You know the story of Goldielocks and the Three Bears..."This porridge is too hot... This porridge is too cold...Ahh, this porridge is just right." I know this a strange analogy (I'm somewhat known for this), but that's what comes to mind when I think about Lloyd Kahn. I came across a video of him on the Old Faithful blog today and I can't help but love the guy. I'm not a fan of over the top granola crunching hippie types, nor do I appreciate those selfish enough not to realize that our resources are not limitless or that what we do can and will affect others in a negative way (and that this IS a big deal), but Mr. Kahn is just right. As Old Faithful puts it, he is "a true original... prolific D-I-Y man." He was also a big fan of Buckminster Fuller, a personal favorite of mine. I think he would be an interesting person to hang with for a day. I wouldn't have much to add to the conversation but I would thoroughly enjoy listening to him ramble on while nodding my head every so often. And maybe he could teach me to long board!
