Earthships

I have become obsessed with Earthships. I received three books on the subject last night and after reading roughly 1/4 of the first one, I am hooked. I’m not quite certain where something like this fits into our society, but I am certainly excited by the prosepcts. I would certainly love to build one of these as soon as possible and wonder what possibilities there are for this type of home in my current state (Oklahoma). Moreover, I can’t help but wonder how something like this could be used in a more urban setting or more fully integrated into our current society. At any rate, I’ve added a link to a YouTuve video giving more details. Stay tuned for further updates.

Gas Station Art

So there I am, standing outside of a local gas station waiting on a friend to finish buying a drink when it hits me - I’m staring out at twenty, yes twenty, seperate pumps. I decided a day-long time lapse video of this gas station from my current point-of-view would be pretty interesting, so I’m hoping to get one put together here in the next week or two. Obviously I can’t leave my camera sitting outside this gas station, so I’ll probably end up having to set up there for eight hours or so while I do it. I’ll keep you updated as to any plans/progress. Keep your eyes peeled for a finished product here in the near future.
