ABOUT ME

i live on the side of a portuguese mountain with my wife and various adult kids, family, wwoofers - whoever is here at the time.

PHILOSOPHY

take it easy - although i seem to have lost that spirit somewhere, looking after 2.7 hectares, trying to grow our food, warning the world about climate change and peak oil, working for our web business, caring for 3 horses and chronic fatigued wife... seeking to re-find my laid back approach...

Music, Movies, and Books

books:
endgame and everything by derrick jensen
sheri tepper, robin hobb and other women fantasy writers.
ishmael.
i like to bury my head in a book to escape the world, and equally to read for knowledge and inspiration. the best books merge both.

music:
ani di franco, crass, poison girls, roy harper, mozart and a huge range of stuff...

movies:
zeitgeist and other similar stuff, matrix and other hollywood movies with thinking!
don't have a lot of time for tv/movies, but escapism is fun and movies can be great educators...

Teach, Learn, Share

gardening - seed saving - permaculture
eco-awareness, and low impact lifestyles. awareness of how screwed up humans in this corporate culture are, and possible alternatives.
