Alan Watts breaks down what's wrong with the world - Part 1 (1970)

Alan Watts breaks down what's wrong with the world - Part 1 & 2 (1970)

The very wise Alan Watts breaks down what's wrong with the world at large, and does so back in 1970! His foreshadowing of the manipulation of the food supply through high yield crops is eery and so very true (i.e., Monsanto and their Ready Roundup crops).

He proposes a number of things we can do to change our attitudes towards life and the planet. I'm sorry to say he would be greatly disappointed if he were alive today, however we still have a chance to set things right and fulfill Watts' dream of unity, peace, and love.

Mapping out the IANA transition

The U.S. Commerce Department announcement that it will end its unilateral control of the DNS root stimulated a great deal of debate and discussion during the Singapire ICANN meeting March 21 – 27. Thanks to the IGP proposal, structural separation of ICANN and IANA is a much-discussed option in the transition.

The country code registry for New Zealand, InternetNZ, has contributed additional value to this debate. It has prepared a set of diagrams that map out just what activities and functions are part of current governance arrangements for the domain name system. It shows what IANA, ICANN, the NTIA and Verisign actually do. Related functions are neatly grouped into boxes. The InternetNZ diagrams show how various approaches to the IANA transition would parcel out those functions to various entities. InternetNZ thus provides us with a very useful guide to the IANA transition. The 9-page document, which is must reading for anyone interested in the IANA transition,

Waterwalker

This feature-length documentary follows naturalist Bill Mason on his journey by canoe into the Ontario wilderness. The filmmaker and artist begins on Lake Superior, then explores winding and sometimes tortuous river waters to the meadowlands of the river's source. Along the way, Mason paints scenes that capture his attention and muses about his love of the canoe, his artwork and his own sense of the land.

Mason also uses the film as a commentary on the link between God and nature and the vast array of beautiful canvases God created for him to paint. Features breathtaking visuals and exciting whitewater footage, with a musical score by Bruce Cockburn.
