scent of a hubris

excuse my delayed response as i suffer from inclinations of or related to avoidance.
i've just been so busy returning books that i don't read to the library and smoking tobacco and so on and so on.
i suppose the most inviting approach, one that will serve well until refinements are in order, is to just transcribe relevant notes from dips and dabbles in to topics of interest. if there is interest in collaborating ideas via question or addendum, comments section of post can be used. i will certainly make efforts to do so for others. i'm unsure of the level of interest by those who attended that chance sunday in february. (myself included)
i'm fairly excited and predict much benefits. though no pressure.

it will be interesting to interpret or rather explore everyone's note taking, questioning, reckoning styles.

i'm not much on formatting rituals or consistency of design but am interested in establishing definitions for certain terms if they are to be used enough.

if we wanted to meet physically again as a whole or available fews i can offer my house, which is nice, and conducive to such activities. also parks and parking lots.
they're not mine to offer but i'm sure "the man" would not mind

Invitation

Dear Think-Partiers,

Thank you for your contributions.

Please share your thoughts on the future of the Think Party. This blog is not so I can monologue.

What has been posted is merely a starting point for discussion. What is your vision for the Think Party?

Things I cited on Sunday, Feb. 8

I mentioned three things from recent news stories I had read.

I also mentioned E.F. Schumacher's Small is Beautiful, which I recommend highly.

Think Party Blog

Someone mentioned making a wiki, but I don't know how to do that.

I e-mailed Amanda some URLs for stuff I mentioned, but I thought that having a public forum would be easier than asking Amanda to forward everything.

If you want to post, e-mail me, and I'll add you to the list of authors. I'm not sure of the details of making this accessible to others; I'm no techie.

If you have information accessible on the internet that you wanted to share with Amanda's Think Party, this would be a place to do it until there is a wiki.
