I’m joining Tommy W. and others who’ve put forth a resolution to capture at least one image every day. Today I stopped by to see what’s left of a friend’s house. While we were gone for Christmas vacation, Scott had a fire at his house. This is what’s left of the carport. The wall to […]

Let ’em Know You Care
As the nation pauses today to remember the attack on Perl Harbor, let’s also take some time to think of our currently-serving troops. It really doesn’t matter if you agree with President Bush’s policy or not, the fact is that the guys and gals are there – thousands of miles from home – while most […]
Recommendations That Ended Well
We may have our differences of opinion but Dave‘s still the Blogfather, having gotten many of us – including me – interested in weblogging with his writing, his offer of EditThisPage, the development of Radio and his enthusiasm in general. His writing also inspired me to give the Grateful Dead a listen. I’d heard of […]
Johnson on Video Games
“What is the current reigning technological paradigm — combined with both market and public-sector forces — doing to our minds?” Steven Johnson, who I heard interviewed on the radio this afternoon, tackles that in a book that I’m very much looking forward to reading: Everything Bad Is Good for You. I wrote a paper back […]
Day 2: Communications
David St.Lawrence was writing the other day about communications. Well, about getting another person to listen to you, which is partly about communicating. As the guys in the sessions I taught would probably tell you — I know I said it more than enough times throughout the course — there’s something I consider paramount to […]
Elements of My Philosophy
As with many things, this is a work in progress as I attempt to put my brain into bits. Knowledge is not power If your worth is determined by what you know today, what will be your worth tomorrow when things change? Value the ability to learn Reflect upon what worked and what didn’t. Learn […]
A New Eagle Scout
Congratulations, James. Mom and I are so proud of you and your accomplishments, and we happily acknowledge to all the man of fine character you’ve become. By the way, let’s consider this a virtual Court of Honor; would all Eagles please rise and comment here with the location and date on which they earned their […]
Find a Place to Slow Down
Curt on Meditation: I don’t mean wrap yourself in a pretzel and contemplate the sound of one hand clapping meditation. I mean a simple slowing down and centering. Slowing down, I realized/remembered last night, can be as simple as removing yourself from all the “normal” stuff. At home, at the office, even camping with the […]
Catch a (new) wave and you’re sitting on top of the world
Curt’s writing about goals, why we work, in Money or Meaning, and says “I call the first ten years out of college the incubation period.” That sounds about right to me. There’s a line in Step Into Liquid, and on the soundtrack CD, that resonates every time I hear it. Gerry Lopez is talking about […]
