Week 4 Rss.feeds. Week of June 25, 2007

I subscribed to 11 RSS feeds. But, somehow the whole thing left me slightly disoriented. I need to link the feeds to this blog but somehow it's not happening?

Maybe, it will get clearer later in the week.

Week 3 of 23 Things - June 18 Business and Technology


Business and Technology


NEW YORK (Reuters) - Nonprofit emissions advisers The Climate Group said on Tuesday that Google Inc. has joined its organization to cut or offset all of its greenhouse emissions by 2008.

The Climate Group will partner with Web search leader Google to support its plans for greater energy efficiency and renewable energy, it said. Emissions that cannot be eliminated directly will be "offset" by investments in projects such as clean energy.

"Google's commitment to invest in environmental innovation, combined with their 'worldwide' reach -- will significantly help promote and accelerate international action on climate change," Steve Howard, chief executive of The Climate Group, said in a release.

June 11. 23Things.

On June 13, Maryland librarians went to a day long workshop on...Poetry! ESRL as usual offered the courtesy of their van with an excellent driver- Jessica Smith-Harper. Jessica, my hats off to you - the way you whizzed through the city traffic, you would do well in Rome, Italy or even Bombay!

The workshop was excellent with stimulating presenters and poets from the Poets House in New York City. They encouraged all librarians to start a program Poetry's Here @ Maryland Libraries. This is a project of Maryland Center for the Book - designed to bring poets and poetry to Maryland Public Libraries.

I think it is about time we promoted Poetry in libraries and schools.

Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason.

More on this in future blogs.

Life Long Learning

Life long learning is one of the oldest process of keeping your mind and brain working. It keeps us vital and young. 23 Things is one such method of keeping up with the current bombardment of new technology, that will remain constant in the 21st Century.

Having said that I would like to open my first blog with a few lines from my favorite poem _ Ithaca. Ithaca is my guiding star. This beautiful poem keeps the grand scheme of things in its proper perspective. I would like to share the first stanza with fellow bloggers because I know they will gain much from it & hope you find and read the rest of the poem.

ITHACA: THE POEM


As you set out on your journey to Ithaca,
pray that the road is long, full of adventure, full of knowledge.
The Lestrygonians and the Cyclops,
the angry Poseidon -- do not fear them:
You will never find such as these on your path,
if your thoughts remain lofty, if a fine emotion touches your spirit and your body.
The Lestrygonians and the Cyclops,
the fierce Poseidon you will never encounter,
if you do not carry them within your soul,
if your soul does not set them up before you.

Constantine P. Cavafy

P.S. The emphasis is mine.
