Here's what we're going to do...

We're going down to GenCon and setting up a table.

We're collecting $20 from every attendee.

When the Con is over, we're going to Ken Hite and saying: "Here is a dump truck full of money. Here is a wiki. You have comeplete, total, and sole control over the contents of said wiki. The money will be paid out on a regular, steady schedule until it's all gone. Your job is to distill the contents of your eiliptony bookshelf into the wiki. It'll be sort of an online, occult version of Encyclopedia Victoriana. It'll be free to anyone who wants to poke through it."

Seriously. $20 a head is cheap relative to the value of an on-line, wikified, eliptony shelf.

Zen Story Review

Hey,

So [livejournal.com profile] kellesparta lent me a coipy of Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman, which is a book I've heard of, but never actually read myself.

So I read it.

It is, in brief, an extended Zen story. I like zen stories. A lot. Sadly, my monkey brain is very clever with zen stories and often willfully misses the point. However, the book did come along at an opportune time and remind me of a few important things, so on that note, I'm happy it came my way.

Recommended if you like zen stories.
