Lloyd Kahn was the Shelter editor of the catalog. Kahn, an insurance broker-turned-builder, leveraged his experience with Whole Earth and began to publish his own books. First, he wrote very popular books on dome building. Kahn had become “the spokesman for the counterculture on domes” (his dome home even appeared in Life Magazine), but he took the books out of print when he decided the building style just wasn’t practical and “I didn’t want any more domes on my kharma”.

Maybe I’m a little crazy, but I think I’d love living in a Tumbleweed home and going off the grid. At least for a little while.

I’ve sent 17 emails in the past 8 hours….just a typical day over here…AT LEAST I don’t have to deal with responding to texts and facebook messages as well though :)
I’m LOVING life without texting and facebook, would highly encourage it to anyone who’s feeling overwhelmed by technology.
