Trying Mozilla 1.7
As part of my effort to get away from Microsoft, I have downloaded Mozilla and am trying the Web page creator. It’s part of my effort to get my life and environment in order. To get my tools in order.
I have felt overwhelmed… just walking around the condominium can give me a headache, seeing all the things that are broken or need attention. What if I were to ease off gardening (theoretical gardening) and spend more time on actual cleanup and getting things in order?
Small steps in secret
An acronym — SSS — for Small Steps in Secret. I think this is the way for me to proceed:
- Plot your own personal satisfaction, rather than working for abstract ideals or to satisfy a group.
- Slowly make connection with the community.
- Work from your center outward. Start with the things you do frequently, with those that give you great. Get those things in order, then move outward to things you have not done much or with which you are less familiar.
Perhaps I can write a paper on this strategy.
Bill McKibben strikes back
On the Orion website I found a hard-hitting video talk by Bill McKibben. On the same site was a piece by James Howard Kunstler, a rant about the Cargo Cult mentality of modern America. The pieces encouraged me — made me feel my path was not so isolated.
