Solving, or helping to solve, impossible problems, is my specialty. Do you have some? Let me know.
Thanks,

Relationships with other people and the world will usually be incomplete, partial, and sometimes frustrating.
So this creates a need for things like belief systems and personality, to fill in the gaps. Also, things like philosophies, possessions, money, art, music, fashion and personal style.
A danger is if these gap-fillers become mistaken for the whole of reality.
You can’t forget that huge parts of life are the unpredictable, incomplete and often chaotic relationships with other people and the world. And, that we need to embrace these parts of life too.

A recent Mac OS update to 10.4.11, perhaps a security update, seems to have rendered my QuickBooks NUE 6 inoperable. It won’t even launch.
I tried updating QuickBooks NUE. Didn’t help.
I have an older OS on a partition of an external drive. When I boot from that OS (10.3.3), I can still launch QuickBooks NUE 6.

Regarding Seth Godin’s post Everyone gets paid on commission: I don’t agree that web traffic equals impact. It may say more about the limits of competition in a networked age.

With ProxThink, perhaps I’ve invented some new ways to be reasonable, balanced and measured, but in ways that promote life and vitality.

The three essentials of the “Good Enough Revolution” are: ease of use, continuous availability, and low price. See Wired article here: http://bit.ly/qpOFv
These ideas may relate to the way artdown works.
People who integrate diverse elements to create novel solutions and creations don’t necessarily come up through normal channels or have typical backgrounds.
Time will tell how useful, successful and novel my solutions and creations are, but I certainly don’t have a typical background for an intellectual, an artist, or a businessperson. (For more on my work, see http://proxthink.com, http://artdown.com, and http://proxearth.com.)
As such, I don’t conduct my intellectual, art or business affairs in a typical way either.
Nevertheless, something needs to change, because what I’m doing to make ends meet right now is killing me. It’s hard on my body, and takes enough time that I’m not making good progress on my various projects.

Ultimately, perhaps there is no reason to get up in the morning, or to start, stop or continue doing anything, or to enjoy anything, other than this reason: to be in the flow of life.
Being in the flow of life is another way of saying being related to life. Being is about relating, which is one of the foundations of ProxThink.
Many organizations, systems and processes, or parts thereof, from philosophy, religion and books, to businesses, markets and governments, to friends, networks, associations and family relationships, exist at least in part to keep us in the flow of life, or encourage us in the flow of life.

Kevin Kelly’s working definition of intelligence is anything that talks to itself.
Social media is helping us talk to and among ourselves in new and different ways. (By social media, I mean social networks, blogs, Twitter, Facebook, and the wide variety of social websites and social software.)
This is probably ramping up our intelligence, both as individuals and as groups.

Realized how much one of my core inclinations, and strengths, is exploring. Exploring ideas, people, things and places.
This can both help me make decisions and motivate me.
