LAURIE FRICK | ...the art of self-tracking

Beautiful concept and work.

Land-lined in to a MS OCS VOIP session that is being co-mingled with Webex. On mute so I can't hurt any of the technical things people are working on. #Facilitation

Scott Kiloby: wise, compassionate, loving, and insightful.

via: Scott Kiloby's' FB: Once I make a strict division between what is "out there" in you, and what is "in here" in me, I will get busy defining you against me. All of the interpreting about what is wrong with you and how you should be different, speak differently, or act differently is more about trying to define and maintain a self. The interpreting benefits me, each time, without much care to how the interpreting affects you. And saying that there is no me and no you doesn't necessarily release this inherent belief in division. As an intellectual game, spiritual insights can easily be another way to define you--the one who doesn't see--against me--the one who sees. In this way, I cannot trust my judgments of you to reveal who you really are, whether they are profound, mundane, spiritual or unspiritual. They are mostly a self-serving act of violence. When we both turn inward to see this division-making, we cannot help but meet as love.

The right calls Obama socialist, the left says he sucks up to Wall Street, and independents think he's a wimp. Andrew Sullivan on how the president may just end up outsmarting them all.

After reading the Information Diet, I: read from the left, read from the right, read sources less subject to churnalism and sound-bite rhetoric, and make my own half baked assumptions. Obama 2012. It'll happen. Mitt winning the nomination will be great entertainment, piss off a lot of the mainstream GOP base, and delight the Dems. I don't know enough about Romney, but would love to see two smart men debate. Santorum, don't get me started.

What the fuck has Obama done so far?

Check out this website I found at whatthefuckhasobamadonesofar.com

I think it's easier to point out what Obama *has* done when people espouse the myth that he hasn't achieved much. Nobody, including Obama, could live up to the hype that preceded his election. In spite of that, and a toxic inheritance from Bush, he has shown grace, intelligence, and a brilliant long game. Two termer, no question, even if the Republicans get their circus in order.
