Just about anything from rural gardening to motivation tips. Very DIY and down to earthy. Such fine read if you ignore the occasional religious reference. The Voluntary Simplicity/
Simple Living section is a must read for any person. Good recipes too.

Another fine blog. More of an "random notions from personal point of view" type of thing with occasional cooking tip.

Real Life Spy Gadgets - For the secret agent in all of us
Tucker Max on becoming a writer:
I had bought into the system so fully, and abandoned my passion for so long, I no longer believed in it or in myself. It just didn't seem realistic that I could do it.
Then I read Fight Club. If there is any one singular event that I can point to that set me on the course to who and what I am today, it is reading Fight Club. It woke something primal and fundamental in me.
I had seen the movie when I was in college, but until you have gone out into the world and worked a shitty job and thought to yourself, "Is this it? Is this why I went to school? For this?", you can't understand it. But once I read the book after the real world kicked me in the teeth, it clicked. It gave voice to something inside me I had not been able to elucidate before:
I had been sold a lie. Life was not about going to the right schools and getting the right jobs just so I work a job I hate in order to accumulate more crap I don't want or need. That's not how life was meant to be lived. There is another way. I can be the man I want to be, I can do the things I want to do and I can live the life I want to live...I just have to stop believing the lies I have been sold, and stop caring what all those people think who don't matter, and find the courage to go out and do it.
update: tucker's movie opens September 25. It screened well in Cannes.
