First of all, I'm simply always discovering how connected this network of individuals (collectiduals?) awakening consciousness is. I'm actually looking for a name to call us all. Creative change-makers, thinkerpoets, edgers
Main discoveries were George Por's 'community intelligence' site www.community-intelligence.com and Gavin Keech's www.metamaps.cc . Another connection to him, also working on Ubiquid.us, is Ishan Shapiro, who started a collective called NotThisBody. These individuals are very connected to George Por and Venessa Miemis. AND they're working with Brendan Howley who Emma is good friends with and might work as his personal assistant! It may not be long before we make contact with this whole crew and when we do I want to be ready. I'd like to start experimenting with creating graphics so that there are digital versions of the things we have in our house.
Gavin Keech, and Entanglement started following me on twitter today so I'd like to step it up even further about making my twitter feed a worthwhile place to watch.
Metamapping, memetic cartography. What they did at metamaps.cc is create a set of icons which can help blueprint basically anything. Here's an image.
Now, on to some more personal matters. I got a good response back from Steve today saying that they would love to have my help and that there would be space in the community garden we create for me. I'm pretty excited about this and wanting to get started. I spent a lot of time on my own just thinking today and ended up getting fairly caught in my head, so it was helpful when I went to visit Simon tonight. He brought me back down to Earth and I followed up my visit with a peaceful walk through the cemetery. How nice to walk at 1 km an hour. It was a beautiful evening out.
Today I designed some social media icons for my website. I still have to fill in the Projects page, and both other pages could use work too. I even figured out how to make it so that my website is licensed under Creative Commons Canada, 2.5 licensing.
Today I talked with Tanya about the possible LRC alumni weekend and we discussed what it might look like and a date. The date's we discussed were May 21- 22 and June 11-12. Tanya spoke about actually keeping that time spent together open so that whatever wanted to happen could. That works for me, and then I can just bring my 'who are we as resources' question as what I'm bringing and hold it as a possibility for the 40 hours or whatever it is. We've had to cut it down from being an entire weekend due to time constraints that Tanya has. Whichever weekend we think will work for that, I think it may make sense to look at having the other weekend as an intro weekend. We have an accumulating group of people interested in an Intro.
Tomorrow I plan to do some thinking about Wendesday night and what that will look like. I also plan to do some work on Heather's website. I need to talk to Emma about the raised beds at the front of the house, and about what will happen with Thinkerpoet. I have been thinking about a proposal that would look something like this:
Whatever resources you have for this website, or that you think it is worth to you, pay me that. From there on, I'll work with you on creating the site and it doesn't matter how long.
Something that I've been thinking about doing in order to step up the interest in having Hometown Eatery hire me for their website is redesigning a page of their menu and then bringing it in. Rissky.
Ok. I think that's all.
Oh. I have been thinking about the kinds of thing that I have been writing for my blog here, and thinking that I may actually fill the blog up with two types of content. One is personal learning, and one is distributable pieces of writing that I work on over time of my original ideas and thinking. I can keep those pieces as drafts and just work on them ongoing until I feel ready to publish them. Yeah.
