  1. THE COSTS OF CAFFEINE

    http://shotofjaq.org/2010/04/the-costs-of-caffeine/ In the Open Source and geek culture there has always a celebration about taking oodles of caffeine and hacking into the early hours, boasting to your comrades that you drank more coke, hacked longer and are more hardware. Jono Bacon and Stuart ‘Aq’ Langridge explore whether our fascination with caffeine is such a good idea and whether there is an undercurrent of caffeine affecting our moods and the health of our bodies and our communities.

    Merlin is great at breaking down the process of making art, or writing, or however you choose to be awesome and helping you think clearly about how you can stop stalling and just get started. So what are you waiting for?

  4. BG 161: Happiness – There’s an App For That

    In this episode we’re joined by Soren Gordhamer, long time tech writer, and author of Wisdom 2.0: Ancient Secrets for the Creative and Constantly Connected. Soren often writes for the Huffington Post and Mashable (a social media blog) on the relationship between the inner world with technology and social media. He explores with us some of the potential shadow sides of technology, as well as some of the remedies that can be used in balancing our internal life with our external. He suggests that focusing more consciously on our internal world actually puts us in a position where we can use technology, instead of technology using us.

    Soren also shares some details on a conference that he’s organizing, which will be bringing together luminaries from both the spiritual and technology worlds. His hope is that a conversation between the two can better answer the question of how we live a life of wisdom in the modern world.

  6. Brad Warner - Talk at Dharma Field

    http://hardcorezen.blogspot.com/2009/12/trip-report.html

    "Here’s an audio file of my talk at Dharma Field in Minneapolis last Sunday, December 6, 2009.

    12/6/09 Dharma Field

    Those of you who’ve heard my talks before will recognize that the first 15 minutes are a variation on my standard introductory stump speech. This is the autobiographical how-I-got-into-Zen thing I do a lot. But after 15 minutes, the Q&A started and it went in some interesting directions, I think."
