I have an idea that might get us all posting more regularly, and it seems like it would be a fun learning experience. It is certainly something Brad would have enjoyed.
I look at the "Daily Confucius" and am often stumped as to what the hell is being said. I give a mild effort trying to understand, then I forget about it.
Would anyone else be interested in a forum that takes a Confucius quote and gives everyone a week to comment on what it means and how it might apply to us? After a week I will post a more educated person's analysis from somewhere on the net. No cheating and looking up what others might have to say about it before you post. It isn't a contest.
Don't humor me if you aren't interested...

Count me in
Tue, 10/21/2008 - 5:28amI would like to try it. It would be good "exercise" for my brain, and I am on here every day anyhow. I typed quite a few of those things on here and I agree, sometimes they are, well, odd? But yes, count me in!

Probably requires a new section...
Tue, 10/21/2008 - 1:56pmIf we will be doing this weekly, it will swamp all other posts. This will make it appear that the website only discusses Confucius quotes. Can you make a separate blog section for these discussions?

Sometimes a cigar..
Sat, 10/25/2008 - 5:58pmI'd still be a random poster, but I think the threaded forum is truly needed for this website.
I heard or read something once that struck me, because I, too, have a tendency to overanalyze. - I don't remember exactly, but it's something like:
Don't overlook the obvious in search of the deeper meaning.
or to put it another way, "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

How about a forum?
Wed, 10/22/2008 - 12:03amIf you're not familiar with the concept check out my other site here:
Media PC Forums
Might ne a good way to do it. It's better for threaded conversations, I think, then a blog. I could probably figure out a way to have the latest items in a block on the side.
How would you feel about widening this page to accomodate another column if needed?

Good Idea
Wed, 10/22/2008 - 4:52amI think it would be an idea. I know we need to find somewhere to put this. This forum, can it "house" other things also? Like if we end up with an ongoing health food thing and we know it, is that what that is for?
As far as widening the page, that is fine. We seem to be needing the space. But somehow we must not lose the stickers, we love the stickers.
I love this site and the many things it is doing for us. It might different things for different people, but it is awesome. I still do and always will, appreciate everything you do for this. My ship would have sank a long time ago if I was sailing it. Thanks Sam.
