Mr. Richard's unwavering curiosity
2008-05-11 15:50:00 It's not even 10:00 AM and I've already had my Mother's Day card, present, and breakfast. Gone are the days when a celebratory breakfast didn't even dream of starting until after CBS Sunday Morning.Bird was a very sweet boy and got me a card and a trip to the Aveda Spa. Smart little guy.We tried to go to the Farmer's Market for breakfast, but they weren't open yet. That's how early we were out and about this morning. Making the most of Bird's awake time.Instead, we ate at the iHop near the college campus here in town. Usually it is slammed on a Sunday morning, but we learned that it's still pretty empty at 7:00.Our waiter was a ridiculously friendly man whose nametag read "Mr. Richard." He cooed over Christopher, commented on our sling, and asked how much he weighed at birth.In fact, he had many questions about his birth and other things. Throughout our breakfast, he asked:"Was it a difficult birth?""Did it take you a long time?""How much did you dilate on your own?""Why di...

Awareness and curiosity
2008-04-02 06:38:00 It is sometimes amazing how little we see. Think of a street you walk down daily: Can you recall what trees or flowers grow on this street? How about the colours or designs of the houses? For most of us, there are some details to which we pay attention, but others to which we are completely oblivious. For example, we may recall the make and model of every car parked on our street, but have no clue whether a front yard contains a garden gnome. Or perhaps we remember every bus-stop advertisement on the street, but cannot recall if the trees are blossoming. Of course, remembering these details is not necessarily important, but it is still useful to see whether we can. This provides insight into what goes through our heads as we walk down these streets. Are we absorbed in thought and oblivious to our surroundings? Do we filter most things out, perhaps only noticing the advertisements and sales in a store window? Or are we one of those rare people who takes curiosity in our surroundings,...
Imprudent curiosity...

The Obama campaign declared it "an outrageous breach of security". I think I might describe it as somewhere in the middle of these two descriptions. Look folks, these employees were reported, fired, and appear to have no connection to any political candidate or any political party officials. It's not as if the President, Hillary, or John McCain told these people to snoop around in Obama's personal information. If I was a betting man, I would bet that they did what they did possibly out of some malicious intent to uncover something that they might use for personal gain. Maybe some secret information that they could sell to the Drudge Report for billions of dollars.

The Pinky Show: Clever Cats Cultivating Curiosity and Compassion
2008-01-02 14:33:00 The Pinky Show has given me continuous food for thought since I first stumbled upon the episode The Iraq War: Legal or Illegal? a few months ago. These online video, radio and interview programs focus on a wide range of topics, most of which are marginalized, distorted or excluded from mainstream media and dialogue. During these lo-tech, hand-drawn shows, a cat named Pinky asks obvious questions that are rarely raised or answered by popular news outlets. She and her inquisitive cat friends then scour the earth in search of documents and experts to clarify misrepresented or ignored issues In the new episode Kicking the Apartheid Habit, Pinky ponders segregation and inequalities. This keen cat concludes that refusing to benefit from unjust institutions is a powerful way to get equal rights for all. She then poses a simple question that would be unthinkable to most: Hey, what about marriage? Because that's also something that doesn't allow everyone to participate equally, right? Li...

Contrast of material between transparent glass panels and opaque, clean, solid concrete structure; long ramp entry from side way to the second level shows contrast towards the entry point to the office working area at ground level with simple, straight forward colour scheme and light treatment just makes it adorable to me.

What is the basis for your curiosity?
2007-12-06 23:54:00 Paranormal skills confound some people and intrigue others. You may seek to redefine your views of the truth. You may even dream of developing some new abilities. Come what may, it would be helpful to uncover the reasons behind your apparent curiosity. To do so, you benefit from asking yourself the following:1) What are your initial impressions? Some people get their first exposure to paranormal skills in popular culture such as film, articles and other media. Where did you first learn the term 'paranormal?' What about these skills appeals to you? Do you believe it possible or illusory? Who have you seen on read about with such abilities? How does it make you feel?2) Why are you seeking further information? Perhaps you are intrigued with a particular person you've heard about and would simply like to learn more about him or her. Then again, you may have different underlying motivations. As you learn more about yoursel...

My Unconscious Mind is Driven Most by CURIOSITY!
2007-11-20 08:34:00 How cool is that!! Apparently, I just did a personality test based on an Inkblot Test. Basically, the inkblots can reveal more than just what drives your unconscious mind.According to the test result, I'm probably have an inquisitive and forward-thinking nature. This trait can manifest by being full of thoughts about the future, or maybe just simply enjoy considering new ideas. Not one to be reined in by the humdrum realities of daily life, and appear to be able to look beyond those boundaries to imagine new vistas. People with a heightened drive for curiosity tend to be open-minded and non-judgmental. This can go hand in hand with their appreciation for seeking out new possibilities.At times, having a seeking nature can make curiosity types highly intellectual, whether scientists, writers, or simply brainy daydreamers (hahahahha, do sound like me!!) . "What if..." is likely a question never far from any of their minds.Wanna try the similar tests? Try it at Tickle.comhttp://jymysti...

Curiosity Killed the Cat, but it Saved the Blogger!
2007-09-13 04:55:00 As a blogger your job is to take a close look at the world and share your interpretation. Readers come to you looking for up to date information, but even more importantly, they want to hear what YOU have to say about the world around them. Can you give your readers what they are after? Can you do it every day? For the next year, two years, or even the rest of your life? As Leo discussed recently, blogging isn’t always easy. Fortunately there’s something that will help you keep your blog alive and growing even after your initial excitement has died: cultivating curiosity and becoming insanely interested. Insanely interested in your topic, and insanely interested in everything. Here?s why: It keeps you going: For a person looking at the world with both eyes open, there is always a new post idea waiting behind the corner.

Passionate curiosity of Einstein

The hundredth time I am right.?- Albert EinsteinIt took years for Einstein to formulate his theories of special and general relativity. As he himself said, it was through ?no special talent? that he unlocked these insights into how the universe works, but due to his ?passionate curiosity?. Einstein thus found the will and inspiration to persevere, transforming physics and how we look at our world. Now, I?m no Einstein, and you?re no Einstein, but what could you or I create if we had the same perseverance and ?passionate curiosity? as he?

Freedom - a combination of excitement and curiosity
2007-08-15 14:50:00 The verdict is out - I'm moving.I signed the lease today after a more thorough check of the house. On closer inspection, i realize the house is older than i thought, and for a fleeting moment, i did wonder exactly what drawbacks an old house might have, but that was immediately jostled aside when i looked at the big picture.The night before i had taken a look at the house. The street was admittedly very dark, and i was filled with jitters about walking alone past midnight. But as we progressed down the street, it got slightly brighter, and i saw neighbours looking at us because we are strangers in the vicinity. So the people in the neighbourhood are vigilant, that's good.I also discovered that the new place is located one house away from a private hospital. The house sandwiched between the new property and the hospital was incredibly eerie, and on first sight, i was like what the hell?! and actually almost banished the hope of signing the house (i was really disappointed when the ...
Guest blogger, Murray Suid on curiosity and words
2007-07-23 13:59:00 Thanks, Nienke, for your thoughtful announcement of my visit. You made me feel welcome at your remarkable website. I?m the kind of writer who likes a distraction. Could be the smell of coffee in the other room, or a ?dump your microwave oven? urban myth that plops onto my desktop. No surprise, therefore, that as I began typing this piece about words origins, I allowed my attention to be drawn to your Tip of the Day: ?Always take the attitude of a learner in your writing and be open to new insights from any source.? I hope it won?t seem that I?m malingering if I comment on this sage advice before I get down to business. In the 1990s, I enrolled in UCLA?s screenwriting program. At age 51 I thought I knew everything about cranking out scripts. I just wanted to meet producers so I could sell my work. But in my first class I discovered how much I had to learn about story structure. That humbling experience confirms the wisdom of your tip about being curious. Now about words: In high...

Curiosity Killed the (Wannabe) Stud.
2007-07-18 15:06:00 It wouldn’t matter if I had three chins, a paper bag over my head, or be a Cyclops, he’ll still talk a mile a minute, try to find a spare moment to practice his pick-up skills or try to apply the skills he’s observed on his European holiday to humble Old Sydney Town. It’s not about me, per se, it’s about honing his skills – much to my irritation. I sat at the usual seat, planted my butt so the radiant heat from the outdoor gas heater came my way, took my pen out and started jotting whatever I could. I had less than an hour as I was on my lunch break, and damn I can’t stand being disturbed by wet behind the ear wannabe pick up artists. On the days I lunch with a gf, he’ll cop hairy eyeballs each time he prances by, telling her to ‘smile’ or asking ‘waz up?’ with a cocky leer. She'll then give him a hairy eyeball, he'll frown and slink away like a sullen kindergarten lad (he's in his mid to late twenties). So he kind of, well he did, crash into my priv... |
