Turn of the Phase: Wisdom Jam Afterflow with Ward Cunningham + Potpourri ‘23
by charles blass
HNY & goodness to all <3
a few things, potpourri upon the turn of the phase:
excited to share Part 2 (aka Afterflow) of the Wisdom Gardening Jam (November 1st), now up, featuring extended forays with Ward Cunningham and friends from Kernel & the Cicosphere (more context in November’s Plex CoDebrief), yielded deep insights into Doug Engelbart & early days of networked computing, roots and future of Wiki, indigenous protocols, and more
Musings on the passage of time included this New Year’s Day message from Gien Wong in the CICOLAB Telegram channel: “Today the calendar rolls over to a new year! Yet, at the same time, it has only advanced another day. And at the same time, have we ever left the present moment? We can't change ourselves, the conditions of our lives or of the world overnight, but we can take the opportunity to reflect on the period of 365 days that have just passed us by, take stock, and reflect on what we can do to make our next moments alive more meaning-full, more joy-full, more wonder-full, more beauty-full, more peace-full, more bliss-full. For we are the architects of our future, and our imagination is our greatest tool.”
(my response) “every day the pages flip…. time to take stock of our calendars…! which ones are useful, meaningful, when/where/how ?! and why, how do we consider the sources and purposes of such structures, institutions ?”
updates & invitations en route from Noonet, as we start to organize a Consortium for Portable Communities….
my new favorite word, Pareidolia, discovered in an interesting piece on the recently discovered train tracks on Mars
Other stuff rocking my world lately:
How Europe Stole Africa (so quickly) dizzying, map-driven, ruthless account of a dizzying, map-driven, ruthless scenario by Johnny Harris (Sources)
more contemporary exponential, multi-dimensional colonialism courtesy a marvelous, dank exegesis of Meta’s Super Bowl commercial plus Whitney Webb…Woww
and, in contrast to colonialism: a** Swiss bunkers** lens on ”re-examining neutrality in a changing world”… (Johnny Harris rocks) “dig!”
