consume

i suppose i can throw out some more philosophies to you all. i found this video from the Get Rich Slowly blog (which is usually quite a good read, you should check it out here).

anyway, here is some lovely filming that hopefully makes us all think a bit. i know i've been in this trap often & for many years. may we all find escape.

what's a twitter?

yes, i succumbed to another form of social media.
twitter.
not quite sure how to make it work with all the other stuff like the blogs, facebook, etc.
but, i'm working on it.
the twitter part is easy, it's just finding other people to twit to.
and making it work on my phone.
and do i want to make it work on my phone?

i've spent many hours behind this screen today.
time to be done.

am i a twit?

an addition to my post about communication

The Paradox of Our Age

We have bigger houses but smaller families;
more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees, but less sense;
more knowledge, but less judgement;
more medicines, but less healthiness.
We've been all the way to the Moon and back,
but we have trouble crossing the street to meet the
new neighbours.
We have built more computers to hold more
information,
to produce more copies than ever,
but we have less communication.
We have become long on quantitiy,
but short on quality.
These are the times of fast foods but slow digestion;
tall man but short character;
steep profits but shallow relationships.
It is a time when there is much in the window,
but nothing in the room.
