For over 13 years (and girlfriend and children), architect Mickey Muennig lived in the tiny Greenhouse—his 1976 take on the then-popular dome and his celestial artistic response. From the deck of the outdoor bath, you can see up the coast.

Inside the one-room house, the reclaimed-redwood platform bed hangs on slender steel rods fastened to the ceiling. The ceiling cap is a vent—the house’s thermostat.

this is my dog, lola. she’s 11. i’ve had her since i was 4 & she’s the best dog i could ask for. friday morning my house keeper let her out, she’s a terrier and loves to run. but she always comes back, and knows her way home. we’ve called the pound, and all of the local vets, put up posters everywhere, & even posted it in the news journal. we can’t find her anywhere, we are worried sick. lola was the best dog, and we still can’t find her. :[

we live in Pensacola Florida.

i know this won’t do much, but if you could reblog it just in case someone has seen her. who knows, maybe she made her way to LA. :] i love my baby girl so much and all i want for christmas is for her to be home with us.

Pavi says leverage...

In his latest blog, Pavlina recommended we try and think about how we already provide value, and what we can do to leverage it…

Now that I am (was/will be) writing for pay, it is easy for me to see how my employers take advantage of the passive income stream model using my work. I write something, they throw it on a website, blog or something similar, and continuously generate money from it. All those blogs I wrote for my last job are a low-level version of this idea.

I should be able to do the same thing, on my own. There is also the added bonus that my personal writing can be about stuff I actually care about. And it can have me in it. I can curse, use contractions, and enjoy the occasional oxford comma.

(side note: before my writing job, I thought seperating thoughts like this, this and this was ridiculous. I loved double spacing after a period. After hundreds of hours of using AP style, though, I can now admit that it’s easier to type with only one space after a period. Also, this, this, and this does read clumsier than this, this and this.)

It is up to me to begin writing for myself, as well as figuring out the best way to leverage my writing. The internet seems obvious. I just have to work out my message, and the most effective way of presenting it.

Here’s to leverage.

Pianoing Across the World

Dotan Negrin spent almost a year playing piano across America — on street corners, in farmer’s markets, and anywhere else that would have him — and documenting it all on his blog. Now back home in New York, Negrin is taking on a new challenge: pushing his piano (and his dog Brando), by foot, through the chaotic streets of New York City, to bring his music to busy New Yorkers and avoiding taxi collisions along the way. You can check out his progress on his Tumblr, Piano Across NYC. We asked him about his cross-country trip and what it’s like weaving a piano through New York traffic.

What does it take to push a piano uptown?

The roads are terrible. There are potholes everywhere and plenty of obstacles. I broke my fingers when my piano got stuck in a pothole and fell backwards. But the cabs are the worst, because there are times when I have to push the piano in the middle of the street so that I don’t run into any parked cars.

How many different ways have you tried to cart your piano around the city?

I’ve tried a traditional dolly, with a couple of straps. That was wobbly. I tried building my own dolly with a hand truck and two dollies (my dad’s idea). It didn’t work so great. I researched having a piano bicycle actually made for me — but it was going to cost $2,500. I thought about buying a food cart and taking off the box, but it would have required a welder. Finally, after a whole lot of research, I landed on something called the all-terrain dolly. I had one built for me out of a family-owned business in Atlanta.

Before you returned to New York, you traveled for months with just your piano and your dog. Why?

I wanted to combine everything I loved to do: travel, make music, meet people. I figured I would get a lot better if I relied on the piano to eat and to pay for gas. I did.

Where was the most interesting place you visited?

I played on the edge of a cliff in Yellowstone. I played on the edge of the Grand Canyon. In Portland, Oregon, a guy came up to me and pounded on my keys because I was taking the attention away from him; he was playing guitar on the other side of the farmer’s market. But I think the craziest place I played was inside a redwood tree.

Any particular characters you met along the way?/

Cuba Gooding, Jr. came up to me and dropped a $20 in my bucket with a huge grin on his face. I also met Kevin Jonas. He tweeted a photo of me. This one time, a woman came up to me, dropped a $5 bill in the bucket and said, “This $5 is for Brando, not you.” I tried to give it to Brando but he wouldn’t take it. I gave him a few dog treats instead.

I’m following Steve Pavlina (my personal favorite personal development writer) along for an education in creating passive income streams. I just had to set a goal, and he said to put it up publicly IF I can expect support and encouragement. Well, here it is:

I create a new stream of passive income by December 31, 2012, that generates at least $200 per month on average and endures for a minimum of 5 years.

Support, and encourage. Let’s get started.
