The one thing you will notice though, is that I’ve found a way to integrate my first two years of blogging (the blog I called Numinous Non-Sense) into this blog with the newest WordPress. If you look to the right, you’ll see my archives now extend back to
December 2003 (including both the posts and the original comments). I’d been trying to do this for a longtime now, and am so glad I finally found a way to do it.

wordpress 2.0, blogging

Thank you my friends!

VH.com has become my new blog project, where I’ll probably be shifting gears a little bit. Doing a little less posting (in terms of frequency), and will be shifting away from just integral/meditation stuff and will be explicitly exploring just about everything…. I’ll also be posting longer articles there, which I haven’t done so much here. Kind of practicing for being a stodgy, boring, academic you know?

In any case, please check out my new blog, and check back here until Sept 23…

Transformation is an elitist process: not necessarily elitist in terms of social or economic privilege (although that can help to free one’s energy for something more then mere survival) but elitist in terms of urgency and perspective.

This is a great article on a what post-postmodern approach to women’s issues would look like. She is basically suggesting that women (and men) need to go beyond postmodern plurality in order to continue pushing for “Women’s Liberation.”

P.S. - Online, you can read another article of Elizabeths called, Where Are the Women?

They say talk is cheap. Google thinks it should be free. Google Talk enables you to call or send instant messages to your friends for free–anytime, anywhere in the world. Google Talk offers you:

Choice: Get in touch how and when you want to–over email, IM or a call

Quality: Talk through your computer but hear your friends as if they were in the same room

Convenience: Your Gmail contacts are pre-loaded into Google Talk so inviting or talking to your friends is just a click away

Props to eBuddha for inviting me to check this out…

Greetings to all BA and MA Religious Studies students,

The Religious Studies Department has established a relationship with both Shambhala Sun and BuddhaDharma magazines. The good news for you, as a student in our Department, is that these publications have made available, to those who may be interested, sample and discounted subscriptions to each of these publications.

Welcome back to school!

Welcome back to school indeed! Going to get me some free magazines baby, yeahuh!

Feeling privileged to be included here at GenSit is one of the first things that crosses my mind in thinking of what to write. The second is wondering if I can keep up—as we ‘dinosaurs’ are not nearly as fleet of foot, or as adaptive, as homo technicalis seems to be. This is probably why you won’t see alot of links, associated images, icons, or those things called ‘tags’ (whatever the hell those are) in my initial offerings. What I do hope you will find are insightful, thought-provoking, sane, occasionally humourous, and decidedly heart-felt ponderings on the nature of living a (post)human life in the early decades of the 21st Century. - [GenSit.org]

I have no doubt that’s what we’ll all find. Great to be blogging with you!

Woke up this morning to a fleet of ballons flying by our bedroom window. Ran outside with the 35mm and the digital and got a few shots. It was fun, except for the fact that the I had to trudge through the sprinklers to get out there.

It wasn’t a cable channel we were talking about, but a movement. And those of us who were ready to lend a hand - everyone from Steven Johnson to Scott Heifferman - were imagining something more like Feed.com or meetup.com than MTV. In fact, the whole idea of putting the thing on television seemed rather superfluous. Why not let this thing evolve more naturally online, where people can post text, photos, or video, and where collaborative filtering could be used to select front-page pieces?

I couldn’t agree more, and hope that maybe Al gets on board. For someone who said they had a hand in helping the internet become commercialized, you’d think he’d take advantage of the technology that he helped bring forth…
