Comments on: Silicon Yogi http://www.jasonjay.com/blog/?p=66 Editor's note: This blog is an online archive of my writing from 2001-2005. It includes a series of travel reflections originally sent as emails to friends and family during my 2001 world travels. It also includes blog entries from my year as a student at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, from my summer playing music in Montreal, and from my two years as a consultant for Dialogos. Some of my views have changed and some of my plans have not come to pass. But I am keeping this material online for future reference and others' link integrity.

I since created Siliconyogi.com, which I gave license to Andreas Agiorgitis to populate with his work. But now we are moving it to a new server and a new incarnation seems timely. How could we move this idea forward? Ben Chun and I spoke today about some ideas. He had a very cool idea to create a blog on which we would post provocations on a weekly basis. For example, "how do you manage your email so as to keep a sense of peace, priority, and purpose?" Then people could participate through any number of Web 2.0 methods - comments, entries on their own blog with trackback, Facebook walls, etc. Then we would do two things: play with visualization tools that allowed you to surf the answers in a contemplative way; and offer some kind of redux or summary or best-of in a subsequent post. "We" would be a smaller community of people developing these provocations. Or we could focus on the "we" and just use siliconyogi.com to develop a community of people interested in posting the products and reflections of their "practice"... mind maps, digital art, journal entries, etc... But put on the web for others to see and comment on. What do "we" think? It has now been 6 years and three months since this post.
