artofnonconformity.com --- I am obsessed!! : )
This site is fantastic!! Based on the travels, beliefs, and ideals of adventurous free-spirit and inspiration enthusiast, Chris Guillebeau. I can't get enough of it...

This is a great article from the early April issue of Rolling Stone discussing the legendary writer/musician/actor/veteran/athlete/pilot, Kris Kristofferson--the ultimate rebel with a cause. I knew very little about the man before reading this article, but can honestly say he's a new fascination for me...Unfortunately, only a portion of the article is on the website and you'll need to pick up the latest issue of Rolling Stone to catch the balance of it. (Though, my favorite part is the opening scene where Hawke meets Kristofferson for the first time. Very raw and very real..you've got to respect that.)

Everything you need within walking distance? I definitely need to move to the city...
This is one of the many things I love about the city of Chicago...segmented smaller pockets or "communities" in the city with each area basically functioning completely independent of the next- shops, restaurants, grocery stores, offices, art galleries...so much potential in such a small area--oh, the possibilities!!!

"Walkable communities are the no-brainer, urban design solution of the decade. But couching things in lofty design terms can make a simple idea -- like a pleasant stroll past your favorite coffee shop on the way to work -- sound like a New Age-y cause of the week. This video from the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) makes a clear, succinct case that's easy to understand. Planning communities that are dense and walkable, like the one shown in the video, allows residents to live within walking distance of grocery stores, office spaces, libraries and schools, helping them decrease their carbon emissions, build close-knit communities and improve their physical and mental health."
