More Big Mind

I watched the Big Mind DVD last night, and while the experience is of course not as powerful as being there, it adequately brings the experience into your home. You can follow the words of Genpo Roshi, and the group of people assembled, quite easily. The quality of video and audio is excellent, good job I-I crew! The DVD will become a powerful tool for anybody who watches it. I will let you know if and when it becomes available or you can check at the Integral Naked site. Genpo rocks!

New, and hopefully improved, diary/Blog

I am working with Canton on moving my Diary/Blog to a better place. We will archive this whole Diary from 1993 to present and keep it accessible. We will unfortunately loose all of your comments because we will move it to a different server, but that cannot be helped. As it is Comments are turned off anyway, because they are so slow.

So, sometime in August will be the first day of the new blog, which will be powered by Blogger. We will keep the look of the diary, but will incorporate some of the new technology. With the help of Flickr I will be able to send you more photos like this, which I uploaded while Robby and Ron were still performing.

Drum Duet

This is Ron Wagner. I took this photo with my phone cam and uploaded it while they were still playing.

Thunder and dark clouds

The wonderful smell of rain in the desert! There is nothing like it and no way I can describe it to you. It rains for about 30 minutes and stops a little while before we are to start our performance. Now the temperature is perfect for us, as the rain has cooled the air after a very hot and dusty afternoon. I remember that in the late Eighties and early Nineties one could set one’s watch to the Santa Fe monsoon. It would rain from 4:30pm until 5:30 or 6pm and then clear up in time for the opera… Not so since the mid-Nineties
