Morning Orientation
The Elevator Tarot says Life and Death: The first person out of the elevator was an attractive young woman carrying a vase of flowers and smiling. The second person was an older, white-haired man carrying on a cell-phone conversation: "There's a crypt. They put him in a crypt." He was smiling too.
Spiral Dynamics: Don Beck’s Spiral Dynamics Confab is brilliant (even if the article's web page design is eye-wrenching). I don't know if there was intentional borrowing from Dr. Leary's eight stages of development, but it seems to be along a similar track. I need to ponder this more, it might be worth getting the textbook. Might need to pick up Radical Middle too. And then tell them to hire a web designer.
Link to Links: Political Theory Daily Review has become one of my favorite browsing points. I should probably finish that degree when I get a chance.
Heigh Ho: I'm reminded once again that I really ought to consider getting some kind of employment that lets me use my superpowers for good. It probably won't be in the consumer products industry. I'm starting to associate fluorescent lighting with places I don't belong.
Digging the Undercrypt: Signed up with DreamHost, and I'm pretty impressed with them so far. A year of web hosting for all of my domains, with very generous space and bandwidth and functionality, is costing less than what my current web host wanted just to turn on an e-mail spam filter. Now I need to move everything over and then design the new site. I think I have everything I need for business cards now, too. Need to sort that list next. And then the music list.
People are People: Reflecting on the past few weekends, I'm probably a closer fit to the OTO crowd than the Festival crowd, in terms of being able to relate to a percentage of the population and fitting in. Interesting.
"Without an understanding of myth or religion, without an understanding of the relationship between destruction and creation, death and rebirth, the individual suffers the mysteries of life as meaningless mayhem alone."
