the name is unbearably cutesy, but the service is pretty good. What it does is personal mashups of your "lifestream". A lifestream is the collection of all your social network site posts - from a LOT of social networks. Normally this would be not so big a deal, but... I have a bunch I belong to, like Tribe, and a personal blog, and a futuring blog....

Profilactic lets me put an rss feed of everything in the sidebar of my wordpress blog at www.gregb.com. It's cool and useful :)

the little things build up
sand pushed to dune
one grain at a time
along the beach

which wind prevails
depends on location
ripples of earth
yield direction
after the fact

be careful climbing
granular shifts unsteady
footing whispered windsong
siren calls stop
rest before starting

little things build up
misunderstandings
careless words
a moment is enough
camels bear straw dogs.

clarity is not enough
lacking will to see
bones among the sand
polished ivory says
no water here
check at the next
mirage

For a while now I've been kind of chewing over the "reptile brain" functions, with the sense that "fight" and "flight" aren't polar opposites in a single scale. It seems that "freeze" and "fuck" are also triggered at that level, by the same kinds of stimulus. Today this diagram emerged. I'm not utterly sold on it yet, but it's a first cut.

So Saturday night, I was told "I hear you've been hitting on X, and she's afraid of you". Which would be reasonable if both

a. I knew who X was; and

b. I'd been hitting on anyone

For some reason this bothers me, perhaps more than it should. We'll see.

Optomist: the glass is half full
Pessimist: the glass is half empty
Empiricist: the 8 oz glass contains 4 ozs of water
Altruist: There's water if you're thirsty

Realist: the glass is full, containing 50% water and 50% air by volume.

Most of us: I'd rather have lemonade or iced tea

about me
I'm learning that play is more transformative than work, that games can be profitable in many ways, that the Universe still provides what we need, and we just need to recognize it.

And so much has happened….. let’s see…. We raised $50,000 for Unitas and microfinance loans at WIME, and are planning a whole bunch of launches over the next 6 months. Our company is virtual, continuous conversations with people in England, Miami, El Salvador, SoCal and the Midwest. We create buzz. I strategize and recognize patterns, [...]

So Yelp is a cool review site I discovered a few days ago - very useful for those in the cities it coversAlbuquerque isn’t one of them, yet - but it should be. I synchronistically discovered this event the next day. Some really cool art, and a very cool concept. They’ve got a t-shirt show at [...]
