I came across this manifesto from Holstee who create sustainable designs such as recycled t-shirts, wallets and more. I thought this manifesto was worth the read. Enjoy.
The Holstee Manifesto
Unusual (and fun) date ideas

Hey guys and girls. I was stumbling around the internet the other day and happen to come across this which I thought was quite good. I hope you enjoy it.
- Go on a search for as many good climbing trees as possible, climb as high as you both can in all of them. Compile photo evidence.
- Go to a major chain bookstore and leave notes to future readers in copies of your favourite books.
- Have her dressed up as a ghost and you dress up as Pacman. Walk around downtown holding hands. Whenever anyone sees you two pretend to be embarrassed and run off screaming “wocka wocka wocka”.
- Create photo evidence suggesting that you went on an adventure that didn’t really happen.
- Dress up as superheroes and stop at least one petty crime. i.e. jaywalking or littering e.t.c.
- Build forts out of furniture and blankets then wage war with paper airplanes.
- Try and visit as many people as you can in one night. Turn as many things inside their apartment upside down as you can, without them noticing.
- Go to the airport and get the cheapest, soonest departing flight anywhere. When you show up stay there for a weekend.
- Write a piece of fiction together, outside at a café. Ask strangers for help when you get stuck.
- Dress to the nines, pretend to be married and test drive very expensive vehicles at an auto dealership.
- Do the lamest tourist thing in your area that you have both secretly wanted to do forever. Have an unabashed good time!
- In the middle of the night drive to the beach so you arrive just as the sun is rising. Have a breakfast picnic, then fall asleep together. Bring a sun umbrella.
- Drive somewhere unknown and have dinner in a city you’ve never been to, with fake names.
- Go to a minor league baseball game under the stars. Tell each other stories about how bad you are at athletics. Randomly cheer for both teams. Eat lots of Cracker Jacks.
- Go around the city with sidewalk chalk and draw hearts with equations inside on random things.
- Walk around a city and perform short silent plays in front of security cameras.
- With a camera and a pair of boots, make a photolog of a day in the life of the invisible man.
- Walk around the city all night and find a place to eat breakfast at dawn.
- Go to a restaurant and convince the cook to create something completely new for you.
- Rent a movie you’ve never seen before. Set it on mute and improvise the dialogue.

9 deadly words used by a woman
19.03.2011 — Category: Life — Permalink — 0 Comments
I stumbled across this little gem today, and thought it was a good read. Maybe this will help all of us guys out there a bit. I hope you enjoy it. 
- Fine
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. - Five Minutes
If she is getting dressed, this means a half hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house. - Nothing
This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end fine. - Go Ahead
This is a dare, not permission. Don’t do it! - Loud Sigh
This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing). - That’s Okay
This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake. - Thanks
A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you’re welcome. (I want to add in a clause here; This is true, unless she says “Thanks a lot”, which is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say “You’re welcome”. That will bring on a “Whatever”). - Whatever
Is a woman’s way of saying “F*** YOU!” - Don’t worry about it, I got it
Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking “What’s wrong?”. For the woman’s response refer to #3.

Microsoft launches IE6 Countdown
05.03.2011 — Category: IT — Permalink — 0 Comments
Microsoft is monitoring the worlds usage of Internet Explorer 6 by launching a website, IE6 Countdown. Their aim is to try and get the global usage under 1% so more websites can drop Internet Explorer 6 support which will save web developers a lot of work trying to support a web browser that is 10 years old.
At this point in time 12% of the world is using IE6 which is down 9% from last year. China has the highest users of IE6 coming in at 34.5% where Norway and Finland come it at just 0.7%. Australia is only at 3.2% while the US comes in just under at 2.9%.
If you have a website and would like to join the cause you can add a banner to your website asking the user to upgrade to a newer version of Internet Explorer.

10 things couples do to screw up their marriage
23.02.2011 — Category: Life — Permalink — 1 Comment
I’ve been reading up on relationships and how to deal with them, marriages and break ups. I’ve been trying to work out what it is that I need to do to change the way I am thinking and acting. I happen to come across this article about 10 things that couples do to screw up their marriage and I am not going to lie, I am guilty of some of them as I’m sure 99% of the population is too.
That loving feeling
A loving relationship requires attention and nurturing to make it last. Couples often don’t realise how they are hurting their marriage until significant damage is done. As the Righteous Brothers sang, “You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling…Now it’s gone…gone…gone.”
Here are the most common things that people do to lose that loving feeling.
