CURRENT MISSION To make the world a better place! I ran a non-profit organization dedicated to reducing food waste, called Robin Food. Documentary trailer about us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxSfHkLxnJE ABOUT ME I am Shai, living in Princeton NJ with my wife Noa and toddler Oz. Noa is a physicist at Princeton Uni. I'm an social entrepreneur, graphic designer, illustrator, activist, freegan, and like to get things moving. I'm into hiking, beatbox/rap, DIY, growing and cooking food, sustainable ways of living, and always learning. I use the internet as a tool for positive change. I love traveling, especially with moments of improvisation. It gives you a lot of perspective :) PHILOSOPHY Somewhere, something amazing is waiting to be known. - Carl Sagan You can either have one guy lifting a billion pounds by himself, and it takes many years of planning and preparation - or you can have a billion people, each lifting one pound, and it takes a mere moment. This is the power of unity. - Jacque Fresco I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can't see from the center. - Kurt Vonnegut

音乐、电影与书籍
Music. A mix of hip hop, metal, electronic, jazz, funk, blues, prog, experimental, folk, classical and pretty much everything in between. Feed my ears please! Movies. Things that make you think or at least freak out. Waking Life, Synecdoche NY, Lynch, Jarmuch, Jodorovsky... Monty Python of course! Books. I mix each non-fiction book with one fiction, which ranges between a lot of subjects and genres.
