Sat morning in San Francisco. Pondering whether my LA pumpkin time has really been extended another day... Or we head south.
@RodneyRamsey do you need a futurist? ;)

Really enjoying these conference roadtrips. Considering driving LA to Vancouver for WFS with stops in Pland and Seattle... who's in?
@Mickipedia that OH reminds me of @damedarcy. But I know you're talking about a different kind of doll shop. #notvoodoo
@klaitner glad it made you laugh. I didn't even need my sidekick, the Valentino One.
@JohnDuran yeah, that's confusing to me too, as I've always heard it used by those who are. I don't want to offend, so what to use?
Dear @bootiemashup Don't you want MY bad romance? *mwah*
@efng maybe they are already enlightened, but doubtful.
Saturday night. Hollywood provides.
Los Angeles: the ridiculous religious capital. Amused by scientology as compared to its more medical neighbors.
Coffee and catching up on science journals. Systems diagramming later.
I keep thinking about various snippets from my conversation with Peter Schwartz last week. One of the most profound hours of my life.
@lucindamichele right now catching up on my stack of Nature's. :)

Writing up interview notes with one very inspiring Peter Schwartz. I'm feeling the challenge to do the good work.

@rossdawson That's a real slippery slope. Good futures work takes knowledge and training.
@rossdawson good futures work includes a systematic understanding of the impact and implications of changes in many categories (STEEP).
@rossdawson most futurists who just call themselves futurists, do not take a complete view of the future, nor have awareness of their biases
@rossdawson this leads to bad futures work, which gives the entire industry a bad name.

@SarahM I am partial to Tomato Pie on Melrose/Fairfax. Great after the swap meet. (Warning: it's the opposite end of Mozza fancy scale)
Wow! Had no idea there were so many (silent) sentence diagramming lovers out there. (You know who you are! *mwah*)
@kevinmarks Those are perfectly acceptable sentences - when translated into Latin! (Yes I took Latin.)
@kevinmarks Troianus dubius erat,at subito mirum signum a Cytherea matre ei datum est: .... (first line)
Of course, as a poet, the only point of sentence diagramming was to disrupt it! #disrupt #poetry
@SarahM also Bossa Nova (Brazilian place) and Jones on Santa Monica/La Brea has an amazing truffle pizza concoction. Enjoy!
@diskgrinder you excel in wit!
@lucindamichele :) I completely agree. (And it's one of the reasons I studied Latin.)
@rossdawson so why not work to change client discernment and have a correct understanding of real valid futures work?
.@rossdawson saying anyone can say they are a futurist dilutes the value real professionals bring, decreasing future futures work.
@rossdawson a reinforcing death spiral for the futures industry with the net negative results less real useful practical long term thinking
@rossdawson as you can tell, this is a topic I care deeply about. :) Happy to dialog for improvement and understanding for all.

@jenjarratt re: 10k vs 100 followers: NO WAY! Some people not on twitter have more influence than those on it. #futrchat
YES! RT @jenjarratt: Maybe next months topic can be the future of power? Big one. #futrchat
@ebonstorm I like that! The glamorizing of elitism. I work to make me/my stuff as accessible as possible. #futrchat
@mhbx no one with power ever wants to relinquish it. #futrchat
@kristinalford @justinpickard What I am _is_ what I do. :) Both are hard to explain. ;) #futrchat
@kristinalford @justinpickard Oh wait, I just got it... You're on! :)
RT @ebonstorm: Having empty power of 1 million "friends" has no value if you don't connect to them. A pile of bullets w/ no gun. #futrchat

@danperezfilms A good friendsip is hard to find. #futrchat
Really great hour all! Thanks everyone! Loved new and old voices. #futrchat
RT @justinpickard: Never been more thankful for my ability to touch type. #futrchat
@OwenGreaves I will be there. #futrchat
@Jamesbedell I gotcha on there! :)
@Urbanverse I'll take the mega word doc! :) (Do you have the Futureof$ transcript too?) Pls!
@OwenGreaves I'd love to! I'm speaking on the Best of Houston Futures panel on my Future of Trans research. #futrchat
RT @guyyeomans: Have a great Easter break everyone and follow @profuturists for details of May's #futrchat
@OwenGreaves I have not, and have not attended before. It should be interesting! What is your topic?
@OwenGreaves Nice!
@CanalMercer Sure! Also... you into a possibly July NYC pow-wow ab $$$$?????
Great job hosting @justinpickard & @guyyeomans, @jenjarratt & @Urbanverse excellent future chat!
@OwenGreaves well then, I guess you will kick ass and blow our minds! ;)
@OwenGreaves No pressure. So I have a Q. Are you seeing a trend away from virtual/local dispersed companies? e.g. under same roof?
@OwenGreaves As long as you're not building your slidedeck the day before in the speaker's lounge. Sat next to sm1 doing that at last conf
@OwenGreaves so you see a trend/reversal to small companies all under the same roof? not working virtually?
@OwenGreaves cool. well can't wait to meet you/hear your thoughts on FofBiz and chat. :) Vancouver then!
@OwenGreaves I only ask, bc I noticed some "traditional" .com CEOs trying to bring everyone under 1 roof. I think it's wrong move.
@OwenGreaves cheers!
@mhbx sorry! Our convo got a bit lost... trying to catch it back up!
@OwenGreaves That's what I thought!
I'm feeling the need to upgrade to dual computers with multiple screens for daily use...
@apperceptions Cool! Thanks!
Super excited for #BarcampLA8. We just got another sponsor so breakfast is now covered! cc @barcampla Thank YOU! @llangit

If you missed yesterday's #futrchat on The Future of Relationships, @kristinalford has a great recap: http://sfy.co/5No
"Don't you realize the things we did were all for real / not a dream / I just can't believe / They've all faded out of view." #lyrics #ELO
I feel more and more like selective collective borgs with project collaborators. #wecreatei
There are few things so awesome that I'll wait in a line. Now, Robyn Hitchcock, 1991 in Hamburg's red light district is a different story.
RT @jmspool: OH: "EmpireAvenue is Hot-or-Not, made to look like a stock market."
RT @danger_ranger: Any sufficiently advanced civilization capable of interstellar travel will have evolved beyond it's motivation to do so.
Going off and to find yourself is an excuse for doing the hard work at home. You can do it anywhere.
Over the weekend I mindmapped my almost 30 years of esoteric/spiritual knowledge acquisition/internalization. Fitting for easter, I spose.
@gregorylent please don't mistakenly group us all together in one pile. We are an increasing complex culture.
RT @zander: Long Now graffiti artists strike again. Anyone else have sightings? http://blog.longnow.org/2011/02/25/long-now-graffiti/
@zander Love the mixing of cultural values in Long Now graffiti. :)
The ELO soft rock marathon continues. Just getting in touch with my inner sensitive man.
@gregorylent Embarrassed is not the emotion I feel about it. It is like many appalling things one has no control over. (begin flaming now)
@vandenboomen Yes! Surprised in how much I have in my head. And that I have internalized.
@linne :). I think its gonna end up as a personal book of "wisdom" and otherwise recipe book for enlightenment. No platitudes!
@linne :)
@vandenboomen hmmm... I will think about it. Not sure I want to share all of it publicly. I've gone far out there.

I'm looking for b/w line drawing tattoo artists in LA. Thanks for your suggestions!
Does procrastinating homework with other homework count for both GTD and structured procrastination? #contrarianness
RT @jozjozjoz: How is it 5:30 already?! Seriously I want my workday back.
Hiya @dfischer! :) @deadprogram said I should ask you about awesome b/w line drawing tattooists! I need one.

I love Los Angeles. Hike to throne tree w/ Dog as my copilot in convertible top down little fluffy clouds on the sound system sunset blvd.
@ilainie so, where you gonna be in ~3 weeks? I'm feeling the need for some air travel.
@HYJYNX gotta see it to believe it. :)
Dear @empireave, I want to decide how and which variables to weigh. ps. then add dating matching algo. DM 4more future scenario options. :)
ps @empireave - dating matching algo is NOT for dating, but values matching. Then I'll be impressed. :)

@damnedgoodesign sorry! (or you're welcome) whichever applies!
Bushwacking in the Hollywood Hills filled w/ blooming sage, yellow daisies, bees, hummingbirds. Found a swing hanging from live oak grove.
No, I don't consider kickstarter or Mturk to be true collaboration. They still utilize leader/follower mentality #futureofcollaboration 4mjb
