And, in fact, I think this entire site is pretty cool, although it is not enough to say just that without including something about why this is so. The site is reassuring because it codifies a way of living, and more importantly, a way of enjoying life. In the modern era there is far too much consumption and far too little enjoyment, and it is inspiring to see a site so dedicated to enjoyment. Hats off.
