The Internet allowing our basic humanity to shine

I’m a bit of a romantic I suppose.
Better still, I’ve big ideas about humanity, our nature, our natural sprituality, our place on the earth and so on. I believe they apply to and should be relevant to each and every human being everyday of their lives.
Problem is we are separated from that ideal in our [...]

What does a belief in the earth offer humanity?

When we talk about belief we talk about valuing the earth in our everyday lives the way we value our family, friends and community.
At the moment, we live in a State of Separation. Our lives are lived separate from the reality of the earths systems, both physically and philosophically.
One could even argue that many global [...]

‘Food Matters’ Official Trailer

Tucking into Nick Cave’s ‘Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!’ in preparation for the gig in Dublin Castle. Doesnt hit like the rest. Yet!
I like this trailer for alot of obvious reasons and alot of less obvious ones.
Obviously, it’s a truthful examination of the ’sickness industry’ that prospers in most ‘modern’ states. It’s got great one liners. The [...]

Importance of Storytelling in Human Cultures

This thread deals with themes closely linked to an online project (potentially projects) I am working on with friends. The internet is bringing people together across the globe at an ideas level in a collaborative, community environment. So how should we use this tool to build healthy storytelling cultures, one of the cornerstones of humanity?

About Updated

The last version was far too long and off the point. I considered a painfully honest (yet amusing) page outlining the absolutely horrendous discrepencies between my ‘official’ CV and the reality of the career that lay behind it. I’ve seen a number of these around the net and they are educational to say the least.
But [...]

TV Series - A House Less Ordinary

This is an attempt to create a generic TV series dealing with building and interior design, but with a slant. As opposed to the usual ‘Househunters’, ‘Our House’ or ‘Location Location Location’, I wanted to explore a different culture of building and interior design, one that exists outside of the suburban sprawl and wholesale businesses. [...]

The Seiderhouse Rules!

I just discovered a new word thanks to this gentleman, Eric Seider. I am too tired now to ponder it any futher, but I believe I believe it is a word that will become very important to me, to human communities and to the earth overall.
And that word is ‘permaculture’. Google it. Read about it. [...]

Communities Online

It is far from web-development college I was rared. It is not that I am not technically minded. Once I get my head around an application I actually enjoy the buzz of playing around with it. I get a great rush when coming up with ideas around what a site or an application could be. [...]

The Human as Observer

Can’t think of a better way to start this blog than to share with you this beautiful photo taken by J Alan in the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York City recently. Some pretty inspiring images over on his main site here.

It is easy to be sceptical of the human race. Too easy in fact. [...]
