Zapping the PRAM & boredom

Wednesday, May 22, 2013

I have a new technique for quickly gaining a bit of space - called "zapping the P-RAM" described in the start of this video. Also, when we say we are bored, what exactly do we mean?

Having thoughts, good or bad, is [...] more

Thursday, May 2, 2013

I am becoming increasingly aware that i have not enough time in the day to have a day of my time. So. I decided the best thing to do was to spend some time every day documenting this occurrence. also My happiness in life seems to depend  on finding at least 10 minutes a day to sit in silent meditation. Somehow, I am finding it harder and harder to find those 10 minutes. Therefore, I have decided to video myself having 10 minutes of silence each day, and if that is useful for others. Great.
