I’m feeling snowed under. Aside from some recreational reading (C.J. Sansom at the moment), some long-time head-scratching (Les oeuvres compl\u00e8tes de Camus, \u00c9ditions de la Pl\u00e9\u00efade) and the usual daily read-around on the Net, there are particular bits of interest that keep popping up and fighting for time in the midst of family considerations, gardening (indoors, thus far, mostly) and playing a little music on the side.<\/p>\n

An e-mail from the Post Carbon Institute<\/a> sent me off to this<\/a> (you’ll need to leave a name and valid e-mail address) on an emerging aspect of the transformation that will be necessary for humanity to progress and thrive. Bring it on!<\/p>\n

A regular read-around site is the Blog Borg Collective who posted a piece \u00a0by Robin Matthews,<\/a> a veteran of the Bas, Bas and Virk BC Rail slog. And now I see they’ve added a bit about Andrew Wilkinson and his wacky period of renting. OK, I can do that.<\/p>\n

Then Facebook, I think via the South Africa Food Tank group, coughs up something like this<\/a>, a likely way to kill off another hour or so, at least. Hmmm.<\/p>\n

Let’s add this<\/a> to the pile, via a friend and further to a discussion relating to Transitions Health Check.<\/p>\n

I get notes from Corey Robin about interesting discussions around and about intellectuals in places somewhat more steeped in intellectual activity than my present abode. So this<\/a> appeared this morning. I’m not sure I want to spend the morning with Friedrich Hayek, but the perspective is important.<\/p>\n

There were a couple of articles on The Tyee<\/a> this morning more than worthy of reading in depth (my call).<\/p>\n

And then there are volumes of Youtube video discussions along these lines<\/a> to add to the heap.<\/p>\n

Have you ever felt like a gum-chewing teen standing on the threshold of an outlet mall?<\/p>\n

Is a pattern emerging? The bad news is that there is so much commentary because there is such a litany of misdeeds and malfeasance in all levels of society and in almost all areas of endeavour. The good news is that there are so many people concerned enough for the welfare of other people and that of society in general to run down the stories and to put them in front of those who will listen.<\/p>\n

Sadly, there just isn’t time to do it all. Please consider taking up the task and supporting those already hard at work correcting what ails us.<\/p>\n

Now I had better get after all this good stuff.<\/p>\n
