http://www.kickstarter.com

Kickstarter.com matches people trying to start a project with others willing to provide funding. A project must do the following:

. A specific amount of money to be raised
. A date that collections stop
. A pitch to encourage signups

The pitch may include a video and an offer to donors.

If the money is raised by the date, donor credit cards are charged for their pledges. If not, the project goes away. Projects can ask for as much money as they like.

Just saw 2 day old crescent Moon...cool!

The only two things you can waste are opportunity by failing to act or resources by not using them effectively -- assuming you have alternatives.

Success is mostly common sense, but most people apply it sparingly.

Good news @ 6, bad @ 60: you'll never be younger than you are right now!

Jung and Synchronicity

Janna recently took a workshop on advanced healing techniques, for which she got a recording of the session. I have now listened to the first couple segments, which focused on archetypes and stages of healing which end with serendipity and synchronicity, seemingly derived from Jung. The workshop defininition seems to go beyond offering synchronicity as an explanation for some events -- the suggestion seems to be that everything is predestined.

 

I can accept the idea there are unknown underlying causes which explain some events, but I don't subscribe to the idea that synchronicity would explain everything if everything could be known.  If everything is predestined, how do we explain responsibility? Can we really hold someone accountable for an action that is predestined? If events are predestined, is there any merit to kindness, any fault in cruelty?

 

I think synchronicity can be explained as a kind of social inertia, that currents are set in the flow of events but through free will we can make choices for ourselves or possibly reshape events. Let's consider some examples:

 

The end of World War I set up a course of events that led through inertia to World War II. The inertia created was enormous, and it seems unlikely that any individual event would have turned history away from this course. By contrast, my grandparents immigrated to the United States during that time, significantly changing how that series of events directly ipacted them.

 

When John Kennedy set a goal of landing a man on the Moon, his leadership and vision guided events. The Moon landing and all that came with it were the result of continuous efforts that created a new timeline, if not a new destiny.

 

Robert Kennedy said "Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation." Synchronicity may guide the flow of the metaphorical river, but the fish in it still have choices to make.

Writer's Dilemma: one man's idiom is another's ccliché.

River walk

Yesterday afternoon was beautiful, so I took a walk along my favorite portion of the Olentangy bike path, from Tuttle Park through the wetlands. This time instead of enjoying the nature I was conscious of the pavement on the bike path. I wanted to be on the Highbanks path. What does this say about what I want in my life?

7 tips for dealing with email

7 tips for dealing with email

September 2nd, 2010 Erik Hanberg - Community Contributor
Categories | Community Contributions | Implementation

A Community Contribution from Erik Hanberg

Here's how I deal with email and keep from getting too overloaded:

1. I have one inbox. Everything goes to the same place (accounts either forward to Gmail or I've actually set Gmail up to reply from those accounts).
2. I only check email when I can reply to it easily. Unless I'm waiting for something specific, I try not to check email from my phone, because it's a recipe for getting an email that requires a length reply that I don't have the time to give on my phone. And that just stresses me out until I can reply appropriately.
3. I don't use preview windows. It's too easy to only get half the information and miss important stuff. When I used Outlook for work, this happened way more often that I would have liked. I thought it was a feature, but it turns out it wasn't helpful at all. It made me browse email more than read email.
4. When I do check email, I start at the bottom and move my way up, going through email one at a time in the order sent. It's the only way to know I haven't missed anything.
5. I know my hot keys. By not using a mouse, I fly through emails much faster.
6. If I can reply quickly, I'll do it right then. If I need to think on it, or know it will be a long reply with lots of edits, I'll star it (a Gmail feature), so I don't lose track of it. Alternatively, if you have folders, just move it to an Action folder.
7. Two or three times a year I'll unsubscribe to newsletters I'm not using anymore. It's amazing how easy it is to get onto newsletters without really trying.

The iPhone problems noted yesterday led me to restoring it from ITunes. Since SplashID does not haw it's data on the IPhone and the wifi problem seems to keep the sync from working, it may be time to try another wallet program. Current tasks:

1. Clean out junk apps I don't use in case they are rjw source of the problem.
2. Resolve the sync problem with the Belkin network.
3. recreate instapaper account.
4. Provide passwords for iPhone.

Galilleo said things fall at the same rate regardless of mass.

Newton explained this via gravity as universal. Newtons second law of motion vs newtons law of gravity.

Inertial mass = gravitational mass (principle of equicvalenc)

Implies light curves with gravity
Implies gravity warps time

Time goes slower in a gravitational field. Gravity makes time go slower.
