'I'm well into compiling a book, for INSHE Warrior wannabees.' SL
It's probably another full months work to finish, but today I'm feeling encouraged with both progress, process, and importance / value.
My sense was that I owed the latent, aching INSHE Warrior wannabe of the future - days, years, centuries... an accessible view of SL in 2011. So for days I've been working out the technical process for tracking and executing the manual/automated process of transcribing my video logs of the last year. The process is shaping up better than I'd expected, the technical tools I've gathered are working, well, and as to the quality, we'll I'M Learning, I'm Growing, I'm Encouraged by re-listening to these vlogs, so my hope and confidence that some other, at some other point in time, can profit, has, well, increased a lot!

"My life's blood is slowly dripping away." SL
Oh, this definitely is a dramatic way of putting it, but not entirely. I've 'sacrificed,' allowed to slip away, every support we consider necessary in our society, except for a few low-end sleeping bags that allow me to survive the winter cold, and the $2 per day that salves my conscience for the 10-14 hours per day that I work in the back corner of the God-send coffee shop that somewhere between tolerates and is fulfilled with my presence. $2, every day, pretty much, tho when weather permits, I'll either be among the few promising souls at Occupy DC, doing what leavening I can, or in front of the White House, with my Kill Carbon posters, in either case.
$2 per day... drip, drip, drip. I have no replenishment. Drip, drip, drip.
