his is going to be kinda random, mostly it’s just a bit of news and some thoughts which are the surfacing of the many tracks of thought which are my life.
A) The life I am living is not the life I want to live. I want to do technology, but I want to use it to build community, to connect people both to their living peers and to their past peers. I think this is the beauty of the internet…. B)… C)….
This is going to be kinda random, mostly it’s just a bit of news and some thoughts which are the surfacing of the many tracks of thought which are my life.
A) The life I am living is not the life I want to live. I want to do technology, but I want to use it to build community, to connect people both to their living peers and to their past peers. I think this is the beauty of the internet.The internet is the apex of what information technology will be during our lifetimes and it saddens me to see it used as little more than an opportunity to make more money. Not that making money is bad… but information has value beyond the $$. I need to get on my plans. Which I won’t tell you about here.
B) Barrack Obamma. I am listening to this mans latest book. “The Audacity of Hope” I have to say this is the first politician I listened to in many years that has even a lick of sense. At the very least the book serves as an explaination how our government actually works, but Obamma adds somethiing else here, he adds wisdom. His ideas forman symphony which I have failed to see in public discourse in…well ever. I hope he runs for President soon as this country is entirely to awash in “spin” and “one liner” word play for it’s own good. A voice that can bring coherence to complex world we live in is badly needed.
C) I went camping this weekend. The point of the trip was to gain some perspective on an event I signed myself up for in May of this year. The Wildflower Triathlon. Wendy and I staid in the campgrounds that host he event. Sunday we did the bike ride, and today I did the run. My body is a wreak. While I’m pretty sure I can finish the even which will be upon me in 3 months. I’m not so sure I willl be able to move fore a few days afterward. More later.
D) I am a revolutionary. It’s that simple. I am driven by the desire to break new ground, to open new pathways, to flush out the stail with something freash. It does not matter in what facet of life, I’m always looking for something better and I do so with little regard to what has previously been standing. This has not been my life as of late. I attribute this to the type of revolution I have lately been marching with. There seems to be 3 kinds. 1) nhilist, the revolution which simply seeks to destroy the status quo, 2) suplantist, one which seeks to tear down the status quo and replace it with a new structure, and 3) irrelevantist, one which fails to even acknoledge the status quo and see only it’s own structure exteding into the all manner of life. I believe I have move progressivly in my personal life from 3 to 1. This is un acceptable.
Man I am soar. More in a later post.
