The insanity

March 31, 2005 By Chris Uncategorized

On the day after the Millenium Ecosystem Assessment is released I stumble across this quote in an intersting passion play about Terry Sciavo: “When you narrow down your epistemology and act on the premise ‘What interests me is me, or my organization, or my species,’ you chop off consideration of other loops [of the ecosystem]. You decide that you want to get rid of the by-products of human life and that Lake Erie will be a good place to put them. You forget that the eco-mental system called Lake Erie is part of your eco-mental system — and that if …

The Parking Lot soundtrack

March 31, 2005 By Chris Corrigan Music, Uncategorized One Comment

As a musician one of my favourite things about the web is the way we can trade music on it. I am a music junky and with the rise of file sharing technology, my ears have opened wide at what is out there. I’ve been toying around with Webjay for a while, which is a way of compiling playlists of music all of which, in my case, is offered free and legally by artists, record labels and others. I have two playlists in the “Little Projects” section to the left, one which is a small collection of Canadian songs and …

Learning from how things really are

March 31, 2005 By Chris Uncategorized

I was on a Skype call this morning with my friend Peggy Holman and we were noodling through the agenda for the summit I’m doing in May. Peggy and I are NOT linear conversationalists, and so whenever we talk we get into really delightful eddies and currents that do nothing to enhance our current productivity but which do make us better friends… At any rate, we got talking about how the emergent process we use, like Appreciative Inquiry and Open Space and so on work well because they are based on how we human beings actually relate to and work …

Linkage

March 30, 2005 By Chris Uncategorized

Everyday I troll a bunch of the blogs to the left and there is so much good stuff that I want to share and log here for later, that I’m just going to start publishing these excerpts, if you don’t mind. I realize that this may be a little redundant, republishing links and quotes without adding anything, but this stuff stands on it’s own, and besides, I might just come back to it at some point. So here you are with the latest batch: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Revolution: “The last class I took before I went out on …

First draft of my summit design

March 29, 2005 By Chris Uncategorized

The work continues apace on the design of the community summit on youth suicide. I have completed a sketch of the summit agenda which will bear much more fleshing out, but it has been a terrific challenge trying to work with all the ideas of all my conversational partners at the global water cooler and fit these into a short day. At any rate, here’s what I’ve got so far (.doc). If you’re still interested in contributing thinking to this, I’m looking for some really good questions (I have a few in mind which I’ll post soon) and also how …
