These are listed in order of their most recent publication rather than their original publication dates as Amazon has never understood the value of including first edition dates. Dave Buck merits huge appreciation for having instigated a movement to place many of Buckminster Fuller's works back into a visible platform such as Amazon provides….and reasonably priced as well — each of these is a public treasure. We have added, below the line, books related to Buckminster Fuller, by others. We strongly recommend use of the reviews before making any purchase.

CA “SHORTHAND” WORDS/PHRASES

(38 total) 5/30/12

As with all our pursuits, this document intends to help peel back layers of specific cultural misinformation conditioning/distortion/manipulation that has essentially forced our culture into behaviors quite opposite of natural/healthy choices that would otherwise be made, spontaneously. These phrases are sort of our “jargon” to simplify communication, understanding, and design elements, as we move toward trying to be a part of a movement to ultimately meet all needs, do no harm. (NOTE: Some of these may be distinct WIN perspectives/paraphrasing’s, yet, in no way suggest creation or being proprietary . . .) In alphabetical order (unless attributed to others, should be considered a Bucky phrase):

Howard Rheingold: beginner’s guide to tool (s) leveraging the Internet

IO Tools

Automating repetitive processes, including those you use to seek, filter, tag, store, and retrieve information, can be a useful infotention practice. I've Scooped IFTTT before. This blog post is by social media management service Buffer, so the examples are Buffer-centric, but any of these automation tools can be applied to a variety of platforms, services, and practices.

The beginner’s guide to putting the internet to work for you: How to easily save 60 minutes every day

Written by

One of the most fun and useful things I’ve been doing lately is automating small processes I do all the time. It took me a while to work up the courage to dive into automation, as it always seemed like a really difficult, technical thing to do, which should be left to programmers.

Luckily, there are lots of tools being created lately to make automation much easier for those of us without a solid understanding of how our computers really work.

Sometimes repetition is good for us – for instance, when it comes to developing new skills. But rote tasks don’t serve much purpose. Every time I noticed myself doing tasks over and over now, I try to find a way to automate it the same way we create social media shortcuts at Buffer. And when I do, it feels amazing to watch my computer doing stuff for me, or to see files and text show up in the right places at the right times, as if by magic.

I bet if you really pay attention, you’ll pick up a few small tasks you do all the time. It might be copying and pasting links to previous blog posts you’ve written (I have an example for how to automate that below), adding up specific numbers, visiting the same websites every day or another element of your daily routine. Maybe some of these tools can help.

Jean Lievens: The Purpose Economy

The Purpose Economy 100 was created by Imperative in partnership with CSRWire to celebrate the pioneers who are driving the evolution of our economy from one based on information to one based on people and their quest for purpose. The list was compiled based on hundreds of nominations across the country. At the early stages of this economic shift, we felt the best way to capture it was through the stories of its pioneers, celebrating them and inspiring new leaders of the emerging Purpose Economy. View the list as an infographic or interactive profiles below. Later this year we will be releasing international editions of the list.
