I always think this tribe picture of you in a fluffy coat illuminated in a somewhat fluorescent manner to be - perfect. You said to me a while ago that you may not be as interesting as I think. In fact, the plateaus where I think "all has gone quiet with Bruce" is in fact often a slow quiet path to the next eruption of pure and humourful genius. I totally applaud the way you operate - and appreciate the non-interesting seeming times as the disguises they really are.
I think it is a pure miracle we have found each other and after a somewhat truncated year in and out of each others company it is interesting enough to see where all the many paths of exploration are leading - and to take turns basking in each others reflected brilliance.
Happy anniversary.

Kathy and Bruce are two uterly special giving people. It's been an absolute honor getting to know them, how wonderful life is when you can make such great new friends! Blessed are those whose path crosses hearts with theirs.

The Messiah of the south!
Bruce is an awesome guy and we entrust to him the fires of the south.
Lead them to the fires Bruce.
Show them how they burn.
Show them the spark,
Sow them the flame.
And in the North
We'll do the same.

bruce, in a world of people crowing on about how other people are 'unique' is truly unique. Even in a crowd of 'unique' folks he stands out as unique. Also, he rocked the house out with the f(ph)at orange zip ties.
He is my brother and I love him.

about me
See www.friendster.com/68863 for lots of glowing testimonials, in the unlikely event that there is anyone else who enjoys reading nice things about me as much as I do <grin>.
dear reader, I am no longer blogging on tribe because it seems to me to be withering away and dying.
Actually, I still get good interaction and content from Geodesic Design Group.
anyway, I have a new blog here:

thanks for listening <3
I read recently a friend's blog where he listed with remorse the activities of the current conservative government and how he felt ashamed to be a New Zealander.
http://207.210.219.115/blog/?p=850
This struck a chord with me, not because I agreed 100% with his disputes with the govt's activities, but because I also, particularly during the presidency of George Bush, felt ashamed to be an American.
Which suggests to me that we have a systems problem here that is larger than the govt ...

I was watching What the Bleep the other day... one of the interviewees who mentally creates his own reality each morning said that he always includes a request for something to come up to show him that this is happening, some kind of synchronistic sign that he himself is the man behind the curtain.
Let me tell you a story. In the early nineties there were three very bright but countercultural, misanthropic, cynical slackers in San Francisco. Much of their interaction involved talking a...

So I just listened to the voice recorder and was amazed at the similarity between the vision I had described there, which occured at kiwiburn, and the vision I had while at this weekend meditation.
Lowest common denominator information we can take from this is that this is a recurrent pattern in my brain that I was not so aware of previously
In the meditation workshop I had a vision of Thoth, Ibis-headed god of the Egyptians (a major spiritual sponsor of the event.) Thoth had his lo...

I did something called "healer camp," which was meant to be a theme camp but ended up more an installation, sort of. The idea was to provide a place for people to focus the already very present spiritual energy there.
I used some bamboo that I cut a few months before to build a simple pyramid structure, same proportions as the great pyramid in giza. I put my orgonite energy cleansing devices at each of the 5 corners, and had some of that white camo tarp with fractal hole patterns in it....

Re: Composite Space Frame Dome Greenhouse
(in Geodesic Design Group)
please note in your plans that ultra large domes, say like the one Bucky Fuller built for that expo in canada, require 2 layers for stability.
The general problem is that as the dome approaches "roundness" at higher frequencies, strut lengths a...

Re: Tyvek Dome cover
(in Geodesic Design Group)
Hi Doug,
I used Tyvek as a custom cover for an experimental structure I made some years ago now.
It ended up being unworkable because of the way I tried to fasten pieces of tyvek together.
I used commercial quality pipeline tape. Very ...

"Best herbal medicine"
The only retail store is located in Marina del Rey (Los Angeles, CA, USA) but the products are available via the web.
Don't let the somewhat cheesy marketing fool you-- this is the real stuff, strong, affordable, effective.
