Lurkers and Lookers

September 22nd, 2009 No comments

As stated on Twitter previously, it’s amazing how many lurkers there are out there. Not sure what the formula would be, but seems an easy 2-3x as many than those who actively comment on blog, Twitter and other posts.

It’s all well and good that people do what they do (or don’t do), I’m just generally curious and eager for some dialogue and feedback from my contacts. In light of this, I’ve begun recently to try and participate more with other people’s content. And even if it doesn’t change much with regards to this, I can enjoy my own output to them as I know what it means to receive it.

Slow Week of Posting

January 31st, 2009 No comments

With the baby’s arrival, there hasn’t been much thought for anything quicker than some quick uploads from my phone, mostly of baby of course.

I hope to be back to my daily posting soon though.

Latest Blog Additions

December 17th, 2008 No comments

I’ve finally configured my Flickr account for blog posting.

This is proving to be handy and a rich source for material as I shoot pics more often than anything else, creatively speaking, these days. So if you notice a change in format in my blog posts, or see alternating posts with and without images, this is why.

Incidentally, you may also notice some weirdness in the left nav bar where categories are mingling in with my blogroll. Still trying to sort this out at the moment…

Database Weirdness or Something…

December 9th, 2008 No comments

Even with the help I got from NetSol last week, I’m still having issues with my blog. Most notably in the right-hand sidebar: from my blogroll to categories and more, nothing has been functioning quite right. I’m especially irked that my tags and categories didn’t import with the upgrade and my hacks to any of the new blog themes aren’t taking, at all.

The current theme minimizes these issues, but still some are actively troubling me/it.

I’m currently hung up in dealing with issues with AISO again though, so it might be even longer until this upgrade is truly complete…

Blog Upgrade: Step 1 Complete

December 3rd, 2008 No comments

I’ve finally gotten my blog upgraded, though unfortunately just to version 2.6.0.

Still, it’s better than no upgrade and I’m thankful for one rep’s assistance at NetSol who helped me around a “sticky” theme which was giving me no end of hassle in finishing the upgrade.

I’ve also added in some new themes and feel like this current one is a good fit, just needs a little modification to properly display my blog title. And of course, I’ve got to add in my social network badges like: Twitter, MyBlogLog, etc.

Mass Consciousness, Technology and Sustainability Converging In Los Angeles

March 12th, 2008 No comments

I believe it’s time for a Collective Council here in Los Angeles, CA (and beyond).

To that end I’m working on a new project but old idea (think Gathering of the Tribes, aka GoTT), something which I foresee benefiting all of the LA communities and others and am looking to get the word out to the various, key community leaders.

Below is an initial overview of the project. If anyone has any input on any of this, can suggest members, or wishes to get involved, please let me know.

Additionally, I see this expanding well beyond Los Angeles and our related communities at some point, as I often think big, on a global scale.

I’ve even worked on or discussed similar concepts with some of you out there before. I believe that this venture stands free and clear of anything else prior to this initiative and that any related ventures can serve some part in this. I am not looking to usurp anyone’s dreams or current ventures, but rather instead wish to connect and help strengthen them all, just as I wish to do with the community leaders and members here in LA (and beyond).

Many pieces are already in place or soon will be, to further fuel and catapult all of us to new realms of wonder and enlightenment. Some present pieces include:

Abundant Sugar, Amoration, Burning Man, Coachella, Creative Citizen, Dianovo, Empowerment Works, GLiving, GoTT, Green Nectarine, Green Sector, Growing Architecture, Hipgenesis, Lightning In A Bottle, Lucent Dossier, Moontribe, Mutaytor, Orangekids, Pocket Underground, Space Island, The Do LaB, The Sugar Shack, Tribe, Twitter, ToyShoppe Pro, WordPress, Words For The Many, Virgin Music Festival, YouTube, etc.

Official Description (subject to change):

You, the leading members/representatives from each of the major communities within the greater Los Angeles collective underground, are hereby cordially invited to join the Collective Council to help stimulate, educate and otherwise empower stronger bonds between each others organizations and the communities they represent.

I believe the time has come that each of your respective communities be brought together in a sacred and respectful manner to offer up each others strengths and wisdom to insure a healthier, wiser, safer and more protected collective community. From questions on business, to legal matters, to fundraising for projects, legal and health matters, to greater community outreach, we can all come to benefit from each others experience and wisdom for greater prosperity and evolution.

To that end I have begun several viral web initiatives including a tribe online to start connecting those that wish to play a part in this. For those who enjoy the micro-level of connectedness, a Twitter log has been initiated as well. You can find us online at these locations, more to follow soon:

http://tribes.tribe.net/collectivecouncil
http://twitter.com/thecollective
http://collectivecouncil.com

As a participating member to varying degrees, of a number of Los Angeles based collectives: Green Gurus, Green Sector, Mid-City Neighborhood Council, Moontribe, The Do Lab, Sugar Shack, etc. and as a maturing entrepreneur, Capricorn, and all around social architect if you will (those who know me well should understand this better) of collective bits, I’m confident I can help shape and lead a unifying body of consciousness to help council, develop, assist, and otherwise insure a stronger web of resources to be called upon as needed throughout all communities.

Should you wish to become active in this endeavor, I will greatly honor and appreciate you as a valued member and participant and take any suggestions, criticisms and all around council with the utmost respect and gratitude. All I ask is that you honor this vision with an equal amount of respect and formality, as this is an attempt to propel and unite each other into the unfolding universal flow and convergence that is now occurring and rapidly accelerating around us all.

I will be contacting many community members through the coming days and weeks to further shape these efforts. Plans are also loosely coming together for a first, formal meeting of interested parties.

I eagerly welcome your response, input and any questions that you may have.

Today, December 29th, is the start of my Golden Year.

Not only is today a Golden birthday and the start of my only Golden year, but it’s also smack-dab in the middle of my Saturn Returns.

Sheesh, I hope I play my cards right. ;)
