The Zen Habits blog pulls together suggestions from its readers on how to travel very, very light to make vacations less stressful and more adventurous. The compiled backpack list includes travel documents, deodorant, two each of shorts, T-shirts and underwear, and only a camera to tinker with, amongst other warm-weather necessities. But we turn now to you, dear reader, to ask: What bare necessities would you pack if you had to shove an entire vacation into a backpack? What gadgets and tools can you not stand to live without, and what items have you found unnecessary? Offer up some minimalist wisdom in the comments, and get inspired by your fellow readers if you're making a trip this weekend. Photo by ToastyKen.

New York Magazine online suggests that despite your innate ability to walk, years of walking in shoes has got you doing it all wrong. The result: more aches and pains in your body than you should naturally encounter. The article as a whole is a compelling read, making the case that despite the great lengths shoe manufacturers have taken to bring comfort to your step, most shoes are doing more harm than good. The author also highlights a shoe style called Vivo Barefoot made specifically to mimic the barefoot walking experience while providing some of the modern necessities of shoes (like, um, protecting you from broken glass). The article is persuasive—enough at least to pique my interest in some barefoot shoes—but if you have experience with the baref read more »

Since its release last month, Dr. Horrible has legions of geeks singing in the shower and (re)discovering her award-winning web series about a group of online gamers, The Guild.

Other companies are based abroad and your office is in Bulgaria, would you say that this is a problem or an advantage?
That's an advantage. In the early days of the transition following
the fall of communism it was very customary for foreign law firms,
foreign investment firms, project firms, to come, stay 10 days, go back,
come stay 10 days - the economies of these areas have grown to the
point where you cannot do that , you have got to be here 24/7, so we
think being here full time is a practical necessity to be effective.
