Hey! guess what? I'm your very first post. Pretty cool right? Like what you have going on here.

Re: Hank - We are going to have a on-line Birthday Party for Jordan today. Let's get started by seeing who's coming to the party. I would encourage everyone to Log in and make their own com...

Chiming in from work this afternoon. All is quiet on the streets of SF (it must be game day ;-)

Memories of Jordan on his Birthday early this morning. Get your wings big guy - you always were an angel.

Jordan.... Dude! your killing me with that shirt. I'm sure this photo was taken right about the same time you called me a poser for listening to "this is it", so I'm calling the kettle black and saying I don't care. Good music is good music, which is something I feel you grew to understand. I wonder if you ever caught this B-side?? Aloha - http://youtube.com/watch?v=...

OK. I must have been about 21 in this picture here myself. Had I known that there would be such a thing as the internet to exploit such a hairstyle I would have been a bit more camera shy. ;P

sp ck: daemon?? this must be the way the Greeks spelled it.

>Lorri. You are somebody who has taught me what it means to have *real* strength in dealing with a loved ones passing. I'm just lucky enough to mirror this back to you.

Re: How has Social Media Changed Your Life?

Brad Coy — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 05:02:33 -0000

I will just go ahead and count myself as one of the "countless others" you've met ;)

Jacob, a lot of what you shared here with regards to changes I have experience myself. There is no better way to grow and learn then through reaching out and connecting with peers and contributing and asking questions. For this, I am ever building in skills that help me in a huge way every day. The support is a great deal of importance as well. I feel that I have a strong support team that I can always bounce ideas off of at will . Having the courage to take chances as well as being around others who do as well allow me to strengthen my will.

My favorite change you listed here is "I have become a better listener both online and off line" This has to be one of the most important lessons of all with social media. If we can become better listeners, then anything is possible.

>Don’t let anybody tell you no, and don’t let anybody get in the way of your dreams and your goals. If you want something go get it.

Great point. I love the positivity in this post Jacob. We all have enough to deal with when it comes to our own resistance. Let alone the resistance of the outside pressures of society and our friends and family. If you really believe in your dreams, there is no justifying them to anyone. I find that my own demons and doubts are enough to contend with, I don't need to hear about anyone's resistance to my path. No's are easy, try saying yes to success.

There is moving on. Should there be no guilt in separating yourselves from the grief to experience the other facets of life while going through these hard times. Do things that make you happy. You can have your joy with you sorrow. Get involved outside of the grieving that surrounds you. I am afraid that the blogging, going to court, etc. are keeping you attached. I could be way off base here for making these suggestions since I don't know what else is going on. But I do know that part of having compassion with yourself as well as others is by letting go. Saying goodbye is the hardest part. But let go with love.

My continued prayers and thoughts are with Alexa. Stay strong girl. This is just the beginning. Rid this from your life. The other side of it is much more interesting. Believe in what I say. I have no reason to lie to you. Change happens as inevitability whether you want it to or not. Exercise your free will in giving that change direction.

We talked about this the other day, and although I am a very poor example of it. I can say that without a doubt exercise is one of the best thing you can do for yourselves right now. It gets the blood going, the mind less active, and endorphins released is nice too. The added bonus is sleep. Sleep is nice. I have been on another run of sleep deprivation this week and I can say that it's no way to go about your day.

Marlene and Kelly. Thanks for not taking my post to be in judgment of your grieving process. There is no "right time" and the heart does need to fall in line with the head. I did think it was a good time to be reminded of something being as I am also affected by the pain of your family's loss. My thoughts were meant for Dad and Lorri as well. They come form the heart and with an understanding of my own grieving. They also come from reading these posts. The injustice of it all makes me very angry. I do hope that justice will be served in this case. I also hope for better reform in the drug laws (legal and illegal) and a greater community involvement of how drugs, alcohol, et al effect our lives. It seems that every single person I know is touched by these issues. The salt in the wound is what I am on the look out for in my sharing. A very hard line to distinguish as well. I gives me peace to know that while grieving you are all keeping a mindful practice of day to day life and not adding "suffering" to your grieving. On that note, my phone number is 415.999.3487. Listening is probably one of the best things I have to offer. If you ever need someone to listen to how you're day is going (good, bad, or other) give me a ring. Lots of love. - B

Yes, Wilco rocks! Lorri. One of my favorite bands. What a gift we have been given to have music in our lives. There is nothing like a good song to cut to the chase of the human experience.

What a great find. I love the sound of live music well done. Coldplay shines with this one, a throw back no doubt recorded after they had peaked. There is such a liberation in rock-n-roll. The escapism as well as unity can be felt. I KNOW you guys had a great time. Driving around the city.... that's another story I know ;)

Re: Don’t Spam My Twitter Feed!

Brad Coy — Fri, 09 May 2008 04:56:37 -0000

Don't pee in my twitter stream man! hehehe

Well put. I try bitting my tongue often as not to be to chatty on twitter. Not to be elitist like Obama but I don't care much for the following:

@bradcoy Good morning, how are you?
@bradcoy why?
@bradcoy did you see the email I sent you?

Another thing would be if we could somehow put a halt on twitterfeeds 5 posts at a time of flickr photos or blog posts that I'm going to catch in my reader anyway. I know I have the option to UNfollow. But I guess like all relationships with people you like -- you take the good with the bad.

Noise can be tolerated and/or shut off however. Have you seen www.twittersnooze.com yet? :)

The spam should be an interesting thing to see twitter deal with. News this week says they're taking it on.

Hey Mark,

Found your site via twitter of course. Nice work.

Solid coverage of UnChained. You are a machine. Looking forward to meeting up again sometime in the future, perhaps at REBarCamp in July.

I'm glad this is over with. Proud that you all were steadfast in your convictions and actions to see this through.

@hcoy How about scratching drug dealers off your list for good and working on the trip to the holy land of Golfers and Bagpipes? Least you not forget you're retired ;)

Nice little entry. I love these little short video examples of how and why something like Googles keyword is helpful. It's a great way to make something that I would find personally tedious, interesting. Thanks!
