Apr

2013

Baltimore Bike Party is the best. This video really sums up the feeling of the event, and the October 2012 Halloween ride was my first BBP event. I have since been to every bike party and even volunteered as a leader for the cold and snowy January BBP event. I have made lots of new ...

The “Buy Nothing, Do Something” Campaign

Nov

2012

This campaign is near and dear to my heart. Many moon ago, before I was a Buddhist, I was a crafter, and before that I was a grinch. I had not enjoyed Christmas much once my daughter was born. Why? Christmas is geared toward children, it should be the best time of the year, right? ...

The catastrophic events that have taken place in Japan over the last week are almost unimaginable, the suffering of the survivors nearly inconceivable.

The Great Maryland Lawn Mower Event

Aug

2010

This year we decided to redo the back yard. It had once been grass, that was then dug up an turned into a bicycle pump track. Unfortunately this led to a lot of mud. Combined with muddy paws and shoes all over my kitchen floor it was more than I could bare. So finally, after ...

Bio-couture: The Future of Fashion?

Jul

2010

I stumbled upon a link to the BioCouture research project and was intrigued by what I found there. From what I’ve found by looking through the various photos on the website is that the goal is to radically change the clothing industry to address the ecological impact and the sustainability of fashion in the future. ...

Downhill Season has Officially Begun

May

2010

Ah, downhill mountain biking season. This is the time of year when I start appearing with random bruises, gashes, and occasionally more serious injuries, but none of my friends or family members really ask any questions. While my husband and I may have been meeting friends intermittantly over the last few months, this is the ...
