checking ping.fm, second try

From the moment they wake…they devote themselves to the perfection of whatever they pursue.
I have never seen such discipline.
I am surprised to learn that the word “Samurai” means “to serve”…

What does it mean to be Samurai?
To devote yourself utterly to a set of moral principles…
…to seek a stillness of your mind…
…and to master the way of the sword.

There is so much here that I’ll never understand.
…I cannot but be aware of its power.

Shame for a life of service?
Discipline? Compassion?
The way of the Samurai is not necessary anymore.
Necessary?
What could be more necessary?

I think a man does what he can…until his destiny is revealed.

I’ve tried to give a true accounting of what I have seen, what I have done.
I do not presume to understand the course of my life.
I know I am grateful to have partaken of all this…even if for a moment.

The quotes of The Last Samurai movie

I found this Youtube video when I was discovering what a Mac is all about and how it can be used in the most effective way. And I thought Wow, this is one of the most good educational videos I’ve ever seen.

This is the very quick 5 minutes, detailed overview of the LaunchBar software program. The main features are shown and at the same time everything is very easy to understand.
This is an excellent video for experienced users cause I guess newbies won’t be interested in this product at all.

Only 5 minutes of quick, detailed, easy to understand presentation that can’t be memorized from the first view, but which gives a very good overview of the product and detailed information at the same time. If a user will be interested then he or she will watch this video a couple of times more to catch everything .

This is MP3-cut from the excellent Timothy Ferriss book 4-Hour Workweek. This MP3 is about… yes Why learning foreign tongue is so important?

I don’t expect this blog to be very popular right now, and I guess broken copyright laws won’t be a big problem. Anyway the concepts from the book are very essential.

People!
My name is… whatever my name is. I’m beginning my blog and this is my first post. Somehow later I’ll figure out what is my name.

I never thought about having a blog until I found that it’s very cool to collect stuff I like utmost. This stuff begins to be a part of me, it begins to be somehow the structure and essentials or even essense of my world inside. It gives me a picture of what/who am I and what do I love and what is the world I’m creating does really look like.

First discovering of that phenomenon was when I started to collect Youtube videos right in the cloud. Some time later I noticed that all the videos, channels that I’ve saved/created and all my subscriptions actually represents the things I am most interested in, my life philosophy, my lifestyle, interests, etc. And it gave that clear picture from which I discovered this new perspective on collectiong stuff.

Then I found iTunes, started to create the real neat music library. And wow! That’s the awesomeness, coolness, that IS exciting and inspiring stuff.

I heavily collect all the best, the utmost needed notes/knowledge/info/whatever with M$ OneNote to help to do my job in its widest and deepest meaning or I may say “job in its larger context”. But there was no that “look and feel” that can give a blog with its themes and other features. And also I really want to store some of my stuff in the Internet cloud.

And the last and probably the one of the most important key reasons I’m doing my blog is to practice and develop my English speaking skills. I fell in love with this language. And the more I learn the more I adore it. It gives me so much that I can’t even describe it in few words. But wait, I can. Imagine that for some reason in the near future there will be no computers, Internet and even books. How will you be feeling? This way I’ll be feeling without my English. And so and now this blog will be my epic battle field in gaining new heights of mastering hunky-dory super English. Get ready!)
