“You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.” — Jack London, Author passed along from Raj

If Things Look Down, Look Up

December 3, 2007

2

This is a marvelously inspirational column by Thomas Hoving, heartlessly stolen from the December, 1985 issue of the now-defunct and oft-lamented Connoiseur magazine. Early this fall, I had one of those “Chicken Little” kinds of days. Not only the sky but the whole world seemed to be collapsing. Riots, bombings, apartheid, earthquakes, and plane crashes […]

stay hungry. stay foolish

Universities rightly get a lot of crap for handing out honorary degrees to celebrities (Tom Selleck, anyone?) just to ramp up the glam factor of their graduation ceremonies so that the no-name honorary degree-getters will feel inspired to donate millions. But every now and again a celebrity comes up with something that’s pure gold. They’re […]

manifestation, intentionality, and evolution: the cybergypsy speaks!

June 20, 2007

Yesterday I told you about Digital Divide and the laptop they donated to the rtr project (that would be this blog, the wiki, the classes, and all suchlike empowering activities). Today I’d like to put that in perspective and talk about what it means in the context of the universe and all of the esoteric […]

dance to inspire, inspire to dance

June 18, 2007

This is a great video about how to just get over the rules and restrictions we put on ourselves and enjoy the simple pleasure of dance. It’s both literal and metaphorical, and the vid is studded with inspirational quotes, well worth the watching. Video over the jump, as always. :: :: :: :: :: :: […]

Diane Ackerman on beginnings, endings, and the part in between

  It began in mystery, and it will end in mystery, but what a savage and beautiful country lies in between. Diane Ackerman inspirational quotes wikipage :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: ::

the whole wide world wide web, put in perspective

May 21, 2007

  This is a classic of the internets. In cyberyears it’s about coeval with the earliest life forms, and all online life as we know it has descended from that root. This explains a great deal. The Perfect Artistic Website is indeed a perfect artistic website, but it’s even better as a sort of etch-a-sketch for […]

what’s your horse in the country?

May 18, 2007

0

This is a beautiful song about freedom deferred, and a thought-provoking lesson in the sacrifices people make on a daily basis, putting their dreams aside or squashing them into the corners of their lives rather than giving up what they’ve settled for to chase what they love. It’s never easy to find that balance; it is always worth […]

silent beats

May 17, 2007

Sorry, dialup users, it’s another YouTube. This one is silent beats, a student film which won the Princess Grace Award. It’s a beautiful piece about first impressions and assumptions, something like David Bowie’s I’m Afraid of Americans. Video over the jump. community wikipage :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: ::
