bricks and bridges
sometimes to Love is not enough in a relationship,
but a relationship is never the reason to Love someone..
Love was there to build, and Love somehow survives when walls fall down
..and for every brick that has fallen, Love finds a piece to build bridges, piece by piece, even as tears serve as mortar to bind the pieces together

Authors@Google: Clay Shirky
really interesting
The author of the breakout hit Here Comes Everybody reveals how new technology is changing us from consumers to collaborators, unleashing a torrent of creative production that will transform our world. For decades, technology encouraged people to squander their time and intellect as passive consumers. Today, tech has finally caught up with human potential.
In Cognitive Surplus, internet guru Clay Shirky forecasts the thrilling changes we will all enjoy as new digital technology puts our untapped resources of talent and goodwill to use at last.
In Cognitive Surplus, internet guru Clay Shirky forecasts the thrilling changes we will all enjoy as new digital technology puts our untapped resources of talent and goodwill to use at last.
Since we Americans were suburbanized and educated by the postwar boom, we've had a surfeit of intellect, energy, and time-what Shirky calls a cognitive surplus. But this abundance had little impact on the common good because
television consumed the lion's share of it-and we consume TV passively, in isolation from one another. Now, for the first time, people are embracing new media that allow us to pool our efforts at vanishingly low cost. The results of this aggregated effort range from mind expanding-reference tools like Wikipedia-to lifesaving-such as Ushahidi.com, which has allowed Kenyans to sidestep government censorship and report on acts of violence in real time.
Clay Shirky teaches at the Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU, where he researches the interrelated effects of our social and technological networks. He has consulted with a variety of groups working on network design, including Nokia, the BBC, Newscorp, Microsoft, BP, Global Business Network, the Library of Congress, the US Navy, the Libyan government, and Lego. His writings have appeared in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Times of London, Harvard Business Review, Business 2.0, and Wired.

" Thanks, all! Ryan, FVR wrote me back to say that he was "hurt" that I had gone public with my letter and that my opinion was very important to him. So I wrote back explaining why I felt I had to do so. I apologized again for having inadvertently hurt him while standing my ground on the questions I had raised, pointing out that he had not exactly answered them yet... After that, we wrote each other several more times to make peace and he eventually sent me a giant box of materials to read, which I am now going through.
In the meantime, he has decided not to make any endorsements until March of next year... He tends to believe that candidates "implode" if u just give them a little time, so I'm sure he's watching and waiting to see who will do what. Already there have been some minor implosions anyway... That said, obviously I would be much happier if he took a stance once and for all...
Feel free to re-post, Bart! "

mistakes and disaster, SAD
“When man makes mistakes, they call it evil.
When God makes mistakes, they call it nature”.
That’s according to Jack Nicholson’s character in the 1987 film Witches of Eastwick. And when a typhoon struck down a huge tree in my neighborhood in Manila in the 1990’s, I uttered the same line to my landlord. He thought it was original. (I take it he never saw the movie).
So, were last month’s typhoons in the Philippines man’s or God’s mistakes? They had Pinoy names. What do you think?
Ondoy and Pepeng (internationally known Ketsana and Parma, respectively) were no God’s mistakes. They were ingredients for a perfect disaster.,
I was actually home in the Negros island, one of the middle islands (sounds like Lord of the Ring’s Middle Earth) of the Philippines when Ondoy made landfall on September 26, 2009, and we thought it was going to be just another typical typhoon: dark skies, heavy rains, a little flooding here and there. And that’s it. A few things would get wet, the flooding would go down, and the sun would be out the next day!
But we were wrong! Nobody – the people, the government, and not even the national weather bureau – got it right! And while we were getting the usual downpours in the south of the country, we didn’t know at that time, that people were already struggling to save themselves and their homes in certain parts of Manila and Luzon from the flash floods that even reached the second storey of their houses! And while everyone else was watching the breaking news on TV, we were actually watching a perfect disaster in the making.
And it was. A perfect disaster.
From the primitive weather forecasting equipment, to poor urban planning, poor and undisciplined garbage disposal, poor metropolitan drainage system. Let’s throw in corruption, relentless mining, illegal logging, carelessness and indifference. All these sound like man’s mistakes, and the two typhoons just completed the picture.
This is what we get when we run out of luck. Nature makes sure we don’t have all the fun.

Have we learned?
* * * * * *
On my flight back to Manila (from Negros), I asked for a window seat so that I can take photos of the flooded areas from above. Though not as dramatic as those photos of the floods in the news, I saw for myself the consequence of man’s mistakes. This was the worst flooding in Manila in 40 years. We cannot blame nature; we can only blame ourselves. And if we survived this disaster, the next Ondoy and Pepeng will make sure we don’t.
