RSA: “Hay guise, let’s like, claim that huge piece of land as rightfully ours, completely ignoring internationally recognized sovereign governments and all diplomatic channels for any of our grievances and just march in there like we own the place for the lulz!”
Malaysia: “Um no. Hey military, like, kill those guys ‘til they’re dead and stuff.”
RSA: “HALP PHILIPPINES SAVE US”
Philippines: … seriously? ಠ_ಠ
If your roaster isn’t telling you what’s in the blend, it’s safe to assume there’s some horse meat in there. Or worse… Sumatra.

The Fixer’s Manifesto
Acknowledging that fixing is the unsung hero of creativity, Sugru created The Fixer’s Manifesto to encourage a culture of fixing. In the spirit of the manifesto, they are hosting the markdown and generated PDF files on Github where people are encouraged to fork, edit and submit pull requests.
Sugru is selling the letterpress version of The Fixer’s Manifesto that includes an eight pack of their moldable fixing compound.
I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately. Usually, I think about processes - that is, how we do things; the methods that we employ to accomplish things: work, play, life in general.
But I’ve come to realize that I tend to not just think about it, but obsess over it. I try to practice minimalism as much as I can in all aspects of my life, and I’ve been better for it. I declutter not only at home but also digitally - it’s funny how in this day and age some of us tend to attach quite a lot of sentimental value to our data (go ahead, delete your facebook account right now, if you can), when ultimately, it has similar negative effects that real-life clutter can have on you.
Through it all, I’ve been thinking: once you set the processes aside - every method of parsing everything around you, every filter through which you view your life - what do have left?
If you have a firm conviction of what the purpose of your life is, you already have a significant achievement in your hands. It’s harder than it sounds to come up with this.
Me? I’m still thinking about it.
“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” - Mohandas K. Gandhi
