The Art of Non Conformity

This is a new fav. site for me! While blog hunting for new and useful tips about how to downsize our large suburban home into a 3 bedroom apartment, otherwise known as distilling our lives (actually quite a freeing process the universe has gifted us with), I found this site. 'The Art of Non Conformity' http://chrisguillebeau.com/3x5/ and so far I am impressed. He seems to have grasped how to be different, live differently not for the sake of being odd or a non conformist but simply because he, like every self same one of us, is different. He state's the essence of his philosophy (read in full on his site) is this

"1. You don’t have to live your life the way other people expect you to.
2. If you don’t decide for yourself what you want to get out of life, someone else will probably end up deciding for you.
3. There is usually more than one way to accomplish something.
4. You can do good things for yourself and help other people at the same time."

Nope, nothing startling new, but he doesn't claim to be inventing the wheel. In my mind he's just putting out there some good reminders...and he loves travel, definately my kinda person!
