In thirty to forty years…

In thirty to forty years, the biosphere will either be so radically altered that most life currently sustained by it will be dead/dying OR humans will learn to live sustainably and the biosphere will be on the path to recovery.

I think most people are becoming aware of the problem we face and want to help, but don’t know how or feel like it’s just too big a problem for anything they could do to matter. That’s the kind of thinking that will lead to disaster.

We need to take action now before it’s too late, and to do that we need lots of voices to tell our leaders what to do. But people lead busy lives, and the biosphere doesn’t have the time remaining for change to occur as it has in the past through revolt and revolution.

Fortunately as a consumer powered society, we each have a hand in producing that power. This is one small effort that really can influence the path of progress. Vote with your wallet.

With every purchase we make, we are voicing approval for more of that item to be manufactured or more of that service to be provided. If enough of us choose products that are sustainably made or services that are sustainably rendered, then those sustainable processes will win out and future generations of humans, plants, and animals will thank us.

Happy shopping, choose wisely.

Facebook’s Like button and the purpose of life

I decided to put a Facebook Like button at the very top of my website. In addition to clicking a Like button on a particular post, visitors can now choose to like the whole site and get an idea about it’s popularity (currently nil).

Oh well, I’ll continue as if I had readers. That way I can at least contribute something to the permanent record (Internet) for posterity and future generations. Who knows, maybe I’ll have lots of grandkids or great grandkids that want to read about me, or at least me of the past. I plan to live forever you know!

So the Facebook Like button requires some meta tags in the header of my site. One of those tags is a description of this site. I hadn’t put much thought into describing Keegoid as a whole site so this was a perfect opportunity to motivate me to do so.

What follows may sound a little crazy, but it’s the culmination of what I’ve been observing, learning, and deep-thinking about since college…distilled down to a few sentences. So it’s bound to sound fanciful without a longer explanation. Follow the links for that.

Trying to say it in as clear and concise a way as possible helped me to realize not only the purpose for this site, but also a routine of observing, learning, and sharing that I want to continue into the future.

Keegoid’s Facebook Like button meta tag description, website focus, and purpose of life:

Keegoid is currently a nickname given to me to describe my personality as being rather…well…android-like. In the future, it may have a more literal meaning: Keegan, an organic-based intelligence, improved by technology. The technological part is now and will continue to be progressing exponentially. What that means for our future as organic life forms is anyone’s guess.

During his existence Keegoid observes, learns, and shares what he discovers with other intelligences that choose to do the same. Perhaps it is a consequence of the nature of intelligence to desire significance and perhaps it is futile, but Keegoid wants to be more than a resource or step in the universe’s multi-pronged, probabilistic approach toward ever increasing complexity and energy density per second i.e. progress.

For better or worse, it will continue as it has always continued. Will Keegoid continue as well to observe, learn, and share after our purpose is fulfilled? Will Keegoid even make it that far to observe the Singularity? A computationally irreducible intelligence can only hope.

IT support resources and software for clients

Frequently I have a need to download and install the same software on all my client’s computers. I’m forced to repeat the process of downloading the software from various sites and then installing on each computer. I’ve fallen in love with ninite.com for the software that they’ve conveniently compiled, but their list is not complete and sometimes I just want to install one or two which makes Ninite feel kind of bulky.

I’ve decided to utilize dropbox.com to host the installation files right from a folder on my computer. Now all I have to do is download the software once to that folder and it will all be accessible in one place (from this blog post)!

Occasionally, I can update the installation files with the latest versions. As long as the file names stay the same, the following links will continue to work without any adjustments needed.

*I didn’t make any of this software and am not liable if you decide to install it. This list may not include the most recent versions. Occasionally I may prefer an older version of a program or to wait until a new version has had time for any kinks to be ironed out before installing on my client’s computers. For the most recent versions, please check on the software developer’s sites.
