Stop it!

-

Everybody's talking about it. Everybody. But to tell the truth, hearing about it is getting as tiring as that other piece of "news". And when Joy of Tech does three jokes in a row about it, I've had enough. There is no where to turn where it's not mentioned. Even iTunes is out in a new version solely so I can sync to it. And the darned thing may not even work in Norway when it finally gets here sometime in October. So can we talk about something else, please?

the fact that Jobs chose ATT (in spite of how gawd-awful ATT is) makes it a non-starter.

But it is pretty!

Since there is no AT&T in Europe, that's point's both moot and essential. It makes launching the iPhone in Europe more difficult. I'm starting to think the iPhone will just be a really cool iPod. :-)

Oh, but I want one, yes I do. Unfortunately I'm with Verizon, so iPhone for Jeff right now. But he wants one. Oh, yes he does.

I remember that originally I'd heard that Jobs was going with Cingular - which would've worked for me.. though I can't see dumping the Razr after only a couple of years.

Eventually? I might get one. But they'd have to have integrated all the stuff I use on my PPC, and work with someone other than ATT.

I'm getting that reaction I usually get when Everybody Else Does or Wants Something: I refuse to join in. Which is also why you won't find me on Facebook.

I love you. Thank you.

Some time last month, I was listening to a new spiritual podcast, and the speaker said that we can all heal ourselves and each other by stating, "I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you." Apparently, this series of four short statements healed all the patients of a psychiatric facility, simply by being uttered by a doctor while he was looking at the patient files. I was intrigued. So I googled the phrase and discovered it comes from a Hawaiian spiritual ritual called ho'oponopono .* I found a blogpost that described this "cleaning" process. I found an online article claiming that you can heal the whole planet with ho'oponopono because everything that comes into your sphere of experience is your responsibility.** I searched Amazon for books describing ho'oponopono. I bought Mable Katz 's book "The Easiest Way" .*** And her title may not be an exaggeration. After reading her short book, I have replaced my usual rit...

The ho'oponopono adventure continues

Ever since I discovered the ho'oponopono practice of forgiveness and healing about 3 years ago , I have used it, pursued it, and experienced healings big and small. I have taught it to a few friends. To my delight, they have embraced it and discovered for themselves the instant peace that comes with cleaning (as using ho'oponopono is called; you are cleaning your subconscious of unhelpful beliefs). My friend Alice showed me this picture she took from her hotel window in London: Every morning, I started my day by looking out that window. ILY, ILY, ILY. It was a beautiful way to start the morning. Every day, I felt the embrace of the city and I'd like to think that the city felt my ILYs. We certainly had nothing but pleasant interactions with people (and in fact, a few times, we had people offer unsolicited help!). I responded to her with this: The ho'oponopono "trick" of repeating to yourself "I love you" when in a negative situation really...

Getting my beliefs challenged

I own the extended DVD set of "What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?" , also known as "Down the Rabbit Hole". I can't remember now how my browsing the internet today started, but I ended up learning a lot about the science in "What the Bleep": It's terribly inaccurate. There are other inaccuracies or downright errors, but for the most part quantum mechanics only work on quantum levels, not at sizes like a basketball or a universe or even a mere atom. And that spoils all New Age claims that it is quantum physics that explain the Law of Attraction or any other woo-woo belief, like spontaneous healing, psychic phenomenon or near-death experiences. Dang. I was so hoping science could explain these things by now. My surfing has brought me to The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry . There I have found good writing, and proper skepticism. Not the finger-pointing pooh-poohing of beliefs, but rather a behind-the-scenes look at some claims and what's factually ...
