Lean Logic

Great to see this online. When I first read & reviewed #LeanLogic I had a few misgivings, but it's a book that's stayed with me & influenced me. Original, strange & enriching thought - recommended!@DarkOptimism @LeanDictionary https://t.co/skpjh9vimv

FBN Changes

“Given we’re only at 14,000 member farmers and there’s two million farmers in the markets that we’re playing in, there’s a long way to go. By removing the paywall we think we have a better shot at showing that broader audience.”https://t.co/Rart4aMFsn

A New Website

Peter Haworth introduces "a new website that explores Liberty, Prudence, Imperfection, and Law": Nomocracy In Politics - the homepage

A response from an editor at The Oil Drum to the Forbes article. He affirms:

They noted that repetition of the basic information, beyond a certain point, was counter-productive. So it is with the Peak Oil story. The facts, in neither case, change, but the amount of new information while accumulating (vide the superb work that Leanan has done with Drumbeat over the years) is often repetitive or confirmatory of earlier stories and thus harder to turn into interesting and exciting new material. There are developing stories that justify continued interest in the topic, but the slow pace with which some of the stories unfold make it difficult to sustain interest.

I would agree with this assessment. He ends:

And with that off my chest I will return to writing about the evolving problems. My hope at the founding of TOD was that it would chronicle the events through the Peak, it got to nearly the Peak, though I don’t anticipate that this will be a pleasant story beyond that point. But, that coverage will now shift to being only at a new location at a time chosen by the TOD editors.

The Oil Drum is shutting down. But older posts will still be available as an archive. What more can be said at this point, other than refutations of those who continue to attempt to debunk peak oil? What we should be doing, and should have started doing, is transition away from a fossil fuel-dependent economy. But we love our luxuries.

A Bit Political

Harold Thomas's latest endeavor:

A Bit Political is the first non-partisan “political portal.” It’s designed to give busy Americans the information, resources, and encouragement they need to get more involved politically. In other words, A Bit Political is here to help you find your voice and fight for the cause(s) you believe in. We’ll show you how to make the biggest difference in the smallest amount of time – with the least amount of effort.

In other words, A Bit Political is the go-to place for Americans who want to:

1. Fight for the causes(s) that have a direct impact on themselves and those closest to them and/or
2. Make their city, state, and/or country a better place for everyone

Solidarity Hall

New website for CST and such, started by various people, including those associated with Respublica America. Currently there is a feature on Ivan Illich. Some of the contributors think like ex-Democrats; I hope it will become better than VN in that regard.

More Early Music in the Bay Area

Learned about the existence of the San Francisco Renaissance Voices through the FB page for the Berkeley Festival and Exhibition not too long ago...

Coming up on June 9:

June 9, 2010 - 8:00 pm
Berkeley Festival & Exhibition of Early Music
St. John's Presbyterian, 2727 College Avenue, Berkeley
The Renaissance drinking song L’homme Arme’ (The Armed Man) has served as the
basis for more masses than any other tune in history. We perform both of
Josquin des Prez’s versions: his Missa L’homme armé sexti toni and his most famous version, Missa L'homme armé super voces musicales, a technical tour-de-force, containing numerous mensuration canons and contrapuntal display in which the L'homme armé tune is repeated for each movement on a consecutive step of the scale.

I am surprised by how much of an early music presence there is in the SF Bay Area... I should pay more attention. (I was more alert for early music performances when I was in Boston, in part because I was able to attend them more frequently and other events would often be advertised in the programs or elsewhere.)
