Brightwind is back!

Brightwind returns today! For a long time I haven't been sure where to go with this site. Ever since my mother got cancer way back in 2005, I've had all sorts of ambiguous feelings about what I should do with my life and even more ambiguous feelings about how in the world I could write about it. But now, that ambiguity is just floating away like so many clouds; I've been learning so much, talking to really interesting people, and most importantly rejuvenating my spiritual life through a series of journeys, prayers and meditations. Some of this is very personal of course, but much of it is on subjects I think lots of people can understand and appreciate.

So from now on, I'm going to start sharing thoughts and pictures and whatever comes to mind more. I might do various updates or changes or whatnot, but really my main purpose is that I can keep in touch and share ideas with my friends scattered about the world, who can also leave comments and share their ideas and thoughts too!

The few minutes you spend here on Brightwind should be very bright indeed, I hope, though not necessarily very windy.

Reading

Books I'm reading

A really neat body-snatcher story from the alien invader's point of view.

Enjoying

Things I liked:

A very meaningful and easy to understand 20-minute flash video (also available for download) about crisis of the materials economy.

A weird audio-visual illusion. Are you hearing the same sound that you’re seeing? (thanks: firda)

a daily fountain of inspiration to anyone who enjoys or creates literature.

A flash animation about where your meat comes from.

Surfing

Sites I read:

This is the site where I've been working for a while now, writing columns and blog posts about World of Warcraft. If you'd just like to read the articles I have written myself, you can click here.

an excellent and frequently updated collection of views about China

Examining virtues from a practical point of view.

has lots of neat ideas, and also uses expression engine, just like me.

a site about changing the world
