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

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.

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!

Assessing A Practice - An Evaluation Shell
by

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.
