Brightwind: Meditations 

Meditations on a Life in Progress

You know what? What do you know? hmmm....

A strange thing has happened! I’ve suddenly realized why I haven’t updated this website since February.

I’ve changed.

That’s to say: the things that have happened to me, the questions I’ve asked, and the truths I’ve been exploring in my life this year have made me understand that the previous Brightwind no longer fits my mould. I have to reframe this website’s management and organization to do things in a rather different way.

So. It is with some amount of mixed sadness and relief that I tentatively announce to the thronging millions who have been checking my website for the last 11 months each and every day that David Bowers will no longer write for Brightwind. Instead it will be taken over by a small cast of fictional characters (created, scripted, and copyrighted by a mysterious group of 1 to 10 people and/or demi gods).

May your life, dear reader, be eternally blessed with interesting questions.

Adventure is worthwhile - Aesop

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
