Multi-media and Multi-tasking: Performance Art in Progress....!

Posted on Dec 23rd, 2006 by Nishtha : Imaginative Mellifluous Philosopher Nishtha
Alright, I'm using today's blog entry as a test.

I'm not employing as much rigor as a proper scientist should, since I cannot control a lot of the variables.

However, at this moment, I feel as I believe Archimedes must have felt when he shouted, "Eureka!" (I have found it!)....A possible key to elevating the (or at least, my) Zaadz experience....

My Back Story - not too much, just a bit of orientation to my frame of mind
I went to see the movie "The Fountain" today with my partner. I went because I felt compelled to go. Two days ago, I read Darshan's post and yesterday I read Julian's post.... (Please visit their sites and check them out and then, please, return here to me!)

"The Fountain" inspired me....to log on to Zaadz and make a contribution...however, once seated at my computer, I knew not what I wanted to say....So I decided to first explore what other people had already written.

Incidentally, when I log on to Zaadz, I have a tendency to listen to my iTunes simultaneusly. Sometimes, I listen to the party shuffle (complete randomization of the songs contained in my music library) and sometimes I pick a particular compilation that feels appropriate for my mood. Today, I picked the iTunes playlist that I entitled "Bookgroup 'American Soul'"  (for further elaboration on the relevance of this, please see my previous blog posting and this discussion board

So.... I'm reading the blogs of the people in "my friends" network, commenting where I feel moved to do so. I'm clicking on links that I've come across, learning new things, getting lost in the World Wide Web for a time and then finding my way back to Zaadz for further exploration and, hopefully, inspiration and motivation as well.

Eureka Moment
Somehow, I've managed to find my way to these places that I had NOT even KNOWN existed...! Zaadz started flowering before my very eyes.... I had come to a promised land.... an unfolding, evolving land-to-be, full of answers and questions and questions and....

And THIS is what was playing on my iTunes when I stumbled upon these CHOICE posts.....

My Experiment: Share my Eureka moment with me....

Here's my suggestion to those of you that have a high speed internet connection with multi-media capabilities:

Listen to the song while you read this.... and this....
NOTE: If you can help it, do not watch the video....have the music playing in the background while you explore the specified Zaadz posts I reference. (additional note, added after martha's feedback: if the song ends before you've had a chance to read both posts, feel free to replay it -- or not. Your choice....)

Data Collection: participation requested
I would love to receive feedback to what I have presented here in my blog. Anyone and everyone who comes across this entry, is free to post a comment here. But, I think it would be so much more powerful an experiment if data collection were to occur in a forum that doesn't reside in my domain alone....I believe a more egalitarian forum to share thoughts would be HERE.

To all voluntary subjects in this experiment, I offer my GRATITUDE and JOY for you to share!
Humble thanks.
