I think that in these trying times of economic change, people should look to decreasing thier wants, examining thier needs, and learn to take less from the enviroment.

New to the forum. I've been reading the blog for a while, probably about a year now, on and off. I didn't really want to start posting, but then I realized there is a lot of very useful information on the forums and it would be kind of unfair not to at least register.
Right now I'm an English teacher in South Korea. It's sort of killing my soul, so I'm going home in December and probably not coming back.

I'm new to the forum. I've been reading Ran's blog regularly for 2 or 3 years now, found it through some link or another from a peak oil site, can't quite remember.

I live in Brooklyn with my husband and 3-year-old son and work at the United Nations as a linguist (French, Spanish, a little bit of Arabic). I found out about peak oil right around when my son was born, and have been doing some serious soul-searching since then.

Been following Ran's site for about 3 years or so, having (predictably) found the 'How to drop out' article via Google. Very interesting place, and a lot of fine contributions at the forum. Really must throw Ran a few bucks, although I believe he's backing off from encouraging donations at the mo.

Both shows went fantastic. I was on form both nights; played great, sang great. The audiences were really into it and the new songs went over surprisingly well.

I'm grotesquely behind schedule on the album project. Lots of stuff going on with the gardening; I've been building cold frames and bean tepees. I'm also trying desperately to find part-time employment that will meet our thankfully modest monetary needs.

I'm going to need ten or twelve songs; I have six written and one more in progress.

I've been reading Ran's site for years now, but finally decided to start participating. The main reason is that I would like to someday do what Ran is doing: buy a few acres of damaged land somewhere and bring it back to life. I used to dream of living on the land, but now I realize that that isn't a realistic goal for me.

I have been reading this website and message board with great interest. Ran is a very smart and progressive man (and I don't mean 'progress' as how modern day society and capitalism labels it). I have read your posts about consumerism, the state of the Internet, beauty and quality (and how they are dying), and about the nasty chemicals in food and cleaning products.
