“#tds1474 Au contraire https://t.co/OOYzjzo3TD”
Interesting, yesterday my phone was not to hand in my left pocket but jammed in my right stuck on my selfie stick. Surprised at how often my hand twitched to look at a map, the time or to take a snap. Often reason was not strong enough to extract from the right pocket.
“HAVE A GO WITH THIS! Paint me a picture with this drawing app I'm working on. You can load a pic to "trace" the outline, and if you tap the comma or full stop keys, the canvas "slides"... Oh, and the plus and minus keys make the lines change weight. https://t.co/JqLVx5xlDl”
easier with a mouse than mobile for me.
“#clmooc Feldgang - picture collage, from a woods walk, of rocks and boulders, all slightly turned over: bugs, worms, strange roots, holes, eggs … all sorts of weird cool stuff. How about you? What will you find?”
I am finding the #clmooc Feldgang fascinating, feels like my life is a Feldgang.
I am playing with the flickrAPI…

A WIP, couple of examples:
Aaron Davis (collect.readwriterespond.com)In this extract from McMindfulness, Ronald Purser argues that paying closer attention on the present is not revolutionary, but rather magical thinking on steroids. Stripped of spirituality and ethics, mindfulness is nothing more than concentration training. Sadly, it becomes something another commod...
Thanks for this Aaron, a great read, with many great quotes, my fave:
Perhaps the most straightforward definition of neoliberalism comes from the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, who calls it “a programme for destroying collective structures that may impede the pure market logic”.
The whole thing might be harsh to mindfulness practitioners who are very socially engaged, but the parallels with environmental problems and solutions is powerful.
NB: Engaged Buddhism
Aaron Davis (collect.readwriterespond.com)I wonder what the outcome would be if the design process started with sustainability and developed from there?
Aaron, That would be wonderful, but I’d guess not good for Apple, or many other tech companies in the short term.
I knee-jerking a response here, I’ve used macs since my first computer in 1995.
Macs have been more sustainable for me than PCs for most folk I know. I don’t get a new one often and they have lasted me a long time.
I dislike the barriers to geekiness that are developing everywhere, both in hardware and, of more import to me, software. It seems harder to play around in an amateur way. Security stops scripts from less professional folk from working. Web APIs move out of reach or are shut down. (I exempt Flickrand OpenSteetMaps). I’d like to see more sustainability there too. Probably not going to.
Greg McVerry (Quick Thoughts)@johnjohnston getting mad love in the #IndieWeb summit for all of his Flickr tools as we think about making trip tracking posts.
Thanks Greg, I presume the walkmaps. I have hope to build different views of these and eventually to bring them into WordPress in someway. What I like about flickr is that its API is easy for amateurs to play with. Amazing resource.
If you read this blog, I am curious to see what other blogs you read / bloggers you follow. Do you publish your list of feeds somewhere, as a page, or as a OPML file? If not, would you be willing to send me an opml export from your feedreader? If not, can you post or comment your five recommended bl...
Ton, you might be interested in feedBase Dave Winers site for folk to share list of feeds. FWIW mine is johnjohnston’s subs. I’ve not put all the blogs I read in there but testing a selection.
“Here's a joyful blog. "It is a pretty wonderful school: with teachers and staff that foster a happy, nurturing, stimulating learning environment for the children and provide learning experiences that are inspiring and enduring." Thanks Alastair. https://t.co/ZRP4oAZdlH”
The linked post Bushcraft Week with Thornlie Primary – Aspen Outdoors Ltd is great. Often folk working with schools post the nice photos but this one has some great activities spelt out too.
