I was browsing through the articles on www.ted.com when I happened to come across this website. Neil Pasricha, the creator of the site has been posting every weekday since June of 2008, one awesome thing that happens everyday. As of January 25, 2012 he has already posted 935 awesome things in his life and has only 65 more posts to go until he reaches the goal of 1000 posts. The list is hilarious.

Mr. Hill was telling our AP Lit class about this website the other day and I thought it would be something I would enjoy writing about. Feltron has recorded his life, and unlike others who write in journals or blogs, he shows the world what he does, where he goes, who he meets, whatever you can possibly think of, in data graphs. The monochromatic pages are simple but yet still chaotic, bursting with numbers and other statistics. It's something everyone should check out.

This blog is about a guy who packs up and sells everything he owns and travels around the world to find his real home. I am still wondering my way through the pages of his blog but am intrigued with just the title page. The title of the blog, "A Global Quest in Search of a Place Called Home," and the picture of the man just starting to climb through the mountains ahead keeps me wanting to read more. I hope you check this blog out with me.
