hunger games

by suzanne collins

reading hunger games... my so many correlations..
is this thinking part of the movement?

p. 87.. how empty the house felt.. even from a distance..

p. 111... that's the first time I'd seen him smile. it transformed him to someone menacing.. to some one you wished you knew...

p. 123.. remember they already love you.. just be yourself..

p. 174... energized by renewed fear (disgust)
p. 175... there's no time to judge if a. move is the correct one. when there's a hiss, I act or die

p. 179.. pity does not get you aid. admiration at your refusal to give up does.

p. 208.. people that have it good.. are at a disadvantage.. they don't know how to be hungry

p. 212.. by lunch we have a plan..by early afternoon we are poised to carry it out

p. 204.. elements of expertise from unlikely people.. here - rue and her noticing abilities.. starting to carry over to katniss
p. 209..  more expertise - boy from district 3 who sets up the mines
p. 220.. katniss knows there is a solution .. makes herself focus  - there is a solution to this, i know there is, if i can only focus hard enough
p. 236.. don't hate the people hate the capital.. peeta - think of a way to show the capital they don't own me. that i'm more than ust a piece in their game
p. 238 - rue's connection to birds.. our connection to everything.., ray, i am
p. 239 - district 11 giving gift to district 12 - this is how we can make change happen.. boldness together, reaching past supposed barrier
p. 240.. when she feels unable, she sees prim watching her, and can't not go on, then to jump start herself,.. katness talking to herself - detox
p. 241... no longer running.. no longer defense.. katness to cato - i'm right here.. waiting.

p. 242.. katness believes she can win.. and it's not about knowledge or skill, it's about her connections.. to people. esp rue at that point
p. 311 - most of my life has been consumed by the acquisition of food, take that away and i'm not really sure who i am
p.354 ..  everything was about them,  not the dying boys and girls i the arena


oh my. now reading catch fire..
wasn't going to add notes here.. i was just going to read..
but p. 100..
what about the families.. the ones that can't run away.. this isn't just about saving us anymore (and I hear charters and et al screaming in my head) a
p. 111... when a sick or dying person is brought to her.. this is the only time i think my mother knows who she is
p. 122... i can't let the capital hurt prim.. and then it hits me. they already have. (let's wake up and listen to the youth around us.. to everyone.. what is more of a risk..? playing it safe is certainly not boding us well.)
p. 143... the disbelief of the chronically hungry..
p. 144... discontent was always there, of course, to some degree. but shat differed was that talk was no longer sufficient, ad the idea of taking action went from a wish toa reality
p. 205.. cinna - don't worry. i always channel my emotions into my work. that way i don't hurt anyone but myself
p. 253 - the mockingjay has come to symbolize so much more...  and i'm suddenly so afraid for him. what has he done? something terribly dangerous. and act of rebellion in itself.... don't worry i always channel my emotion sin to my work. that way i don't hurt anyone but myself.
p. 257 - how real are the tears? s this an acknowledgment that he has been stalked by the same fears i have? that every victor has? every parent in every district in panem?
p. 258 - and then it happens.. the vistors begin to join hands..an unbroken line.. first public show of unity among the districts since the dark days

and now.. mockingjay
p. 5 - some walks you have to take alone
p. 23 - re: in the arena. caesar - it costs your life. peeta - oh, no. it costs a lot more than your life. to murder innocent people. it costs everything you are.
p. 28 - i've got someone to tell my secrets to again.
p. 36 - in many ways, district 13 is even more controlling than the capital [is this not what's happening in ed..? ie: waiver of nclb has more rules perhaps, and worse.. we're believing it's a setting free]
p. 90 - [this was probably one of the hardest pages for me to read in all 3 books. the most real. these hospice type goings on. all of us - talking to teachers and kids that feel like there is no way out, they have no choice - ] - the damage, the fatigue, the imperfections, that's how they recognize me, why i belong to them. i begin to fully understand the lengths to which people have gone to protect me. what i mean to the rebels. my ongoing struggle against the capitol, which has so often felt like a solitary journey, has not been undertaken alone. i have had thousands upon thousands of people from the districts at my side.
p. 110 - therefore, his worth is not defined by a single element.... [so he focuses less on the single victories or failures]
p. 126 - i decide not to judge him without knowing more details  [chimamanda - the danger of just one story]
p. 241- all around the dining hall, you can feel the rejuvenating effect that a good meal can bring on. the way it can make people kinder, funnier, more optimistic, and remind them.... it's not a mistake to go on living. it's better than any medicine.

howard rheingold

ah Howard. what a great book. thank you.
dang. 2003.


a lovely mix (in my mind) of pesce and kelly and ward




















some of my fav parts:

his note to Judy and Mamie - w/o you what's the point

love watching people.. figuring them out.. indulging in ongoing curiosities about them.. so reading all his ventures was lovely. his attention toward people.. refreshing.

smart mob - people wo are able to act in concert even if they don't know each other

these devices will help people coordinate actions w/others around the world - and, perhaps more importantly w/people nearby (resonate w/a quiet revolution, city as floorplan)

mobiles - not just a way to do old things while moving, a way to do things that couldn't be done before.

not just about building tools, but what we use the tools to do.

he described my node/net moment in nyc on p 2.

cell - as remote control for your life 

helps you to live in rhythm with others

60's - self interest = public good - are we there again?  p. 48

copyleft - like paper tape in mit drawer

the person has become the portal  (networked individualism)  p.57

like going put on your x-d glasses:

p. 60: when network aimed at broadcast - linear; when transaction between individual nodes - squared; when it includes ways to form groups - exponential

machines have no business sleeping

genius of naptster - no altruistic sharing motives need be present, ... sharing is the default..  p. 72

via doctorow - relevance switching: creating own self-udatig map of net by querying the social networks of people who share  your interests  p. 77

mesh.. p, 80 - sheep shit grass, every user provisions the resource he consumes

detox app .. p. 87 - tech help you to know what you need to know and helps connect you to groups that would benefit you and you can benefit

p. 100 - making it possible to click on the real world and expert something to happen, 5 bill codes scanned, and from 2003, detox app thinking so doable, no?

p. 102 - chips in air - happening yet?

gershenfeld - the real promise of connecting computers is to free people, by embedding the means to solve problems in the things around us

people who trust each other inherit each other's webs of trust.

hiding crap is the easy part. the real achievement is finding quality.

reputation/transparency/surveillance - induces people to police themselves..

kept talking about people finding loopholes.. made me think of bud's post today

p. 132 - marc smith - if people who can provide one another with a needed good or service can easily find one another and get assurances and recourse so that they can trust one another , a wealth of pent-up value can be released.

new to me  802.11b means - wireless cards...

wifi popping up in expensive coffee shops

ch 6 - wireless quilts - want kosta to see

telecommunications spent 150 bill in late 1990's (so now don't want it to be free?)

if one thing unites the disparate wifi activists, it's the conviction that they are asserting a right to a public good

check out video of colonel dave hughes (from colorado - co city) - wifi on indian reservations

lessig on machiavelli - innovation makes enemies of all those who prospered under the old regime, and only lukewarm support is forthcoming from those who would prosper under the new  p. 155

kelly - how do humans exhibit emergent behavior?

p. 179 - Bernardo Humberman, collective intelligence, emergence

p. 194 - Maenpaa - places and times are not planned in advance; rather people agree (or just understand without further mention) to call "when they get there." this makes life less bound, since it is possible to arrange each day according to the events it brings about.

i love this... perpetual beta.. always in the now.. shift on thinking of time

p. 195 - barry wellman - networked individualism.. it is easier for individuals to connect with multiple social milieux, with limited involvement in each one, which in turn diminishes the control each milieu exercises over the individual and decreases its commitment to the individual's welfare. people switch fluidly from network to netwrok, using their communication media to contact the social network needed for each moment..

i love this as well.. diminishes the control..

p. 196 - love this as well - the presence of those who are absent...

p. 200 - joseph weizenbaum - ai, 1976

p. 202 - how ubiquitous mobile internet access and info embedded in places might reshape cities

p. 212 - howard: i have used the term "smart mobs" because i believe the time is right to combine conscious cooperation , the fun kind, with the unconscious reciprocal altruism that is rooted in our genes.

our choice..          what we know and what we do matters...

remove fear of failure.. impossible things become possible

the fear of failure confines you and life gets dull.

sure good things happen, but amazing things stop happening.

"What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?" asks Regina Dugan, then director of DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. In this breathtaking talk she describes some of the extraordinary projects -- a robotic hummingbird, a prosthetic arm controlled by thought, and, well, the internet -- that her agency has created by not worrying that they might fail.

Alec and Dean led that conversation at Educon

open access journals- not the norm for most univ professors

 - tax payers are paying double for this.. and we're hiding info people could use

open access - pay if you like, don't if you can't
so knowledge flow is free, people can still make money, money doesn't come directly from content
value comes from what you give away - rheingold - attention is the one thing we have little of.. the more you give away - the more attention you get

when pursuing passion.. money takes on a different role, ie: don't need same standard of living because i love what i'm doing   -

not the content.. the experience (mooc - an event)

steve collis - most audacious classroom

could agency start to overrule compliance?
agreed - sense of networks is new..

once the institutions tinker with this networking too much..lose the essence.

why vegas to  Hsieh: The good times in Vegas, when it seemed like money was falling off of trees, I think caused people to chase something that ultimately wasn't able to bring them long-lasting happiness.

1. the best teaching prepares people for uncertainty (core pieces of rhizomatic learning)
edtechtalk -

not teaching people what's right and what's wrong - but preparing for uncertainty

how do you do this on purpose..?
no pre-established curriculum

how does it scale?
stop measuring...
not possible to measure learning...

so love the stop measuring learning. but how do we measure effort, et al? perhaps stop measuring (period). no? spaces of permission where we have nothing to prove.

community as curriculum.. how are the people around you doing.. no?

play

via bud on his week in tweets:
So playing well with others requires knowledge of boundaries and constraints. And the ability to decide when to fiddle with them. #

boundaries and constraints.. curious if we focus too much on them and less on knowledge of a person, getting to know a person.
perhaps they are one and the same.

in ed.. i do believe we focus too much on boundaries and constraints.. i'm thinking because it's such a mass of people. and many of them are not choosing to be in certain spaces.


just very curious - what would happen if we left people alone.. to be free.. would we settle in to a more humane play.. in a more timely fashion..?

i know we haven't seen that in ie: school, but i'm thinking that's because we haven't really practiced free-ness.

krishnamurti.. partial freedom is no freedom.
i'm thinking of spaces where no one feels they have to prove anything.
or no one thinks it's a trick and if they fall for it.. this time of being free.. they'll have to pay for it later.. by more work or a lower grade or .. ?


very curious...

goldie hawn

found hawnfoundation via this article tweeted by Kes.. ah the connections..
and i started looking into her mindup

and found this article on goldie by the same author of the movie -
About the Author: Ingrid Wickelgren is an editor at Scientific American Mind, but this is her personal blog at which, at random intervals, she shares the latest reports, hearsay and speculation on the mind, brain and behavior. Follow on Twitter @iwickelgren.

wondering.. is it not that everything is new.. it's more that we don't take more time to talk.. share? imagine if we spent our days.. the work/school part of our days - pursuing things such as this... connecting people about things such as this.
incredible things keep happening on the side. what if they were the center. what if the center is now the center of the edge..

i remember growing up with goldie on - dang can't think of the name of it - but a go-go show. and i can remember my impression of her was happy. kind.
love reading a bit more about her.

if so many of us really believe in quality of life and happiness.. let's do more about it, no? not just after hours.

life's too short.
no?

the-disadvantages-of-an-elite-education

If one of the disadvantages of an elite education is the temptation it offers to mediocrity, another is the temptation it offers to security. When parents explain why they work so hard to give their children the best possible education, they invariably say it is because of the opportunities it opens up. But what of the opportunities it shuts down? An elite education gives you the chance to be rich—which is, after all, what we’re talking about—but it takes away the chance not to be. 

What happens when busyness and sociability leave no room for solitude? The ability to engage in introspection, I put it to my students that day, is the essential precondition for living an intellectual life, and the essential precondition for introspection is solitude. They took this in for a second, and then one of them said, with a dawning sense of self-awareness, “So are you saying that we’re all just, like, really excellent sheep?” Well, I don’t know. But I do know that the life of the mind is lived one mind at a time: one solitary, skeptical, resistant mind at a time. The best place to cultivate it is not within an educational system whose real purpose is to reproduce the class system.

..The kid who’s loading up on AP courses junior year or editing three campus publications while double-majoring, the kid whom everyone wants at their college or law school but no one wants in their classroom, the kid who doesn’t have a minute to breathe, let alone think, will soon be running a corporation or an institution or a government. She will have many achievements but little experience, great success but no vision. The disadvantage of an elite education is that it’s given us the elite we have, and the elite we’re going to have.

WHAT IS THE SECRET of successful charter schools, those that consistently record high standardized test scores?

Note: wait.. a defn of success we should all be questioning.. before we start swimming in the secret.. no?

so - i just finished Diane's book 

and boy did it rile me up. perhaps the kindle for ipad is not such a good idea for me.. i'm a write in the margin as i read person.. and i find myself doing that on the kindle.. via twitter. 

well - caught in the moments.. i'm sure my tweets may reek of disrespect to Diane. if so - i want to clarify here... i'm riled about a system we need to change, a conversation in desperate need of change, and the story she tells, the facts she shares, amped that. 

lately i've been repulsed by my own boldness, crassness, outspokenness.

i'm calling myself on it.. and struggling with it..  

it doesn't feel like the me i'm used to.

but i do feel a responsibility to change things up. 

i see us spending so much time/money/energy - and people - working toward a goal - that i don't think any/most of us desire. i think too many of us are just in the carry-on phase. too busy to breathe even, let alone notice the passivity we've gotten ourselves into.

one major thing i think we're missing:

via Michael cling an on fb


highlights to me.. great read..

Scientists have determined that people in a relaxed state and a good mood are far more likely to develop innovative or creative thoughts. ..

At 3M, every engineer has an hour a day to do whatever they want: whether that's work on a side project or simply tinker with a hobby.

EnlargeNina Subin

Jonah Lehrer has written two books about the brain: How We Decide and Proust Was a Neuroscientist, in which he argues that Marcel Proust was decades ahead of science when it comes to understanding how the brain works.

"It doesn't have to be directly relevant, they don't have to justify it to their boss — all they have to do is promise to share it with their colleagues," says Lehrer. "This sends an important message early on: we've hired you, we think you're smart, we trust you, we trust you to find solutions, you manage your time in your own way."

 a little bit sad or melancholy — comes with some cognitive benefits. ...

and..

as we get older, as we get tenure in a field, we become invested in the status quo. We develop habitual ways of thinking, routines, we develop customs in terms of how we solve problems. Those make our lives a little bit easier, they make it easier to apply for grants. They make our days a little more efficient but they also make it harder to think outside the box."

can you see a quiet revolution..?
redefining school ..changing a person, a community, ... ou city...?

get restless till you do... no..?

presentation mode

routine - you get better at things, you work toward that 10,000 hours to become expert

chaos - you get better at you, imagine 10,000 hours at practicing vulnerability in context.. swimming in the moment, taking life in, as is, listening, not missing it

[huge scene for me in hook - i can't remember who tells who.. but they say - you're missing it.. ]

for me this resonates with swimming. i love being underwater.. i feel immersed, like in no pretenses, and free, like i have nothing to prove, i just am. when you get a second wind at something, and you just feel like you could go on forever, addicting almost...

[thank you amanda]
interesting that presentation mode doesn't work in hangouts.
hangouts are closer to what i've been craving.. those intimate virtual convos. where presentation doesn't exist, but rather community and conversation.

here's to not missing it, to breathing life in.
to forgetting about any presentation, but rather - simply being present.

Howard Rheingold: Knowing How to Collaborate Is Essential.to.pbs.org/GYOUih

Rheingold: Attention is the fundamental instrument we use for learning, thinking, communicating, deciding, yet neither parents nor schools spend any time helping young people learn how to manage information streams and control the ways they deploy their attention.

The political public sphere, citizen science, crowdsourcing and crowdfunding, open-source production, emergent collective response to disaster, the blogosphere -- many capabilities and institutions that didn't exist a few years ago are now wielding computational, economic, political and cultural power, not because of top-down planning by big government or big corporations but by the active participation of billions of people. 

Knowing the importance of participation and how to participate has suddenly become not only an individual survival skill but a key to large-scale social change.
Knowing how to participate is just the first step. Knowing how to collaborate has become essential to individuals who want to succeed in the 21st century and to the health of the culture that is emerging. 

Collective intelligence, virtual communities, smart mobs, crowdsourcing, social production, peer learning are distinctly different forms of collaboration that have sprung up now that every desktop and every pocket is a potential printing press, broadcasting station, marketplace, community forum, political organizing force.

thinking today about zappos et al.
thinking about what we're doing.


thinking about the book/pamphlet..

this is really about..
changing a community (a person, a city, a world) by redefining school.

so what do we do when they share that.. we critique it.. perhaps to someone then having a breakdown, because they were misunderstood..


we have to start assuming good will.


assume good will


we are wasting time and money and people.
we are wasting people.


when the doors are closed and the cameras are off it's tough ... but that's what makes us..

when the doors are closed and the cameras are off..

what is your dance?

that is what makes you extraordinary

mimi: if people don't learn how to learn.. we're just really in trouble

connie: we are fundamentally starting with the wrong questions.. ie: what's the material they need to cover. it doesn't almost matter who the kid is.
question: what's the experience you want the kid to have.. then you have to pay attention to the kid.
we've forgotten that we actually have a passion for learning
school is a node in the network of learning.
it's a work in progress that should never be finished.
