Big money influences congress far more than the public, and The People have lost our republic.

Thanks for the encouragement, Carl! I agree, the Internet can be a powerful tool for bravery and openness. I hope you read my previous comment about the profound trip I had. The truth is, I probably wouldn't be alive today if it weren't for that trip and the Internet. Connecting with bravery, inspiration, and knowledge online got me through some of my darkest times and helped me learn a lot about the world outside of the "Bible Belt" despite being trapped there as a youth.

Thank you Glisten! Your words of support help give me strength to continue the healing journey… I think it's important to note that the choice to take either the path of self destruction or the path of self compassion isn't much of a choice for many. We've only recently seen good brain science on trauma and the implications of quite illuminating. If I'm correct, trauma and stress alter the brain on a structural level making it a life long battle to rebuild synapses and reprogram ones brain through healing experiences which many people never have opportunity to access. I'm lucky. When I was 19 and drowning in pain and self destruction I was given I fairly large dose of LSD and during the course of that long trip began the cathartic and arduous task of unpacking the repressed abuse and deconstructing it's contribution to my life path. I started developing my inner voice of self compassion that night vividly remember the dialogue with myself where I basically gave myself therapy and charted the path out of that downward spiral and towards truth, hope, and healing. That was a pivotal night and I think LSD probably saved my life. I hope that psychedelic research continues and we find a way to get all who stand to benefit safe legal access one day. It is a powerful tool, not to be taken lightly, but can work miracles.

Re: Hypervideo and the “Temporal Web”

John Love — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 02:17:20 -0000

I love everything about this post. Great thoughts here! One of my favorites: "The “temporal web” could turn us all into futurists by baking tools of strategic foresight into the core experience of the web." That's exactly what I thought when I saw Zoetrope! I hope the fine folks at Mozilla are listening and take Webmaker in this direction.

Contemplating how this will effect the T in STEM compression, and also thinking Robert Levine will need to revise his book "A Geography of Time: The Temporal Misadventures of a Social Psychologist." http://amzn.com/0465026427 Or the crowd will just remix it with Popcorn and call it a day...

Great Popcorn video Lyre! I played with Popcorn Maker just a couple of weeks ago and was stoked to see such progress. I remember being at the Open Video Conference last year when ideas were buzzing around for the potential for Popcorn, but it was still really new and immature. So excited this stuff is finally taking off!

Second the request for a PDF, pretty please.

Re: Web Browsers and Web Weavers

John Love — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 02:17:28 -0000

Excellent post, Captain! The Web Weaver sounds like exactly what is needed to put users back in control of their data on the web, and Mozilla certainly has a foot in the right direction with "Personas." Regarding storage, a decentralized p2p solution would be rad!

For those desiring further illustration of just how much the web is changing with HTML5 and how Mozilla has been fighting to keep it open, check out Christian Heilmann's talk, "The Web is the Platform," given at March 24th Mozilla Developer Network Hack Day at in NYC: http://christianheilmann.co...

"better range and throughput," and better security too, I'm guessing.

Re: - This is going to be BIG! - Looking to buy a new road bike

John Love — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 13:14:09 -0000

Get a cyclocross bike, I think you'll appreciate the versatility. Check out the Specialized Tricross Comp: http://www.specialized.com/... or the Tricross Sport: http://www.specialized.com/...

I have the Tricross Sport. It's fast, light, and tough as nails. I love it.
