  • On minimalism

    Leo
    8 Feb 2010 | 12:26 pm
    Post written by Leo Babauta. Follow me on Twitter. How does ’simple’ differ from ‘minimalist’? That’s the question someone asked me on Twitter recently, and it’s a good one. Zen Habits has become known as a leading simplicity blog, and at the same time I recently started mnmlist, a blog about minimalism. Why the two blogs? What’s the difference? It’s an important question as it forces us to examine each concept a little more closely. First, let’s acknowledge that the two concepts are related, and in some ways are two ways of saying the…

    “There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh Post written by Leo Babauta. Follow me on Twitter. This morning I found myself lying around, enjoying a lazy weekend with my wife and kids, basking in the peaceful simplicity of today. It’s in these moments that I find not only my greatest happiness, but my purpose in life. I am here not to achieve or even to change the world, but simply to live. Life is a gift, and I’m happy to accept every moment of it. And so, in this spirit, I thought I’d dig through my archives and share a few favorite posts, to…

  • 9 Unconventional Steps to a Thriving, “Very Small” Business

    Leo
    4 Feb 2010 | 7:00 am
    Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Chris Guillebeau of The Art of Non-Conformity. For more than ten years I’ve operated a string of one-man businesses. My model is: keep it lean, hire no one, and outsource very little. I’ve made my share of mistakes (a long list!), but one thing has remained constant—I want to add extreme value to my customers, and I want to make a good living without simply creating a job for myself. Here’s what I’ve learned. 1. Hire no one. My Unconventional Guides business took off in early 2009, and for a while I felt an internal…

  • Zen Habits Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    Post written by Leo Babauta. Follow me on Twitter. I get asked a lot of questions, many of them repeatedly, and I figured instead of answering them all over and over, I’d compile my answers for everyone here. Of course, there’s a lot more about me and this site on the About page, and I’d always love it if you checked out the Books page. I hope you find this useful! 1. Why did you turn off comments on Zen Habits? This has been the most difficult decision I’ve made since starting Zen Habits, as I truly loved comments here.

  • How Not to Hurry

    Leo
    28 Jan 2010 | 4:56 pm
    “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” ~ Lao Tzu Post written by Leo Babauta. Follow me on Twitter. Consider the above quote from Lao Tzu, (perhaps mythical) father of Taoism: how can it be true? Is it possible to never hurry, but to get everything done? It seems contradictory to our modern world, where everything is a rush, where we try to cram as much into every minute of the day as possible, where if we are not busy, we feel unproductive and lazy. In fact, often we compete by trying to show how busy we are. I have a thousand projects to do! Oh yeah? I have 10,000! The…

  • Lawmakers Spend Days in Caucus

    Added Entry
    9 Feb 2010 | 1:15 am
    Tuesday, 09 February 2010Guam - Lawmakers have spent the last two days in caucus.Senators were supposed to go into session on Monday in order to discuss and hopefully pass two resolutions dealing with the military buildup. Resolution 275 requests an extention on the comment period from the Draft Environmental Impact Statement of the military buildup. This period will end on February 18th. Proponents of the extention request have argued that Guam wasn't given ample time to review the DEIS which is nearly 11,000 pages worth of highly technical data. Then there's resolution 160 which urges…

  • Guthertz: Carrier Should Use Kilo Warf Rather Than Dredge Coral

    Added Entry
    9 Feb 2010 | 1:10 am
    Tuesday, 09 February 2010Guam - Rather than dredge 36 acres of coral in Apra Harbor, Senator Judi Guthertz is proposing that the Navy continue to use Kilo Warf for any visiting Aircraft Carriers, and then moor ammunition ships out in Apra Harbor.Visiting carriers currently use Kilo Warf, located near the tip of Orote Point, near Gab Gab Beach, but its primary purpose is for loading and off-loading ammunition.However, the military's Draft Environmental Impact Statement argues that a separate berthing is now needed because of plans to extend the stay of visiting aircraft carriers to a total of…

We are Guahan has raised concerns about the military's proposed dredging of Apra harbor for transient carrier berthing.

    3 Feb 2010 | 6:08 pm
    Guam's U.S. Rep. Madeleine Z. Bordallo made some comments on the Guam build-up at hearing this week of the House Armed Services Committee. Her office issued a press release about it.I put in italics my take on her press statement.Rep. Bordallo wrote:Congresswoman Madeleine Z.

  • Obama's visit to Guam

    2 Feb 2010 | 6:56 pm
    President Barack Obama will visit Guam sometime in March and the importance of his visit to the military build-up can’t be understated. But it’s really hard to know what to make of his visit or how it might affect the build-up.Obama’s visit may be very short, and his exposure to the build-up may be entirely from the military's perspective. His trip may be little more than a briefing and a meeting with the troops before moving on. Some of this may depend on whether the White House wants to get the president involved in the build-up debate, particularly since the Pentagon seems to be set…

  • Guam's looming rental bubble

    20 Jan 2010 | 8:08 pm
    It was discouraging to read that Sen. Matt Rector has resigned from his office, forced out by opponents. His perspective on the build-up is important as is his warning that it may deliver more economic harm than benefit.Build-up proponents argue that the military will transform Guam into an economic Shangri-La: an island of full employment and improved standard of living. Rector is a critic of that point of view, and his position finds support in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). Take housing, for instance.Home ownership on Guam is at 48%, one of the lowest homeownership rates…

  • Guam as the modern day Bikini Atoll

    12 Dec 2009 | 12:26 pm
    Guam and the Bikini Atoll share an awful lot, with one exception. The U.S. used this Marshall Islands atoll for nuclear testing, vaporizing part of it and irradiating whatever was left and then leaving it uninhabitable. The U.S. committed a great wrong on Bikini and to its people but what happened to Bikini is very relevant to what the U.S. is doing to Guam today. It is far more relevant and timely than you may realize.In October – this October, 2009 -- the “People of Bikini” asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear its case for reparations. The U.S. is fighting them. If the Supreme Court…

    27 Nov 2009 | 11:01 am
    Guam’s media is having a righteous indignation festival over Sen. Matt Rector’s failure to disclose a 25-year-old misdemeanor conviction. Kuam and Guam News Factor are already cranking up their own versions of overheated, high-minded outrage. Rector raises important questions about Guam’s economy, the impact of the build-up on wages and cost-of-living, and brings an important perspective at a critical time to the political process. He’s passionate, idealistic and recognizes that the military build-up will bring new hardships to many on Guam who will be hit with a higher cost of living…

    Imagine a brand new 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago being driven down the freeway at a whopping 20 mph pace. Now imagine you are stuck riding shotgun. That is the same feeling one gets when watching Couples Retreat. On paper, the movie features one of the funniest ensembles of actors around. Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, Jon Favreau, Kristin Davis, and Faison Love all fill out major roles in this film. The film itself is a bit of a dud, with some potentially funny situations that never really turn out to be very funny at all. The premise follows four couples as they take a vacation together on a…

    After watching the trailers for Surrogates, I couldn’t decide whether this was just another rehashed, tired sci fi plot or whether it had the potential to take these familiar elements in a new and unique direction. The movie came and went in theaters without as much as a whimper, but as many people know the time a film spends in theaters isn’t always indicative of the quality of the movie. Surrogates recently arrived on DVD and I decided to check it out. I went in with little to no expectations and sadly I still wound up being dissappointed. The film starts out very promising with…

    I have to poke more needles into me. Just one extra one a day. I've been advised that I need to inject 5 units of insulin every night before I go to bed. I'm already a pushpin so what's one more. 5 units doesn't seem like too much. The first few nights my heart would beat really fast. I was worried this was a reaction to the insulin. I called the nurse and we talked it over and it's just my anxiety over the insulin. I agree. I need to relax more. This pregnancy has been eventful. From the time I saw the two pink lines up until today. This pregnancy has not failed to deliver excitement.

I fasted the night before and came ready to drink my drink. This time it was lemon lime and contained 100 grams of glucose. It was gross. The lab served it to me warm even though the label states that its best served cold. I gagged a bit when there was only an…
