Thing #20

Report on the latest items in my 2 RSS feeds from before
From Google Reader, one of the feed is on AutoCAD Tips Newsletter and the latest 4 articles written on 18 Jan 2009 were contributed by ellen@ellenfinkelstein.com. They covered some tips on editing drawings using DXF, speeding work through keyboard shortcuts, saving objects to separate files through write blocks, and displaying a lost custom toolbar.

The other feed is on Gardening Ideas. There were 28 entries and the last entry on 18 Jan 2009 featured a photo of the week of Amazon Passion - a photo of a South African garden at a place without snow during this period of time. Cool!

Embed a video in my Blog post
I find the following YouTube video very interesting as it shows how a sustainable structure can be built easily by the local people in Nepal. Readily available material such as sand and cement are used for the construction. It's really amazing. It's just too bad that we lack these very materials in Singapore. I'll try to put the same video into MeL for the module on landscape construction principles.

Great video.

Buildings in Western countries are largely unsustainable.

I have stayed in underground houses in outback Australia. They were great. Just like the Nepal ones, they are cool in summer and warm in winter - with no aircon.
