Nearing The End?

After having written a book and blogged for nearly four years now, and found myself now to be much preoccupied with the reality of living with the world in its present precarious state, I really wonder how much more I have to say here. At what point has one proved their thesis [...]

Switching themes

For those who follow the small world of Surfing the Tao, my switch from Wordpress 2.1 to 2.7 went effortlessly but my theme does need updating. After some complaints about the difficulty of reading with the water background I believe I have found a good compromise. I hope this next incarnation to be [...]

Upgrading Wordpress – expect downtime

Aloha all, I am finally upgrading my Wordpress installation to 2.7.  I have been extremely delinquent in this task as I am still way back on 2.1.  So expect some downtime and weirdness here for a bit until it all gets settled.

May also see a new theme here depending on how it goes.  Been searching [...]

Twitter Tales

I have some friends here in Hawaii who, like many others on this remote and abundant island, choose to live unfettered by technology for the most part. They choose to live close to the earth, and close to each other, rather than close to a wireless signal. When you go to [...]

Links Added 1/11/09

Regardless of what various stats counters will tell you, it’s hard to really know how many people are reading this blog, and how many really use the resources here on my Favorite Links page. This long list of links reflects years of websurfing; I don’t necessarily agree with them all, but I [...]

Notes from the Surf IX

I’m not the only one here in Hawaii who found it strange that during the ‘hurricane’, satellite radar showed cloud cover when I looked outside and saw sunny skies. It has been the topic of conversation in town and I’m pretty convinced there was something going on there (HAARP, anyone?). Apparently Hurricane [...]

Thinking Blogger Award

While checking in on my favorite sites and blogs on my reader last night, I discovered that Richard over at A Quiet Watercourse had nominated me for a Thinking Blogger award. Thanks, Rich, for the generosity of spirit to add me to that list!! Richard’s thoughtful blog is always inspiring and [...]

Notes from the Surf V

My regular readers will notice I switched Wordpress themes.  The consensus around the house today was that Darkwater is easier on the eyes; plus I think the background fits in with Surfing the Tao quite nicely.  Any opinions, comments or issues, please let me know.

Great audio clip of Bill Hicks on the Elite who govern [...]

Notes from the Surf II

Wordpress users may know what I’m talking about when I say it’s always thrilling to find a great plugin. Here’s to Sean over at Geek with Laptop for making my Archives dream come true.

It turns out that the father-in-law of the man infected with a treatment-resistant strain of TB who got on an airplane [...]
