not sure if it was the two advil, reading zen poetry, drinking herbal tea or taking a hot bath… but the horrible pain of monday is gone…
Field notes
went for a walk into a lovely autumn afternoon & did not take a digital camera to record the fact of what i did…
Field notes
watching a teaching on wisdom from mars hill…
Field notes
to run along the river on a lovely fall morning seems such a simple desire, yet unattainable this morning.
i’m not sure if it’s seasonally allergies or maybe i finally succumbed to the virus the rest of the household has been dealing with all week, but i don’t have the energy to run a few miles on such a beautiful day.

been thinking a lot about jack kerouac recently… his life… his work…

the only remedy for the loneliness of this job is taking lunch at the fiddlin pig… soon as i walk in the door she has a booth ready for me and he’s got a tall glass of coke waiting at the table… makes me think maybe i should wait table instead of working from this dark cave of an audio bunker…
Field notes
finished producing 120 minutes of audio capture (with various quality issues) in four days… in context, for every 2 minutes of final audio at least 1 hour of production goes into those 2 minutes… it’s been a long week in the audio bunker…
Want to Monetize the Web?
To monetize content requires a shift in thinking because one must move from sticking with the traditional push business model to accepting the web’s “pull” approach…. (via adage)
adage offers three ‘pull’ approaches:
- Use content to attract audiences
- Create a community to coalesce audiences
- Leverage the power of your community to drive revenue

two years in a row, edgy mama is featured in the least favorite feature of the mountain x… but edgy mama is in the top three for local bloggers… fickle readership? or poor survey questions?
America is not a Christian nation
America is no longer a Christian nation… that seems to be the top phrase for some politicians today, even with nearly 4 out of every 5 Americans claiming to be a Christian. And of course in Britain, Richard Dawkins helped support a wide-spread advertising campaign on buses, stating there’s “probably no God,” even though a recent census stated that nearly 70% of Britains claimed to be Christians.

poetry writing workshop tonight! drop ins welcomed… bring a notebook & pen… let’s do some poetry…
//
listening to ‘the path’ [mp3 podcast]… there’s some really tough stuff in there… i need to listen to it again… the last five to eight minutes hits me in the face like a cinder block…
Simpler Times
i could really use one of these tonight… or maybe two or three… where do i find simpler times around here?
malty: everydaydude: WORD. Simpler Times is the new Pabst. Drink a couple before the hipster kids claim it. joecarryon: Simpler Times: $3 for a six-pack @ Trader Joe’s. The beer is solid, but the price is unfuckwithable. Testify.

can’t wait to get off work… so i can start freelance work… & then plan for tomorrow night’s writing workshop…
what i learned on facebook today
‘we are one choice from together’
posted on a friend’s status made me say, ‘what the hell?’
found out it’s to some horribly written song lyrics… what? the songwriter couldn’t come up with something better that would rhyme with ‘tonight could last forever’… google it on youtube it and judge for yourself…
//
not my day for coffee drinks… first i spill a pumkin spice latte on my white dress shirt… then some pikes peak coffee on my pants…
//
my flight consisted of two recordings of a teaching on ephesians… ‘it’s not about you’ keeps echoing through my headphones… even after i put the headphones away & realize i’m better than i deserve to be… it’s still not about me…
//
A guy walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm and says, “A beer please, and one for the road.”
//
i hate it when i confuse social media platforms & post something on facebook that was supposed to be on twitter without aggregating it to tumblr & wordpress & blogger is so 2004 but people still use it…
//
ok, second airport actually has some decent jazz music piped into the terminals… can’t make it out, but it sounds like either woody shaw or warren vaché…
//
why is that airports have such sterile sounding jazz playing from the terminal soundsystem?
//
thanks for the lunch suggestions… i found 2 apples & coffee for less than $0.75…
language matters… language is not merely descriptive. it’s creative.
//
i’m down to $0.75. what can i get for lunch with $0.75?
