- 15:21 My getting-follower-strategy: Posting consistent&relevant tweets rel to my key tags & follow those sharing biases! (shared in next tweet) #
- 15:29 My biases #entrepreneurship #innovation #creativity #sustainability - in short #sustainopreneurship (related to WHAT?) #
- 15:31 My biases part 2: #creativity #networking #collaboration #socialmedia #branding #identity (related to HOW?) #
- 15:33 My biases part 3: #poverty #globalwarming #illiteracy #health (sustainability-related challenges etc.) - (related to WHY?) #
- 15:35 My energy sources: #love (Nadine, Karin, Wendy :) #peace (inner > outer) #aikido #qigong #yoga #music #edm (DJ Anders! www.djanders.info :) #
(see my daily tweet roundup aggregation below).
I will now use these as to guide me on which tweeple to follow :) !
Using http://twitter.com/wefollow @wefollow user-generated directory, I have added #entrepreneurship #innovation #sustainability as my three key tags (bold). Together? Well, yes - #sustainopreneurship :).
Now I thought - it would be great to see directly in search - who shares ALL these three tags? Hope wefollow will add that feature! Yes, there are some twitter directories out there (I am at Twellow as well), but I think the wefollow experiment is interesting. Just launched some days ago. And skyrocketing according to http://twittercounter.com/wefollow/month with a hockey stick look! Obviously I am not the only one finding them interesting!
Anyways - I will sift through those sharing my main tags, and expand info to see how many others of my secondary tags are shared, together with other data you get in the directory on the tweeple persona - bio, especially, and external link, of course!
Let's see where this leads us!
So, time to break the silence on my "personal blog" again - in order to tell you that I had a great training camp arranged by my home club www.aikidodojo.nu the past weekend. Some taijutsu (open hand) and bukiwasa (weapons) training, together with a bonus physical strain to carry the mats back from the facility we borrowed due to the big number of participants and the fact that our home dojo do not have a shower right now - a former church! We used a school sports hall.
Leader of the seminar/training camp was the Swedish aikido legend Sensei Ulf Evenås, who have the highest rank of Iwama Ryu Aikido at 7 dan black belt/shodan, official representative of Iwama in Northern Europe and shihan (master senior instructor). He studied many years for Saito from 1973 and onwards, in turn the longest term student of Aikido Founder Morihei Ueshiba. Passing on the teachings, it is great to have participated in a seminar "close to the core" of Aikido.
Sunday night: Exhausted in body, excited in spirit - now ready and reenergized for the next levels! It was also great to be offline for three days and nights in conjunction with the training camp :).
I will post more on my thoughts on and experiences of Aikido later. More pics from the seminar found here.

Today it struck me like that insight coming as a lightning, that one other optimal way to keep intense daily blogging as a routine strong like brushing your teeth besides adding Tunes and Words of the day (see tags wotd and totd), that I should devote one post per ID Tag.

So, usually when this Tagged Interest form field shows up in different profile queries on the web, this amazingly wonderful connection of consciousness and utility for unification (thanks Tim-Berners Lee - I hope you take it to the next level with the Semantic Web!), I throw in this extended version, trying to grasp central elements of me (I have notes about this in my profile).
First time stumbled upon, credited Ecademy and their 50 Words, summer 2004. Now I have these as a way to "collapse degrees of separation" e. g. on the back of my business card, and the interesting thing that occurs, that in a millisecond when people see it, they land on a tag, and a conversation kicks off!
This is a way to avoid the stupid question, "what do you do for a living?", where you maybe should ask "what do you live for doing?". We are not professional identities, we are ourselves.
And the "doing" is our most powerful communication and transfer mode. There is no more powerful rhetoric than the deed.
In essence here lies non-violent communication. Or, I really do not like to talk in negatives, so let's talk about peaceful communication!
So, beginning today, I will devote one 300 to 500 word posting a day with a story why this ID tag entered in my walk of life, with relation: where, when, how, who - and what it means to me.
Now I have to rush to the library before they close, because I have spotted a book related to one of these tags :).
Peace,
Anders
Tune of the Day.
Not to distract the DJ Anders Blog from the kind-of professional and profession-related news (see www.djanders.info for the distribution of web presences), I followed my intuition and the moment of being to also introduce a reflection of the stream of energy that keeps up my "Qi" or "Prana" - and the mode of communication when I do not have words. Music.
Moment: The weather (tenki, japanese...) here in Norrköping this morning was very windy and rainy. Oh, what bad weather, I thought, and happy to be inside. Then Benyas mix from Global DJ Broadcast of Dec 13, 2007 was flowing from my Sony Ericsson P1i through the handsfree brain saving headphones - with the tune above. The tune harmonized with a sort-of Yin-Yang principle, two sides of everything, the one thing from one thing is there to be found in the other to keep harmony (ai) of life energy (ki) to follow your life path (do). Ai-Ki-Do.
These things are hard to transform with words, and as I say - Music, when Words are not Enough. Transfer and transcend in communication. So, paradoxically, the spirit of the tune in the mix, a remix of of Everything But The Girl "Missing" by Tenishia, together with one line - in Text! - got me going!
What was found with intuitive insight was this;
"I miss you
Like the desert miss the rain"
Yes, self-concluding.
The weather in Norrköping - rainy. Windy. Not nice.
But if we were in Kalahari or Nevada, it would be warmly welcomed, to go from hot to warm. Like the desert miss the rain.
When the insight came to me, the sun was breaking through the grey clouds, and now almost all the greyness is replaced with deep sky blue.
Time for N/A - Next Action, in order to GTD, get things done. Harmony prevails.
