4 copies of 'Rise Up Singing,' four voices, and some good, sonorous walking bass lines - and a lot of music, daily Mmm - sounds like a wild, trip - set of lifelong 'practices' ...

Bodyminds as musical instruments' metaphor & loving bliss neurophysiology as music. How would this work? Zil-llions of motifs & rifs ... Players?

developing 'edit this page' Wikipedia's openness protocols for worlduniversity.wikia.com - the idea of the encyclopedia, neutral pt of view, ... 'talk' page, 'history' page (all changes are saved), adding anonymously or with a pseudonym, etc., locking of some controversial pages (until they 'cool' down, neurophysiologically?) ...

Thanks for adding these 15 civil engineering video lectures: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Civil_Engineering How to generate fruitful conversations with World Univ & Sch ? Might one complement these videos with ones from MIT OCW which address similar issues from different perspectives so that everyone benefits ...and learns? Which course material? How might India get clean water country-wide? Sounds like a project for civil engineers :) WUaS would love it if you'd keep an eye on the 'Civil Engineering' subject, and occasionally you links. This might help a lot of people, and we'll all learn more about civil engineering :) ... What relevant, complementary material is there at MIT or CalTech, for example? Thank you :)


And then digg, delicious and google for relevance? What would you suggest?

And how could people with video-capable hand held computers benefit and engage the knowledge the first video imparts ? :)

Might people with video-capable hand held computers teach to their mobile devices to add to converse with the above video? I think so ...
