View Article  Two new Integral Sites to mention
and I want to mention them because they are community sites, not only individual sites - both on the Drupal software.

First off - there is Integral Reflections - from what I can see, this site has been around awhile (November 2004 counts as awhile) - and I'm not sure whether they will continue to publish, as they have gone pretty much silent since May of 2005 - but like Generation Site, you have multiple bloggers on one site.

Next, is Shift in Action - this site marks what I know to be the first entry by an "integral-type" college, into the blogosphere, as this has been put together by the Institute of Noetic Sciences.  As well, they are using the media friendliness of Drupal to present Live Teleseminars.  In this, they are following in the heels of Integral Naked, but it still is nice to see other organizations move forward with technology to engage in questions at the frontiers of inner and outer knowledge.

Now, here's where I have to admit my laziness - I have a separate box sitting there -with Drupal on it - right now!!

This is as opposed to integral's good techie friend, Michael Dubois, who actually has helped out with Shift In Action, from what I understand.  As well as keeping Integral Visioning and IntegralWiki going!

But, I haven't done anything with it - it sits there, as I go about my regular life.  (I was going to prettify it up, but I never got around to doing any site design, and adding a couple of modules, after I did the install.)

Ah well.  One of these days you'll see a community site, but up by ebuddha - but I wouldn't be holding your breath!





View Article  On the Feminine, the Divine, and Integralism
Jean has a nice post today, about feminine and Integralism - and sex!  I appreciate her thoughts on this, and I hadn't actually heard of Marion Woodman before.  I had read a couple of Riane Eisler' books, however.

From what I can tell, the intersection of blogging, computers, and integral, is - what - 90% male?  So it's always great to get a considerate, thoughtful, female voice, as hearing echoes of myself, while entertaining (because I amuse myself, dontcha know!), it is very limiting, and not all that integral.


View Article  More than just "crashing the party"
Saw this article from KeyNet - follow the links to what LOOKS like smerican soldiers, such as National Guard, breaking up a party - although I guess they were police (SWAT probably) in soldier gear.  

While I understand that because the RAVE act was passed, this is "acceptable" in a legal sense, it looks absolutely awful.  Can't people have a dance gathering anymore?

At any rate, watch the video, pass this around - a person can't do much, but a thousand blogs can at least bring attention to the fact that these type of tactics are unacceptable.  Even if it is legally correct to shut a party like this down, why send SWAT and police in soldier gear?
