View Article  I Am - The Ham?
Well, I'm not sure of the quality of this assessment.  If I'm a ham, I'm rather bad at it - Will Ferrell, I'm not!

Thanks to Nicq for this! 

Now, for the  results - read them and wonder - HUH?

THE HAM
(47% dark, 56% spontaneous, 27% vulgar)

your humor style:
CLEAN | SPONTANEOUS | LIGHT


Your style's mostly goofy, innocent and feel-good. Perfect for parties and for the dads who chaperone them. You can actually get away with corny jokes, and I bet your sense of humor is a guilty pleasure for your friends. People of your type are often the most approachable and popular people in their circle. Your simple & silly good-naturedness is immediately recognizable, and it sets you apart in this sarcastic world.

PEOPLE LIKE YOU: Will Ferrell - Will Smith

View Article  Naropa Internet Archive for Kool Kats
Came across this Naropa Collection, that has been preserved in the Internet Archive.

For anyone who has ever been interested in the Beat Generation, this is a dream.  It looks like you get amazing readings from Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs.  Good stuff on Jack Kerouac as well.


View Article  Marines, the Military and Integral Organizations
Those of you who read here, who like contemplating about the idea of integral organizations, go ahead and check out Mike's post on the "Integral Marine Corps".  

If you feel like it, go ahead and use that space to answer the question - "What is the most integral organization I have been a part of?"  For Mike, it has been the Marines. 

What has it been for you?

I'll answer over there!
View Article  Assessing A Practice - An Evaluation Shell
I've been working on an evaluation form for evaluating practices - an evaluation form that engages the what, why, how, and benefits of a practice - that will function across different types of practice.

This will continue to get better, but if anyone can give me feedback or suggestions, I would appreciate it.  The directory I hope to form using Integral Commons will end up being based on the following evaluation shell:

What is the practice/injunction name?
By doing the practice/injunction, what indvidual qualities are gained/improved?
What would be a way to measure this quality?
What are the assessments to evaluate one's current measure of this quality?
What are the immersive programs (30, 60 90 day) to quickly incorporate this quality into one's life?
What are the ongoing "integrate into life" programs - for daily use?
What is considered the minimum discipline/attention/time to practice, in order to still retain value?
What are the online support mechanisms/people to help one maintain the practice?



That's it for now.  Feedback welcome.
