Things You Don't Need: June 2010

This blog is on hiatus for a while (maybe permanently, not sure).

You can still follow me on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google+, and my Home Page.

Mission Statement

This blog divides everything in the world into three categories: (1) Things you DO NEED—that are necessary for survival and a fulfilling life; (2) things that are USEFUL—that in certain circumstances can help you achieve #1; and (3) things YOU DON’T NEED—that are neither necessary for life nor useful for obtaining the necessities. This blog attempts to define the first two categories by expanding on the third. If you get rid of THE THINGS YOU DON’T NEED, you should end up with the things that are truly worthwhile.

NOTE: Depending on the circumstances, "Things You Don't Need" can include both items that are useless (#3) and items that are occasionally useful (#2) but that you can get by without.
