Hello. I’m an artist, innovator and writer. You’ll find my art at loughry.com. I created a set of ideas and tools for thinking, relating and innovating in the proximity of situations, which you will find at proxthink.com. You can find biographical and background information about me on both of these sites as well. My writing appears on three blogs, one on loughry.com, one on proxthink.com, and here on davidloughry.com.

It’s the Variety, Friend

I believe almost no one gets as much variety as they crave or deserve. The ProxThink Sustainable Proximities approach could change that. It could help us create sustainable proximities within which each of us individually, and together in groups, could experience more variety.

The partials and the gap-fillers

(r] davidloughry.com
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 […]

QuickBooks NUE 6 and Recent Mac OS Updates

(r] davidloughry.com
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 […]

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.

Good Enough Revolution

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

Something Needs to Change

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 […]

Flow of Life

(r] davidloughry.com
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 […]
