One of our service providers just suffered a major network outage, reducing our web capacity significantly for the past two hours.

We’re frustrated with the amount of time it took to resolve this issue, but are more disappointed that this issue had such a dramatic impact on our service. We’re already working to remove this component as a single point of failure.

Our deepest apologies for letting you down tonight.

always remember … what is relevant you will see.  what you need, you have.  what information you are supposed to get, you will get it right on time.  never, ever worry that you missed anything, because if it is your’s to have, receive, know, etc., its timing will be perfect.  you didn’t miss a thing!

i just wonder …. did they get permission to use all those trademarks and how much is the licensing fee?!!!!

still learning about tumblr, but what i love about it is how many messages you can get from images when you tumbl them together in the flow of all those you follow … i’m going back to listening to the cosmos speak in the seeming random flow of information ………….

its is always about perspective and how afraid you are of the fact that you control that perspective.

it isn’t enough
2 believe

in 2012 (vibrationally, a 5).

or, for that matter, in 4017* (a 12:3)
or in 12.19.19.1.8 ** (a 59:14:5)
or in 3078 *** (an 18:9)
or in 5772 **** (a 21:3)
or in 1433 ***** (an 11:2)

all of which ‘years’ are illusions of linear time interpreted into a construct for the
common use of the human beings which believe in the linear nature of our reality.

and do we really believe in the linear nature in time?  or do we just pretend to?

belief is an illusion
based on what
is hoped 2 b
true.

but if one believes, then there is a presupposition that the object of the belief is
not true — or at least there is a potential for it not to be true, otherwise why
would you HAVE to believe it.

because,  if you know, there’s no reason to believe any longer.

u just know.

peace & harmony,

Saturday’s workout (after a clean and jerk workout):

Deadlifts/Farmer’s Walk.

Start the Deadlifts at about 60% 1RM. Each set will see an increase in weight. The Farmer’s Walks are just heavy, no need to bump the weight up each time.

10 reps/120-ish feet

8 reps/120-ish feet

6 reps/120…

4 reps/120…

2 reps/120…

1 rep/120… (well, sorta.  Grip was giving out on the last set pretty bad. I was lucky to get about 60 or 70 feet).

As always, finish with a ton of mobility and flow work.

too bad that the once really slick idea that “Hello World!” was, is now comF5 or there may have been some confusion.  maybe all those people who bought into Hello World! will be happy to see their original name sake now a part of another very thoughtful and interesting idea.

Name One Hello World
Location Syracuse, NY

Described as “PostSecret for the ears” by Paste Magazine, One Hello World is a collection of voicemails set to their own soundtrack created by an anonymous composer. Callers from across the world participate by dialing One Hello World’s voicemail and sharing their story. The result is a musical compilation giving listeners a cross-section of the human experience. With the help of a successful Kickstarter project, a 30-track debut album, The Listener is set to be released in late March.

Two days ago, you guys stepped up once again to show the world just how much we care about protecting the Internet. Together, we generated more than 140,000 calls to Senators, spent more than 4,200 hours on the phone with their staffers, and blacked out 650,000 of our blogs to make our point and inspire others to get involved. And what’s more, this was on top of the 90,000 calls we sent to members of the House of Representatives a month ago. Incredible.

It’s now becoming clear just how much impact our action is having. On January 18th, only 31 members of Congress opposed these bills. Just one day later, 101 members of Congress publicly stood with us in opposition. We are being heard.

And as of today, it looks like both the Senate PIPA and House SOPA bills have been shelved, for the moment. It seems pretty likely that the bills won’t pass as written—a big first win. We now hope that Internet companies, the creative community and the content industry join together to innovate and devise new partnerships to combat online piracy. We’re confident there are effective ways to do this without damaging the Internet or diminishing our freedoms.

You’ve made a big difference in keeping the Internet a safe and open place for creators. Thank you again.
