“Who Killed the Electric Car” is a documentary released in 2006 about the EV1, an electric car produced by GM. The car was pulled, and the movie explores why. I recommend it, mostly to demonstrate how guilt can be shared among many disperate groups, some of whom are seemingly the ‘good’ guys.

How I did it: I visit 43things about once a day, sometimes more, just to refocus myself. One source of my refocus is seeing the big dreams of others.I cheer their Radiant Hope for a better life, a new start, a kick in the butt, or just some semblance of illusory control. The secret is they are all the same. Read how I did it…
How I did it: We went to the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center on four of the last five Saturdays. The Ring Cycle is composed of four operas, totalling about 18 hours. We didn't get the $650 a seat tickets and actually preferred the standing room. You lean on a velvet railing, and can see perfectly for $35 a ticket. Plus, there is room to stretch and move around. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Shaving with a straight razor was the predominant form of shaving up until the 1950s, when the safely razor came out.A straight razor is about 3 inches long and open. Certainly a weapon. Putting it upon one's neck is dangerous. Fortunately, I only cut myself 10 times, 9 of which were minor. The other was more...colorful. :) Read how I did it…
