My amazon wishlist (519)
Here's my shameless plug for you to buy me something. Considering my budget, it would be greatly appreciated.
Ed Littlefox - Soquili Center (361)
I met Ed Littlefox, a Cherokee Saponi elder, when I was 15. At the time I had lost faith in Christianity and knew there was something deeper to be found. In my search for a "new religion" I came across Littlefox. He mentored me till the age of 21 or so and taught me that I didn't need drugs to get high and that the greatest textbook was the world around me. If it weren't for him, I would probably be either dead or some junkie loser. Though I still battle with the feelings of being a loser from time to time, the junkie part never happened. hehe Anyways, Littlefox now has a piece of land where he keeps about 40 horses and runs an educational and Cherokee ceremonial center in North Carolina.
Tom Brown, Jr. - Tracker School (322)
From 1993 - 1997 I took over 15 of his weeklong intensives and volunteered to help with over 30 more. Ed Littlefox taught me to open my eyes, that the world around me was the greatest textbook. Tom taught me to read. My mom actually introduced me to him via his book The Vision. Little did my mom know how much it would change my life.

The Life of Milarepa : A New Translation from the Tibetan (262)
The story of the Tibetan saint Milarepa profoundly touched me in my early explorations of world religions. If you ever thought you weren't worthy of spiritual grace for being a bad person this book gives hope. Milarepa' s early life was littered with cruel and murderous acts yet he was still able to redeem himself later in life to become one of Tibet's greatest saints.
Homestar Runner (252)
I visit this site every week(it's updated every Monday) for a little amusement. It's good clean cartoon fun that you can take your whole family too! :)
Wired News interviewed the twenty-something Chapman brothers, with contributor Melissa Palmer, who is the voice of Marzipan. This article also has a link to an audio interview with the creators.
Matthew Cox's Cafe Shop (251)
You can show your support for me and this website by purchasing something from my Cafe Shop. Who knows what you'll find here. Shirts, Mugs, and more all with my own personal touch.
Fools Crow: Wisdom and Power (243)
Frank Fools Crow was a most revered elder and healer of the Lokota people in the 1900's. This book details accounts of how he approached life and the methods he used to tap the essence of God, thus becoming a "hollow bone". These few short words barely scratch the surface of how amazing he was or the book. It has valuable lessons for anyone on any spiritual path.
Bob Moog (240)
Bob Moog (pronounced Mogue, as in 'rhymes with vogue') I had the great fortune to study with him during his last year teaching at UNCA. For those of you who don't know, his influence on commercial theremins and keyboard synthesizers is legendary. What he taught me went way beyond electronic music. In fact, to paraphrase his first lecture, he said "It is senseless for me to teach you how to use a particular piece of equipment or software because technology is constantly changing. I prefer to teach you how to teach yourself". The intensity and lessons from the courses I took from him dramatically shaped how I approach life and technology.
Eustace Conway - Turtle Island Preserve (238)
Eustace came to my elementary school years ago, setup a tee pee, and demonstrated all sorts of primitive skills and storytelling. He lived in a tee pee for over 14 years before he upgraded to a cabin(still without electricity). I met him before Ed and Tom. He taught me the most humble respect for tools and hard work.
