View Article  I can only agree with C4 here
In terms of online video.

Over the past few months, my "video watching" habits have COMPLETELY changed.  (In fact, I was flipping between Google Reader and YouTube when I saw Rommel's original post.)

Oh, and while I agree with the recommendations of Satriani and Stevie Ray Vaughn, for Guitar blues, I've always been pretty partial to Johnny Winter.  Not quite as talented, but guitar is all this "white-haired freak" ever really did.  This is a great rendition of Highway 61.

And of course, for some GREAT guitar, well, I give you Al Di Meola and Paco De Lucia.

These guys are GODS.  Especially wait for Paco around minute 3:30 to 4:00.
View Article  Ken Wilber website redesign
Everyone who reads this blog probably knows all about the Ken Wilber website redesign.

My own initial thoughts -

a.  It's an improvement over the last site, in terms of easy access to stuff - (blog, writings, audio-video, etc).
b. Coolmel is blogging!  (or C4Chaos? when I use that name, still don't like the moniker - but then again, glass houses and such - I mean- ebuddha??)
c. There is more in-site interactivity.  Some of the old site (still somewhat accessible through personal) was visually nice but harder to navigate. This site is easier.
d. The "personality" of the site is always interesting, and I wonder to what degree it reflects the personality of Wilber, in that both the old and new sites - as well as Integral Naked to a degree:
    i)  are very slick froma presentation standpoint
    ii) Have a tendency towards peculiar color choices - trying for the "futuristic", but occasionally coming across as grandiose. 
    iii) Are very 'one-directional'. 

Interestingly enough, Ken Wilber's work is sometimes that way as well!
