Millennium Promise is the organization that actually does the dirty work when it comes to helping the poor in Africa.  In fact another post about the OmniPeace tees gives their profit to this organization.  I like this line from their mission statement “Our work is premised on the belief that, for the first time in history, our generation has the opportunity to end extreme poverty, hunger, and disease.”  They have many other supporters in addition to their current campaigns to raise money.  Millennium promise is in 80 different villages in 10 African countries.

Here we have Rolf Potts book about Vagabonding. Vagabonding…if you don’t already know, is long term world travel, never settling basically. Some past small slices of culture lived this way. If you want to check out his book, it’s at Vagabonding.net. He also keeps up a blog that has some really good original content at Vagablogging.net (pretty clever I thought).

Momofuku (translation: lucky peach) is David Chang’s New York Restaurants creation.  I watched an interview with him, and whatever humility he shows, there is no doubt in anyones mind that he is a trend setting chef.  Currently he’s got three places in New York City, and next time I’m there, I’m in.  His menu’s are constantly changing and can feature just about any type of fusion food imaginable.  I’m adding it to my list of world restaurants to visit.
