This week’s Sunday Scribbling is Time Machine. I missed last weeks, which was Passion. I was doing something I feel passionate about, so figure that counts!
If you had a time machine, how would you use it? Would you go back and change things? Don’t worry about the whole Star Trek time-space continuum [...]

Swamp monsters

While I was away becoming enlightened, John took Annie and Haley to the beach everyday. And if you have dogs, you know that once they have done something they like once, it is considered a tradition. So the day I got home, we all went back to the beach, so the two swamp [...]

My meditation retreat is over. It was an excellent combination of sitting meditation, walking meditation and dharma talk. It was my first retreat, so being in silence in a big bunch of other people was slightly intimidating at first, but also protective, since it removed any social anxiety I had.
It was quite an [...]

Vancouver bound
Posted in Vancouver, meditation, thesis, travel, vipassana on February 22, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Hello from sunny Vancouver! I came over a couple of days ago, to do some thesis research and to attend a meditation retreat. Given my state of mind, my need to get past/through/over my thesis writing barriers and the general benefits I have found in meditation practice, I think it is about time [...]

I have been writing web pages for a while now, at least 10 years. I never really got into the “get more people to your site” hype. I put in words that were relevant in my code and that was it. Read it, don’t read it. I used to get [...]

Is that what stops divorce? Having sex everyday for a month? Aren’t you glad that someone figured out how to save marriages? Who knew it was just one little thing. You might say it is a little simplistic, but not me. Oh, no! I believe all complex, multi factorial problems [...]

Yes, we all know that it is a good idea to keep blood glucose levels stable. There are lots of reasons, and many of them are related to long term complications. Sometimes caring about those long term, possible negative consequences can take the back seat to a temptation that is right in front [...]

Valentine’s Day!

Okay, I am not a big fan of “events” created by card companies. It is just not my thing. And I am not sure that I am much of a romantic. I do things when the mood strikes me, not because Hallmark wants to sell more dead trees. Soooo, no cards [...]
