Video: Nomadic Home
The notes from Trendhunter.com
Getting its inspiration from the nomadic Romani people, more commonly known as gypsies, the N55, or Walking House takes urban modular dwelling to a whole new level.
Now when you get tired of the neighbors, there will be no need to pack up and move; you can simply walk your house away. We’re not talking a hasty getaway here, the speed of its six “legs” is comparable to that of a human walking.
Providing a “green” lifestyle, the N55 has minimal environment impact as it relies on solar power, windmills, collection of rainwater, and solar power to heat water. I’m not so sure about the composting toilet walking around but hey, I’m sure they thought it through.
If you’re into growing your own green, there is an optional greenhouse addition.
Those in northern climes would most definitely want to opt to integrate the wood burning stove option.
The designers envision an entire walking villages, where the dwellers are not dependent on infrastructure such as roads and utilities. The N55 Walking Houses can travel just about anywhere, as the units move on all terrains.
Although each module is designated to accommodate four people, on a permanent basis, it might feel more like camping, than an actual house.

Quote by Rudyard Kipling
Arthur C Clark dies at 90 and selects the following quote. It's quite apropos.
In his posthumously published poem “The Appeal,” Rudyard Kipling said to us all:
If I have given you delight
By aught that I have done
Let me lie quiet in that night
Which shall be yours anon:
And for that little, little span
The dead are borne in mind
Seek not to question other than
The books I leave behind.

Garfield without Garfield is a far better comic!
Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life?
Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against lonliness and methamphetamine addiction in a quiet American suburb.

Article: Big Foot: - In measuring carbon emissions, it’s easy to confuse morality and science
Calculating carbon output is a complex, if not counterintuitive, process, Specter says. In the February 25 issue, he writes about the difficulties of measuring carbon footprints in an article titled "Big Foot: In Measuring Carbon Emissions, it's Easy to Confuse Morality and Science."
Specter was formerly The New York Times' Moscow bureau co-chief, and before that the national science reporter for The Washington Post.
Read the article by Michael Spector in the New Yorker
Terry Gross interviewed him on FreshAir. Listen to the interview

The weather is sooooo booring that you must be intoxicated to report it.
Look he's a snowflake!
.. Or a flower?
Now he makes fun of an ambulance!
This is highly unconventional
