I've been wasting a lot of time fiddling around on the net lately (I've been sick, so the body & brain are not exactly fit for much else right now) but one of the interesting things I've come across I really wanted to share with everybody here.
OK, so we've all probably read the posts on "anti-consumerism" and how we all buy too much stuff, and live in houses that are way too big. We've all lived the horror stories of obscenely high utility bills, and who that is just starting out in life hasn't asked themselves whether they'll end up in some roach infested apartment in some shady neighborhood because it's all they can afford now it's time to "leave the nest".
Well, this is something pretty darn cool that SOME people (not everybody) can do about all of that. And if I had a job, I'd probably be the first one to sign up for this new and interesting, compact (downright Japanese... eg, if there's an inch of space, they use it!) way of life.
Check it out! (And make sure you watch the videos!)
