Bring back the real Christmas (batteries not included)
I just read an article in the Wall Street Journal called "Online Retail: Dead or Just Resting". What I found funny about this article was a comment someone wrote in lamenting the demise of Christmas as Christmas. No this wasn't a some Christian suggesting we put Christ back into Christ-mas. It was someone reminiscing about the days of yore when Shopping Malls cared. They actually put tinsel up in the parking lot, and had real christmas music playing! Now all you see are plastic santas and experience the same shopping experience as any other day. Oh the irony of commercializing. Don't these capitalists know you need to differentiate the capitalist experience otherwise people will be unhappy. Bring back the real Santa, bring back real (canned) Christmas music, bring back the holiday bustle of shopping in Bricks and Mortar. Please, please won't some corporate mogul get a sentimental, nostalgic feeling for shopping of days gone by and bring back the tinsel in the parking lot!

Loving Kindness
I went to hear Sharon Salzberg lecture this evening. I am just realizing now the impact the evening has had on me. A room of 300 or more people all meditating on every sentient beings happiness, peace and contentment, freedom from suffering and experience of loving kindness. I am feeling the love. I can only imagine those who are doing the whole weekend are going to be on fire afterward!

New Business Model for Publishing?
Over at www.concordfreepress.com a free-conomy model with a twist. Here is what they have to say about it:
Our first book—Give and Take by novelist Stona Fitch—is out and circulating through the world. We're distributing 1,500 copies free via online requests and our network of independent bookstores. In return, we ask readers to make a voluntary donation to a charity or someone in need. And we ask them to pass the book on, so that every time the book changes hands, it generates more contributions.
"The nonprofit publishing house Concord Free Press operates on an unusual Robin Hood-style publishing model."–Los Angeles Times
