The title of this post says it all. I’m involved in designing websites, producing websites, updating websites, designing print materials of all kinds, creating interactive PDF projects, and a bunch of other stuff. So, I’m too busy to blog, and have been for several weeks.
Once some of these projects are completed, I’ll be posting more updates so you can see what I’ve been doing.
In the meantime, follow me on Twitter or friend me on Facebook.
If you have any web or print design needs, contact me! I’m never too busy to take on a new client.
I’ve been in Los Angeles for about a year now. Who’s bright idea was it to relocate at the lowest point in the DOW? (This chart shows the last 5 years.)
I encourage anyone reading this to visit charterforcompassion.org and affirm the charter for yourself.
A call to bring the world together…
The principle of compassion lies at the heart of all religious, ethical and spiritual traditions, calling us always to treat all others as we wish to be treated ourselves. Compassion impels us to work tirelessly to alleviate the suffering of our fellow creatures, to dethrone ourselves from the centre of our world and put another there, and to honour the inviolable sanctity of every single human being, treating everybody, without exception, with absolute justice, equity and respect.
It is also necessary in both public and private life to refrain consistently and empathically from inflicting pain. To act or speak violently out of spite, chauvinism, or self-interest, to impoverish, exploit or deny basic rights to anybody, and to incite hatred by denigrating others—even our enemies—is a denial of our common humanity. We acknowledge that we have failed to live compassionately and that some have even increased the sum of human misery in the name of religion.
We therefore call upon all men and women ~ to restore compassion to the centre of morality and religion ~ to return to the ancient principle that any interpretation of scripture that breeds violence, hatred or disdain is illegitimate ~ to ensure that youth are given accurate and respectful information about other traditions, religions and cultures ~ to encourage a positive appreciation of cultural and religious diversity ~ to cultivate an informed empathy with the suffering of all human beings—even those regarded as enemies.
We urgently need to make compassion a clear, luminous and dynamic force in our polarized world. Rooted in a principled determination to transcend selfishness, compassion can break down political, dogmatic, ideological and religious boundaries. Born of our deep interdependence, compassion is essential to human relationships and to a fulfilled humanity. It is the path to enlightenment, and indispensible to the creation of a just economy and a peaceful global community.
And I see I’m not the only person watching Tosh.0 on Comedy Central… Tonight’s episode included a bit about highdeas.com which I see is now the number 1 trending search on Google…
