Thanks for sharing your investment Pete. Sounds nice and simple compared to my interaction.

Isn't it interesting how we invest time and energy which then leads to attachment and ownership. It's certainly a habit, but a habit that sometimes has value and sometimes is a complete waste of time.

Thank you Kenley,

you wrote "... I’ve invested so much time and energy in creating these spaces." This too me sounds very familiar and a common pitfall for me (not saying its for you). Why ? Because sometimes I find myself just sticking with things/habits that cost me a lot of time/money/effort/courage whatever, but while this is human, i guess, it should not affect the way we look at things/habits, either they are useful, helpful, or not. Either we waste time on it or just toy around or not. This is not easy to really see, at least not for me :) Gassho & Thanks again

I mainly use FB and find it helpful to announce things I do not promote elsewhere, like the 12 Step Zen group since it is not appropriate to announce it at either 12 step meetings or our weekly Sangha. It's also been helpful recruiting new volunteers for the Prison Meditation Project since it facilitates cross pollination between many groups in my life. I occasionally put a blurb on Twitter of G+ but do not use them much.

Amazing indeed. It's streaming if you want to watch any of it.

I don't always have time to read blogs but when I read yours I always feel encouraged and renewed. Thank you.

Definitely sounds like a great conference. What a collection of people to listen to!

Yes, the Awakening the Heart title is next to me everyday and will be on the 2013 reading list as well.

It's good to know the Cloud Atlas title works after seeing the movie. I wanted to read the book before seeing the movie, which I did, and I loved knowing all the back stories and richness found in the book while watching the movie. They are a good compliment to each other.

i read these three

Awakening of the Heart: Essential Buddhist Sutras and Commentaries Thich Nhat Hanh 544 pages
Cloud Atlas David Mitchell, 509 pages
Healing: A woman's Journey Sister D.

both were very very good... I keep going back to the AWAKENING of the HEART.. to practice what we already know is my challenge today...

I saw the CLOUD ATLAS movie first.. and LOVED IT.. the book filled in the story very nicely.. but for whatever reason the ending did not have the emotional impact of the movie..

Sister D's story made quite an impact!!!

Posting the patron records from Banner into WMS is super easy and we do it on a regular basis. We still haven't fully automated the process but hope too in early 2013.

Thanks for sharing your Week 1 experience Kenley. We are going live next week at PCC while the library is closed for winter break. You gave us some things to think about, especially with Circ. Our camous is currently migrating to Banner as well and we will need to integrate fines and patronreports next year. How is your time pulling up patron records now?

Thanks Pat. I don't get anxious about too many things, but I'm definitely feeling it today.

Total fail. iOS 5.1 can't come soon enough. Sigh.

I had signed off FourSquare for quite some time, but then got pulled back in to test a few things. Probably time to release again.

Very true about the address book issue. I'd read that after closing the account. Hopeful Apple does resolve it in a future update to iOS. Either way it worked out for my goal of simplifying this year. Next networks to go are Gowalla and Foursquare. They are both fun, but I've found that they can be a distraction for me. Takes away from being present.
