Meeting with Gangaji
24Jun2007 06:07 AM Permalink
Tonight in Ashland
I
attended my first "satsang" (public meeting) with
Gangaji ... more profound wisdom about who we
really are... beyond space, time, personalities
... all offered in a grateful spirit of support
without the slightest hint of attachment to
outcome. 
Even when the power to the public
address and video system went out a couple of
times, it was obvious that her identity was
anchored in the reality we all share which
doesn't require "external" power; great
reminders! Wake up time as we find peace in the
center of the hurricane!

New Community page and SSI
25Apr2007 06:56 AM Permalink
I'm
doing a "cattle drive" this week : moving about 12
years worth of web content from our intent domain
(which is going to a new steward on May 1 who plans
to do some inspiring things with it!)... so here's
a new community page
on
my newest website
(still VERY much
a work in progress this week), but you can see
some of the little dogies in the new pasture
before the rest arrive
BTW, kudos for whoever invented Server Side Includes (SSI)... this little method of building pages on the fly from the server (and not duplicating a gazillion identical block of HTML!) is already saving me a ton of time! This is why most of the pages on my new site have a .shtml suffix instead of a .html one.

Announcing My Myspace and the Hedronists (Ashland
Geometer's Myspace)

I
have my new Myspace
set
up here. Several colleagues – we've called our
selves the "Ashland Geometers" and more some like
the sillier name of the "Hedronists" – have a
new collaborative
Myspace... stay tuned
for more fun under way!
Sierra Mousetrap & Mac lore
07Jan2007 11:01 AM Permalink
Years
ago, I was the editor of a "treeware" newsletter (I
probably have an old digital photo of the original
members around somewhere on a floppy disk; remember
those?) for the Nevada County Macintosh User's
Group, Sierra Mousetrap
which
now has a blog expertly maintained by the
dedicated efforts of long-time friend and
colleague, Rich Webster who, like
my brother, has inspired me
to take up this blogging habit with more vigor and
regularity. Friday night Rich & I had a
great skype conversation,
about life, the universe (Mac-centric, of course),
web design, and the usual host of other mutual
interests. I'll be eager to read his posts
about MacWorld Expo (since he's going
and I'm not), so go for it, Rich!
Family blog entry du jour
23Dec2006 01:20 PM Permalink
We're
all here at my Mom (Barbara Rawles) home in
Livermore, California... My sister's family from
Redlands, my brother's family from the hinterlands,
and Aunt Helen, Uncle Mike and more on the way,
munching on French toast, enjoying the little fiber
optic Christmas tree in the family room, listening to
one of the nephews practicing on the piano in the
next (living) room behind the double doors so we can
enjoy the usual 3 or 4 simultaneous conversations in
here, with most of the Mac laptops in the playing
other games (hibernating in the laundry room, where
one can usually find at least a nephew or two...
Gayle is now donning a smart black French maid's
apron, which she wore years ago doing that line of
work (it matches her black outfit perfectly) and
sauteeing onions, asking Mike & Helen about their
packing preparations for their upcoming move. Earlier
John mentioned the anecdote of "three moves is worth
a fire", and now they are discussing how Jim &
family can assist with their move while they are in
the area. Now the family heirloom furniture and
pianos "from around the horn" ... This lead to a
story from Helen and Mike about the Williamsburg
tradition of a young man building a spinning wheel to
demonstrate his woodworking skills, and then the
young woman he is courting making a shirt from the
wheel; if he accepted the shirt, they wedding would
be a "go"... John & a few more nephews emerged
from the other room, and John is now telling Helen
& Mike "what's the rush" in regard to their
moving plans, followed by a round of laughs... Now
brother Jim suggests that I post this blog entry and
send Rawle (Mike & Helen's only child) an email
greeting (with a link to this entry...) ... so I will
