Ji Lee: The Transformative Power of Personal...
Bored with his ad agency gig and the uninspiring work he was producing, Ji Lee – now Creative Director of Google Creative Lab – decided to take matters into his own hands in 2002. The result was the ad-spoofing Bubble Project, in which Lee placed blank speech bubbles on ads around New York City. The masses responded and the project went viral, gaining Lee recognition and ultimately forwarding...

We Are Stardust
Another mind expanding, soul tingling post from Kevin Kelly in The Technium today.
Every year at year’s end the intellectual impresario (and my literary agent) John Brockman asks his clients and friends a Question. For 2012 the question was WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DEEP, ELEGANT, OR BEAUTIFUL EXPLANATION? About 200 of us answered, compiled here. The collection is a good read.

A Whole Lot of Nothing
From one of my favourite blogs, The Technium, by Kevin Kelly
I live about 2 km from the ocean. I rode down on my bike today and just hung out on the shore to watch the waves crashing over each other. This is what it looked like on our beach in Pacifica. As I sat on some rocks watching the waves roll in and the wind whipping the foam at the top, and the sun shinning through the crest...

"This is what you should do..." ~ Walt Whitman
This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated...

"It's always been this way"
The only standard is impermanence.
It’s very easy to believe that the world we live in has always been this way.
Your ethnic group has always had a similar standing.
Technology has always permitted certain kinds of interactions and is always improving.
Real estate values always rise from decade to decade. (Until they don’t).
A job has always been the standard way to make a...

Escape into Life: Entrance By Rainer Maria Rilke →
aperfectcommotion:
Whoever you are: step out of doors tonight, out of the room that lets you feel secure. Infinity is open to your sight. Whoever you are. With eyes that have forgotten how to see from viewing things already too well-known, lift up into the dark a huge, black tree and put it in the heavens: tall, alone.

Program or Be Programmed
When human beings acquired language, we learned not just how to listen but how to speak. When we gained literacy, we learned not just how to read but how to write. And as we move into an increasingly digital reality, we must learn not just how to use programs but how to make them. In the emerging, highly programmed landscape ahead, you will either create the software or you will be the software....

WatchHumanity is crossing in to a new era - evolving according to the pattern of all living systems. There are parts. There is a whole. There are relationships. There is a ‘self-integrating property’.
We’ve evolved through eras of Convergence, Relationship, Divergence, and now, Integration. The most important task of our era is to acknowledge life.

Saturday talk of the Day: Daniel Kish on blindness and freedom
Kish’s organization, World Access for the Blind, trains the visually impaired to achieve greater freedom and mobility through echolocation, a technique that simulates a bat’s night vision of perceiving the environment through sound.

As life continues to ebb and flow along its course, I carry on. Every day is an opportunity to capture beauty, remembrance and flow — to cultivate and live in accordance with the feeling of rest and joyful ease, even while immersing myself in the drama of everyday life.
