The doll was bought for $19,000 (£12,000) in a charity auction, beating out similar dolls made of the other candidates.

by Vince on November 7, 2008

This guy decided to make a tribute to Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and other work by Lucas. It’s now featured on YouTube.

How To Clear Your Headspace By Getting Rid of Old Stuff

by Vince on November 5, 2008

http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/4420/obsolete2004071563922is3.jpgA few days ago, I decided that once and for all, I’m going to get rid of all the crap in my house. 

I just have way too much stuff, collected over the years, all stashed up in boxes collecting dust (amongst other things).  Why? I keep saying to myself: ‘Hey, I’m going to hold onto that… I won’t sell it for much, and I may use it some day again’.

I’m sure you can relate.

But I’m about to change that all.  A friend of mine recently explained how the stuff around you affects your physical/emotional/mental headspace.

As woo woo as it may be, I do now agree with him. For example, I find that whenever I travel, I just seem to become more ‘productive’.  Same as when I am sat in a coffee working on my laptop; there are just fewer distractions.

So I decided to start on a quest of selling my old stuff to clear my head, and here’s a few tips on how you too can do that.

The former dictator’s 269-foot superyacht is fitted with swimming pools, salons, a secret passage and a rocket launching system (surely it’s been disabled though?)

What Your Global Neighbours are Spending On

When you make some extra $, what do you spend it on?  Are you hunting for the latest D&G and Gucci wallets and purses, or looking for the next bargain deal on a 42″ LCD HDTV?  (or like me, diligently save it up… NOT)

This is a great video on life that a friend shared with me today. I highly recommend watching it. It’s called ‘Wear Sunscreen’. The original video was by Baz Luhrmann (director of Moulin Rouge).
The video based on an essay written by Mary Schmich and published in the Chicago Tribune as a column in 1997.
