He’s Just Had Coffee

Donald Donato and I have recently agreed to do a little exegetical work on the Twelve Apostles - trying to draw them into a Gnostic frame, so to speak. I’m terrified, Donald is a much better educated gentleman than me, so I’m certain to look like an amateur, but one does what one can… There […]

I’m mucking around with tumblr by creating a tumblelog for my ongoing reading related to my various non-IT interests - particularly an integral take on organisations and on Gnosticism. It’s called Resonance, it’s got a feed. Please feel welcome. Technorati Tags: blogging, gnostic, integral

So, the über geeks are all right into twitter, which lets you send little notes about what you’re up to to a website via SMS or IM. You can subscribe to other people’s and you get the notifications via SMS (if you want). Crazy. I signed up a few months ago, but never used it. Now it’s […]

If, like me, your computer’s hard drive has slowly filled and you’re not entirely certain where all those gigabytes went, might I cautiously recommend (for Mac OS users) GrandPerspective. It visualizes all the files on your hard drive as rectangles packed roughly intuitively. I’ve used other tools, but this one makes it trivial to locate […]

So… I never actually made it to an internet cafe… too busy eating I’m back in Sydney, gradually catching up. I have a lot of pictures which will leak into Flickr over the next couple of weeks. I had an awesome time.

I’m off tomorrow to Kuching (somewhere near here), to spend a week before and a week after Chinese New Year with Anthony’s family. This is the first time we’ve had a chance to visit them for about two and a half years, so it’s going to be great to go back. Last time I was […]

I don’t quite know why I find a group of Finns whining to music as beautiful as I do… But I do! Technorati Tags: community, globalism

Fr John on his blog Priestcraft writes: Can we hand over our most painful memories, our worst violations, and our nastiest deeds to God, knowing that all this mess is held in the divine memory, not in accusation or for an accounting of guilt, but in grace and in love? Can we somehow […]

I’ve been putting a simple façade page over the front of this site for a while to make a kind of index of projects. The times we live in have been wearing away my attachment to “timbomb” though… it gets more troubled reactions than it used to. Then it occurred to me I could just […]

Mornings are a fragile time. One of the ways I’m trying to adapt my practice to stay more balanced is to create a more tranquil morning and even a more tranquil working environment most of the time. Version 1 is a set of practices, some in my computer, some in physical space to establish and […]

… as they say. I alluded to various things going on in an earlier post and I’ve thought perhaps I should actually put more news up. Heck, anything’s better than no content, right. Besides, we’re all friends here… Just before heading off for the Christmas/New Year break, and after a few email conversations with the Formation […]

After a long illness, Robert Anton Wilson, died on January 11. Various people, R. U. Sirius, Fr. Jordan+, Bro. Jeremy, Bill Harryman (from whom I got the news), lvx23 and I’m certain many others offer tributes both short and long. I read “The Illuminatus! Trilogy” when I was 18… Bob is almost single-handedly responsible for the […]
