More on Palladium - I, Cringely | The Pulpit. Microsoft really seems to have created a devious plan to control all our computers and data… And present it as helping us make the net more secure and our computers more secure.

This is quite an interesting read. The Register USA. It’s quite lengthy but worth a read if you are at all interested in open source software.

I’ve stumbled on this site today:
what is socially-engaged buddhism. Looks quite interesting. Haven’t been looking much on what else is on the net about this subject…

feeling kinda depressed today. Went to a farewell party last night for a fellow civil soldier
here… I don’t know what is with me and parties, but I just find them totally
boring. People getting drunk and making fools of themselves, I mean what is the point
in that? And then of course I think something must be wrong with me, because everyone else
seems to be enjoying themselves. Old feelings of loneliness and being out of place came up pretty
strong. Thoughts of Trungpa Rinpoche kept coming up and his insistent talking about
aloneness, how important it is. I could never quite get what was he talking about
and I still can’t… Feeling mad and sad at the moment.
So, what to do? Wallow in it, oh, poor me who’s at the mercy of these horrible feelings,
or is there something else?
Found this quote from Trungpa Rinpoche on the net:

“When you walk into this world of reality, the greater or cosmic world, you will find the way to rule your world - but, at the same time, you will also find a deep sense of aloneness. It is possible that this world could become a palace or a kingdom to you, but as its king or queen, you will be a monarch with a broken heart. It is not a bad thing to be, by all means. In fact, it is the way to be a decent human being - and beyond that a glorious human being who can help others.”

Chogyam Trungpa, Shambhala - The Sacred Path of the Warrior, Shambhala, Boston & London, 1988, p. 142.

I’ve lately heard Ani Pema talk about tasting, hearing,
touching, smelling your emotions. Hmm… How on earth does one do that??
taste depression? yucky thought!

Just bought 2 new books. One is Being Zen: Bringing Meditation to Life from my Zen teacher Ezra Bayda, a wonderful guy who is an Dharma heir of Joko Beck and is currently living in San Diego. He’s very clear, precise and to the point - I’m very much looking forward to reading it… The other one is Sex and Money: Are Dirty, Aren’t They
from Cheri Huber. She usually has a very fresh perspective on things and this should be a good read as well. We’ll let you know how they turn out…
