Open Space Radio Interview — Tune In!

…Wednesday 2/4, 10am Pacific/12noon Chicago time… Andrew Geller’s People Rise Up radio show will be all about OpenSpaceTech. It will be broadcast live online and on Oregon community radio station KBOO-FM. Yours truly is the sole guest for the 30-minute show.

To listen to the live webcast, go to there a little early and download the streaming tool (free) they use. Andrew says it’s really quick and five minutes ahead should be plenty of time… unless you’re still dialing-up like I am (20 minutes early!). See you on the radio!

Start it forth, in Estonian!

My friend and colleague Mikk Sarv in Estonia sent this, with his thanks for my setting up an Estonian-language wiki web at OpenSpaceWorld.ORG, where we now have links to some OpenSpaceTech materials growing in 16 languages. That means quite a large percentage of humans can now begin to discover about this way of working and being in organization. Wow.

Mikk says this was sung by chief Visak-Vo-o-yim of Pima Indians or River People, O’odham from Arizona:

SONG OF THE WORLD

I make the world and lo!
The world is finished.
Thus I make the world, and lo!
The world is finished.
Let it go, let it go,
Let it go, start it forth!

He says it suits well also for wiki’s, and I think he’s right!

As you sow, so shall you reap?

…from the statement by Governor Marc Racicot, Chairman, Bush-Cheney `04, chastising John Kerry for his comments about the President’s National Guard service:

…A man seeking the presidency has an obligation to get the facts straight…
While just three days earlier, the Washington Post reported…
President Bush has agreed to support an independent inquiry into the prewar intelligence that he used to assert that Saddam Hussein was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction…

…David Kay, (former US chief weapons inspector in Iraq) who resigned his post nine days ago, testified Wednesday that “we were almost all wrong” about Iraq’s weapons programs. He said it was unlikely that stockpiles would be found in Iraq.

Six separate panels — the House and Senate intelligence committees, a CIA internal review team, the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, the newly refocused CIA-led Iraq Survey Group and an Army team — are already investigating the prewar intelligence process.

Try as I might to hold some middle ground this year, some days it’s just harder to be sympathetic and all this story making gets just too weird.

Deficit in Perspective

CS Monitor reporting 40 years of budget deficit data from the White House Office of Management and Budget. Curiosity led me to add color to their chart — red for Republican presidents and blue for Democratic presidents. Crude but interesting, I think.

Also noted… healthcare entitlement spending, projected to account for 9% of federal outlays in 2010, might reach 18% by 2050. Another good reason to stay healthy!
