Testing AboutUs Embedded Profiles Widget

The Legend of the GiantLotus

Further testing of netcasting. I added an image to this audio file in GarageBand before exporting. Let’s see how it works. This file is an AboutUs.org legend, demonstrating one of our core values.

Ted’s Podcast #4: We’re in iTunes!

This podcast is a review of all I’ve learned so far, including the fact that we’re now in iTunes! Here’s a link: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=302756299

I still have to figure out why the player looks so weird here in the blog, and why the podcast doesn’t have an image after I subscribe to it, either in iTunes, or on my iPhone. Fun, fun, fun!

Ted’s Podcast #3: What I’ve learned about podcasting so far

It appears there is a 24 hour delay before iTunes will recognize a podcast in a feed. In that first 24 hours, when I tried to add my podcast feed to iTunes, it said there were no episodes in the feed, but after that 24 hours, it said it accepted my application and that it might be reviewed before being added. So we’ll see. This podcast is everything I’ve learned so far.

Ted’s Podcast #2

Still working on testing. Thanks John for the comment!. I still haven’t figured out how to get my feed into iTunes. Maybe there’s a delay and this will work tomorrow. We’ll see.

Ted’s Podcast #1

This is only a test. I recorded my voice using my USB mic and GarageBand. I want to see how podPress works with WordPress and iTunes. This is only a test.

Steve Miller for US Congress, 7th District of Illinois

Steve Miller is someone I know and trust.

His #1 issue is to bring transparency to Washington. Article 1, Section 9 of the US Constitution says: “… a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.”  Steve Miller intends to serve for only two years in Washington, and to work tirelessly to mandate that all federal bank account check registers be published online and available all the time.  That’s why I donated to his campaign.  This is not a partisan issue (Steve is running on the Republican ticket with no support from the party.  He also happens to be a life-long Republican though is in no way is a politician.).  If you support the idea of knowing where your tax money is going, please consider donating any amount, $5, $10, $20 (I gave Steve $100).

Free Geek Chicago

At Michael’s urging, I’d love to share this video from Free Geek Chicago, except I can’t get the video to show up here, so head over to Michael’s post and watch it there. :-)

Possibilities

Today I am amazed by the new possibilities I am inventing for my future (not a tomorrow kind of future, but a today kind of future.  I’d love to tell you about it.  Give me a call or email me your number and I’ll call you.

Silo’s Message – The Book (VI. Sleep and Awakening)

I have read Silo’s Message many times, mostly in pieces. After a long time lapse, I continue publishing it here, in it’s entirely. The message is in 3 parts, The Book, The Experience and the Path. Today is chapter six of The Book.

VI. Sleep and Awakening
The fourth day.

  1. I cannot take as real what I see in my dreams, nor what I see in semi-sleep, nor what I see when I am awake but in reverie.
  2. I can take as real what I see when I am awake and without reveries. Here I am not speaking of what my senses register, since naive and dubious “data” can arrive from my external and internal senses as well as from my memory. Rather, I am speaking of the activities of my mind as they relate to the “data” being thought. What is valid is that when my mind is awake it “knows” and when it is asleep it “believes.” Only rarely do I perceive reality in a new way, and it is then that I realize that what I normally see resembles sleep or semi-sleep.

There is a real way of being awake, and it has led me to meditate profoundly on all that has been said so far. It has, moreover, opened the door for me to discover the meaning of all that exists.
