Great little article, and interview with Eric Schmidt.   

“The goal is to enable Google users to be able to ask the question such as ‘What shall I do tomorrow?’ and ‘What job shall I take?’ ”

This meshes of course, with Integral Practice.  Once Google - or I-Google, the individualized version for me - has enough information about me - I can use google's handy little search box to ask:

a.  What type of exercise is right for my body?  (google will already have my DNA, height, weight, and medical history).
b.  What diet is right for me?  (same as above)
c.  What job should I have? (google will already have, and be able to produce an analysis on, both my interests and my skills.  In fact, I can hardly wait for "google portfolio"!)
d.  What spiritual path is right for me?  (Google will have again, my interests, a fairly detailed psychological profile, with my various psychological types, whether I'm more of a mind or body person.
e.  Who should I marry?  (Google will have a much cooler and complicated algorhythm to match me up with others whose profiles will be compatible.  It will blow match.com out of the water!  And then of course, will manage the introductions, through Google Twitter or Google Jabber.)
f.  What volunteering should I do?  (Again, based on where I am, my psychological profile, and where I live, my social networks, this will be easy to calculate).

Face it - we won't need to have Conversations with God - we can just have -

Conversations with Google.

Great little opinion article at San Francisco Chronicle.

Useful to remember, when things "just work", how much time, effort, actually goes into them.  The march of progress!

Article worth reading, by Graham English.

And through automation, I’ve been able to cut 15 to 20 minute tasks down to 60 seconds. It’s safe to say that I’ve caught the automation bug. I find myself noticing the tasks I do everyday and asking myself how can I automate this or at least reduce the steps to completion.

Another benefit to automation is creating a frictionless environment in which to be productive. For example, I’ve always wanted to keep a journal. But the way I chunked the process of keeping a journal was a major de-motivator for me. If I was going to keep a journal, I had to look at the time it would require and figure out what I was going to give up. 15 minutes to an hour a day is a serious commitment. What did I do? I scripted a journal with built in reminders. Now I don’t have to think about it. My journal just runs in the background.

Okay, I'm making Graham my personal integral productivity counselor.  GTD plus integral. You think he will fly out to the U.S. for $60 integral coaching sessions?
