High School Students Learn by Building a Tiny House for The Homeless

Instead of building a shed like they usually do, students in Todd Faulhaber’s introduction to construction class at Madison La Follette High School this semester are going a little farther to learn basic building techniques. They’re also learning about homelessness by building a tiny house for Occupy Madison’s OM Build project.” – Pat Schneider for The Cap Times

Give this a whirl.

What do you reckon? Would you use something like this? I reckon I'll use this for most of my longer reading at home. Site is blocked at work. Doh! Would be pretty great for dry documents.

Great book. 10/10 - would recommend. I didn't technically read this one. So good that I'm on the 1st replay leg of my audiobook journey.

The power of introverts

In a culture where being social and outgoing are prized above all else, it can be difficult, even shameful, to be an introvert. But, as Susan Cain argues in this passionate talk, introverts bring extraordinary talents and abilities to the world, and should be encouraged and celebrated.

"Hello," say the little succulents on my window sill.

Today I got handy and made an add-on to convert my desk at work into a standing desk. 

My work only splurges on standing height desks for people with medical conditions. Not for people who've read about the dangers faced by us sedentary office workers sitting around all day. 

In Auckland, I'd got around this by re-purposing a cabinet by my desk. However, the cabinets in our Wellington office are all too tall. 

So, I made this chunky beast for $50 which will sit on top of my existing desk. Much cheaper than the standing desks that go for $1000 to $2000 (and up!). 

I designed it so I can dismantle it and move it around if I need to. 

Lemme know if you want the cheat sheet.
