November 2005


In my own pursuit toward sustainable business, leadership, and life - I am surrounded these days by people and organizations who are transforming the world (Minnesota Coaches Association & Thought Leader Gathering being the two formost on my mind).  I ran across an excellent blog and and website yesterday while doing research on Biomimicry.   They are pulling together all these disparate parties together to share what is going on.  WorldChanging.com 

WorldChanging.com works from a simple premise: that the tools, models and ideas for building a better future lie all around us. That plenty of people are working on tools for change, but the fields in which they work remain unconnected. That the motive, means and opportunity for profound positive change are already present. That another world is not just possible, it’s here. We only need to put the pieces together.

Church of the Flying Spagetti Monster is the fastest growing faith on the planet.   Have you been touched by HIS noodly appendage?  www.venganza.org

The noodly appendage guided my mouse to this profound understanding of our creation.  All hail FSM (Flying Spagetti Monster).  We can all look forward to this unique vision of heaven as well.

Pastafarians everywhere are up in forks about Kansas Board of Education to limit the creation teachings and not include this equally viable

Church of the Flying Spagetti Monster

Background: In June 2005, Bobby Henderson submitted an open letter to the Kansas Board of Education to formally request that Flying Spaghetti Monsterism be given time in classrooms equal to that given to intelligent design and to "logical conjecture based on overwhelming observable evidence" (evolution).  This letter and the responses it received can be found on www.venganza.org.  More background can be found at wikipedia - the encyclopedia of the internet age.

I stumbled across this information, although I have seen the FSM symbol more and more frequently lately, when I started perusing WorldChanging and the discovery that scientists have made a biological monochromic camera out of e coli bacteria and the first image that appeared was FSM himself. www.worldchanging.com/archives/003781.html

Well its that time of year again. Didn’t do so well on the MillionK year. I think it was because I would rather be outside in the spring and summer and fall than on an erg.
