Found in Guatemala


Carmen Sandiego, I mean, Brian Schwadron is currently in Guatemala. I talked with Brian on the phone last night and we are both dedicated to continually increasing the scope of For All Humanity and our capacity to be a significant social organization that responds to the ongoing changes in the world. In the near future, you can expect to see updates to our website, a monthly newsletter, and the opportunity to make a tax-deductible contribution to support worthy causes. For now, here's a picture of Brian (sipping drink) in Guatemala!

3 Kierkegaard Quotes

I'm currently reading a paper on Existentialism, and was looking up some quotes online. I had to post these three quotes...

"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards."

"Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced."

and my personal favorite:

"If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of potential - for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints; possibility never."

These are all quotes from Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855).

Planet Earth

Have you seen the new TV series called Planet Earth? If so, you know it's amazing. If not, it's something you would love to see. If you are reading this blog, this show is for you.

Planet Earth Website


The series is kind of like March of the Penguins on Steroids. It's a Landmark Series event and through it Discovery Channel is positioning themselves as the #1 non-fiction media company in the world. It's a great strategic move on their part, and they deserve the title for the amazing job they've done capturing the rarest of environmental phenomena and natural life onto film. Not just film, but HD, slo-mo, underwater, hot air balloon shots, helicopter, hikes through mountains, burying yourself in the heat, you name it, their camera men did it!
