Been feeling quite nostalgic for Burning Man, which The Bear attended for the first time last year. Unable to go this year :( However I was VERY happy to discover there’s a live Ustream webcam feed of Burning Man 2012, direct from the playa. I’ve been watching it when I can. It’s up high on […]
We’re now just past the third-year mark since Tame Bear learned of Traffic Exchanges and has made them a part of his life, at varying times and degrees. So it is with great pleasure that I present my actual earnings so far this year (output from Quick Books For Mac) woo hoo. Relatively modest by […]
LoseIt.com is the place where friends help friends lose weight. It’s also helped people lose some 7,766,000 lbs! and counting. The Bear started using the Lose It! app (free on iPhone and Android) earlier this month to track calories and exercise. There’s a related web site, so I created an account. My goal is to […]

Few know it now, but we stand at the leading edge of one of the greatest cultural and spiritual renaissances the world has ever known. We have emerged from the greatest financial calamity our country has seen in nearly a hundred years. We appear to be as divisive as ever — some would say more […]
If The Bear appears to write often without making reference to God, it’s because God runs through all-that-is without ever being a separate thing. I do not wish to invoke the idea of a creator-God separated and apart from all else. This is why I see you as no less of a creator than God. You […]
Surely 9.8 million tweets can’t be wrong. Computer scientists analyzed millions of tweets from 2008, characterizing trends in “mood dimensions” with evocative names such as “Calm,” “Alert,” “Vital,” “Sure,” “Kind,” and “Happy.” The researchers found that the “Calm” index tracked well with the ups and downs of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, while preceding them […]
