Don't really know what else to say about this one except it's Friday and I thought some folks might like to see a video of Mice surfing.  Yup.

Why is it that Surfing always seems to start a trend and then Kayaking (maybe) catches up?  It seems these little guys have been ripping on ocean waves and river surf for the last few years.  I'm not sure if they will ever make the switch to kayaking (I think holding a paddle might be a bit much for them) but I'm keeping an eye on them and the Mice Action Sports Industry so I'll keep you updated.

commute
No more honking horns, clouds of dirt and debris, no angry scowling faces staring blankly ahead (probably wishing they were doing this instead!).  Although it might not be perfect for every occasion I think the pros far outweigh the cons on this commute.

For some it's hard to imagine all of the details that you should consider when building a house (and for some like me it's hard to imagine even building one!) but Publisher Scott MacGregor shares some great advice drawing from his own personal experiences.

With a society focused on speed and getting things done as quickly as possible maybe we should try to shift gears and slow down for a little bit - especially when on the water.
