblr.com/post/277627886/on-our-camel-safari-from-jaiselmer-in-rajasthan" target="_blank">chupatz</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>On our camel safari from Jaiselmer in Rajasthan, India we stopped a couple of times for the camels to fill up on water. That’s Cindy in her orange turban. When we arrived the trough was already filled. After the camels had their fill we had to fill up the trough by pulling a rope attached to a bucket that went a good 100 feet down. With of us pulling, tt took about 15 pulls of the bucket to fill up the trough.<br/><br/>The idea is that if you happen to arrive at the well in desperate need of water you have water immediately available. This could save your life.</p> </blockquote>http://gilichu.tumblr.com/post/280795442http://gilichu.tumblr.com/post/280795442Sat, 12 Dec 2009 18:08:14 -0500<img
