sCNN – The small Change News Network

September 19, 2004 By Chris Uncategorized

Just flying between facilitation gigs. Vancouver Island one day, Ottawa the next with just a breath to catch at home. While I’m here I caught some changes to Michael Herman’s project at the Giving Market. He has created sCNN – The small Change News Network: “The small Change News Network is for connecting all kinds of small gifts and donations, news of small successes, plans for small improvements, and Little Individual doers in ways that can make a big difference. sCNN invites Active Citizens to share their personal passion, unique gifts, spare time, financial resources, community connections, life skills and …

Help create the impossible sky

September 17, 2004 By Chris Uncategorized

I received an email from Galen Scorer today through his sister Tiffany, a friend of mine.

Know it and then forget it

September 16, 2004 By Chris Uncategorized

I always say this when he finds a quote that resonates with me. Good old whiskey river: Read carefully, then don’t read; work hard, then forget about it; know your tradition, then liberate yourself from it; learn language, then free yourself from it. Finally, know at least one form of magic. – Gary Snyder WR has been on a bit of a “quotes about writing” tear at the moment. It’s worth perusing his recent entries if that sort of thing interests you.

Beware Io Dust: the cutest moon in the solar system

September 14, 2004 By Chris Uncategorized

There is something in this story that endears me to Io, Jupiter’s spitting moon. I think it’s in the tagline: “Beware: Io Dust. Jupiter’s moon Io is shooting tiny volcanic bullets at passing spacecraft.” Apparently Io’s volcanos are erupting all the time, shooting streams of dust into the solar system. These streams get picked up by Jupiter’s gravity and accelerate to around 300km/s which is pretty durn fast. If you happen to be a spaceship passing by, you get pelted by high speed smoke. It’s an elegant defense for our solar system’s gas giant, even if its not terribly effective.
