Yoga greetings! A little restorative Yoga exploratoration tomorrow, Sat Feb 28, 2026 at around 8 am PT, 11 am ET 8:30 pm India time and in your zone ... Seeking to explore inside meditatively ~ 

A 
Explore from this with Angela for 5 minutes or so at first - 
Angela Farmer : Savasana : Letting go and Returning
https://youtu.be/6T9TtxPEGZw
B 
And then explore some of this same video seating in easy cross-legged pose, or half-lotus, or especially sitting on a chair, for a few minutes - 
(adapting the video for sitting up?)

C
I found this 
Yoga tree of 8 limb Yoga great in Pinterest ... and with its allusions to genetics even, implied - 
A way to explore Yoga philosophy in many ways ~

D 
And then another 5 minutes of so with a kind of introduction to 
Pranayama - breathing explorations Yogically with Angela too - 


E
And I found this book new Yoga book for me recently, and actually met one of its authors, Marlynn, whom I appreciated a lot, in a Data & Society webinar from near DC, yesterday morning, Th 2/26/26  - 


The #HarvardMedSch #GuideToYoga: 8 Weeks to Strength, Awareness, & Flexibility by #MarlynnWeiMDJD, & #JamesEGrovesMD, 2017.

The #HarvardMedSch #GuideToYoga: 8 Weeks to Strength, Awareness, & Flexibility
by #MarlynnWeiMDJD, & #JamesEGrovesMD, 2017.
Introduction to yoga: the chair sequence
Modified Sun Salutation










F 
And Dick and Chris, and all, check out and do the first Harvard Yoga pose chair Yoga video - 

Introduction to yoga: the chair sequence


G
And further, this Harvard Yoga pose might interest people who want to eventually try Sun Salutation 
Modified Sun Salutation


AND 
H 
And as we may live to 150 and well beyond:), 

I came to wonder further how we and scientists could Yogically even study or explore our cells relating to the Yoga poses and meditations we do and even the cells in our brains.

And when Stanford Law and Bioethics' professor Hank Greely posted the following this morning, I asked the following too - 

how else is it possible to study brain cells & neuron cells w #brainwaveHeadsets, & in their cells, through the cranium, besides by EEG & MRI processes scientifically: 
https://g.co/gemini/share/1089acbe4a4a & how to add these data to an iterating #RealisticVirtualEarthForCells? #WUaScellBio ~



Retweeting - 

Long @undarkmag story on human neural organoids undark.org/2026/02/26/bra… Conflict of interest warning: it quotes me. A lot.


Check out the Undarkmagazine article ...


I 
How to study the cells and neurons of the brain, and meditation and even loving bliss, and with headbands and brainwave headsets too, in my 2nd Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic book project, while soaking in the Harbin warm pool or in our homes in a virtual Harbin hot springs, and with STEM research on the brain and body mind planned too - and re Yoga and asana and breathing and meditation?

M
Looking forward to exploring some of this all together tomorrow as individuals on our own Yoga journeys ... and as we grow stronger, with awareness, and fitter too .. and as we may live to 150 years of age and well beyond. (And here's a fascinating rigorous clinical trial out of Brown University, with Brown Professor John Sedivy as the PI, I think, and other universities in New England studying slowing aging - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/01/asparagus-gharoensis.html). Know of other clinical trials in process in a related longevity vein, and with possible Yoga explorations too? Please let us know in this developing Yoga and Longevity conversation.

Namaste, all the best, Happy Yoga explorations, warm regards, 
Scott

Dear Ma, Peter, Byron, Pin, Ed, 


Wow, and incredibly  - Seeking to generate a 
First exploration of Gemini AI to build a virtual Harbin Hot Springs for ethnographic book project # 2 -  - and SO MUCH potential for all of us to co-make a #RealisticVirtualHarbin #HotSprings (w a #RealisticVirtualEarth) ...

with the 'prompt' text below 

and needing an API key, twice ...


There's a "Connect API Key for Nano Banana 2" option in the top right of the main window ... which I haven't clicked on yet ...

Thoughts?

Warm regards,

Ma, Peter, Byron, Pin, Ed, 

clicked on the 

"Connect API Key for Nano Banana 2" option in the top right of the main window

and got to -  

"Choose a paid key for Virtual Harbin Hot Springs
You have no Paid Project. Please view the Projects Page to choose a Project and Upgrade. Go to Projects Page"

Will explore further later ... 


returnable to I wonder, and could I start up again from there, having tried twice already ending with a link like the above? 

In the meantime, I still seem to get past the invisible barrier in Google Street View at the Harbin Gate House (for years now) in 2007, 2012 or 2024 ...


 and to begin to "walk" up to the pool area ... although it is possible still to walk the '4 miles' down to Middletown California.

Thoughts on getting up to the warm pool, or creating it even?

Ma, Peter, Byron, Pin, Ed, AI readers, all, 

Greetings. This momentous incredible Virtual Harbin Hot Springs' link - https://aistudio.google.com/apps/e1119e28-f710-4d23-9f21-0b659eb31d8c?showPreview=true&showAssistant=true - toward an iterating #RealisticVirtualHarbin #HotSprings and #ForHistory too, didn't work on my smartphone, so 

I'm going to wait a spell longer ... since I also think AI Studio Gemini AI Nano Banana is iterating and it might take a while to code for all the implications of my lengthy prompt ... and it might also take a while to get good datasources / code bases for many many AI and ML angles on the Harbin warm pool and for developing from this tiltable Onsen Youtube information technologies too - https://youtu.be/X6YBetANDUI  ... Develop this #RealisticVirtualHarbin #HotSprings with a #RealisticVirtualEarth on Stanford computer servers, since implicit in this ginormous project are a #RealisticVirtualEarthForCells #RealisticVirtualEarthForMolecules a #RealisticVirtualEarthForBrains a #RealisticVirtualEarthForAgingReversal a #RealisticVirtualEarthForExtremeLongevity and #RealisticVirtualEarthForSurgery & related #AvatarAgentElectronicHealthRecords too?

To what end do I owe the pleasure of this kind invitation - and from you in Portland, Oregon, to a dinner party in Alexandria, Virginia, and with me and online free MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School, of which I'm the founder and president and a professor at, being based near UC Berkeley and Stanford University (and with us both having gone to Reed College, me beginning in 1979, and all 5 of my books being inspired by a hot springs - Harbin Hot Springs Heart Consciousness Church - and you running a hot spring too ?

Happy birthday, Grant, and e-birthday party celebrants!

How are you? How are the Elizabeth islands in winter doing? How are your birthday celebrations going in 2026? Remembering your father Nydeck's  beautiful blue Trimaran sailboat out in the Cuttyhunk pond on your birthday here .... and birthday greetings from in a sense virtual Abolition Row Park in New Bedford, across from the NB Quaker Meeting House (with its historical separate doors for men and women) and where many friends / Friends have sat in Friendly Quaker Silent Meeting meditation (but probably not Peleg Slocum, a first farmer on Cuttyhunk, since this Friends' Meeting House was built in the1800s I think) and regarding abolition on Cuttyhunk too I'd think - 

... How is the World Univ & Sch worldwide abolition movement -  https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2025/10/eagle-aquila-world-university-and.html & https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/10/eagle-aquila-world-university-and.html - growing on Cuttyhunk and the Elizabeth islands (and having sought US federal protection for my mother, brother and myself many, many months ago, and an ongoing US federal investigation into international organized crime in cahoots even with uniformed armed services on Cuttyhunk and related boats & yachts too - with my father GKM MD having potentially been whacked on a short university-managed at the time semester at sea trip in the country of Belize on 12/30/04, one day before my birthday, leading to his death I posit)?

Wishing you a happy birthday, Grant, in this email party celebration, and here are some party favors for everyone in the form of free Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency free money daily (which probably comes to less than $10 / year these days if exchanged for dollars) - but which could help grow an abolition movement further and on Cuttyhunk, if written into state of Massachusetts and US federal law somehow I think, and could thus be very valuable for Cuttyhunk in the future - 

Pi is a new digital currency developed by Stanford PhDs, with over 55 million members worldwide. To claim your Pi, follow this link https://minepi.com/sgkmac and use my username (sgkmac) as your invitation code.

{and as free World University and School seeks to end poverty worldwide among all 7.9 billion people on the planet, and abolish the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex, drugs, violence, house-stealing, car theft, military targeting etc industries internationally and their latent networks of violence, and thus knock back international organized crime ... and with IT and ML} ... and to make Cuttyhunk good again, Yoga karmically and dharmically too.

And may I share with you and everyone "The Harvard Medical School Guide to Yoga," as a birthday greeting, and while I can't find online in an open library (or World Univ & Sch's university research libraries to come) a free copy, one might emerge here with time -  


... and please see the PPS as well.


And birthday after birthday, free-to-students' World Univ & Sch, building on MIT OCW in 7 languages - https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/translated-courses/ - is growing to become the MIT / Harvard / Stanford / Oxbridge of the internet in all 200 countries and all 7159 living language, and re - 

The founder of Khan Academy wants to create an alternative to Harvard or Stanford https://sfstandard.com/2026/02/26/founder-khan-academy-wants-create-alternative-college/

and in a realistic virtual earth - (and see Peter Norvig's INCREDIBLE #ToolifyAIWUaS article here mentioning a RVE for the first time that I know of other than by WUaS) https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306 - in far-reaching innovative ways ... and with a WUaS base on Cuttyhunk too in the MacLeod Cuttyhunk house next to yours, and perhaps in your house too. Perhaps as a creative birthday exploration, and with your network technologies' CS skills, Grant, we can explore building this out further this summer on Cuttyhunk, and from Google's AI studio for example - https://aistudio.google.com/prompts/new_chat . Happy AI and ML networking creativity on your birthday!

Happy Birthday, Yogically, abolitionally, staying alive, So give 3 cheers for Cuttyhunk, 
Scott

Hi

Hi Scott,

All’s well here.  ... a little late again this time; my car is in the shop but I should be able to get to the back and to the b... by late next weekend.  Off to a Pops concert.

Love, Ma



* 

Thanks for the info, Ma!

Seeking to get my tax returns in to the county before March 9. 

Hoping to move into 670 Ridgecrest Canyon by Th March 5 or F the 6th re moving things out of A5 storage and payment ... With electricity source there figured out ... More solar!

Have a great Pittsburgh Pops' concert as Boston FBI similar  I'd think dives deeper into possible Cuttyhunk  international organized crime and re today's F 2/27/26 blog post here -  http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/02/sprangletop-leptochloa.html 

... and to protect potentially Dick Robb MD too  who may know about Dad's 'death blow' in Belize the day before my birthday on 12/30/04 ... Do some Boston federal law enforcement go to the Boston Pops I wonder ?

Pops is what Sandy and I sometimes called Dad - re this morning's happy birthday to Grant too ... And what role did international organized crime on Cuttyhunk - eg harvard alum who went on semester-at-sea with us alan symonds in 1997 or '99,  nina brodeur etc - play in Dad's head injury and death AND in Sandy seeking to steal the MacLeod Cuttyhunk house sadly ... and turn it into a brothel? ...  entangled in international organized crime in Portland ME and Cuttyhunk MA, as he may still be ? ... Glad I sought US federal protection for you, Sandy and myself. 

Time for another cold swimmer's shower on a 79F hot day!   

Glad you're safe and sound there, and happy concert !

Love, Yogically, thank you,  Scott

F 2/27/26




Hi Ma, Ed, Pin, How are you this Friday? After attending this interesting "Mental Health, Chatbots, and the Future of Care | Databite No. 165" webinar from DC yesterday morning at 9 PT, and sending this follow up email - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/02/asian-bleeding-heart-lamprocapnos.html - I received out the blue an invitation card to a Dinner Party in Alexandria Virginia on Th 3/15/26 (which doesn't exist I just noticed) from a Japanese woman Miyuki Yoshida in Portland Oregon to me in the SF East Bay to which I replied

My notes 






#2 "Miyuki,
Thank you for your wonderful out of the blue invitation. Thank you so much! To what end do I owe the pleasure of this kind invitation - and from you in Portland, Oregon, to a dinner party in Alexandria, Virginia, on Thursday 3/15/26, and with me and online free MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School, of which I'm the founder and president and a professor at, being based near UC Berkeley and Stanford University (and with both of us having gone to Reed College, me beginning in 1979, and all 5 of my books being inspired by a hot springs - Harbin Hot Springs Heart Consciousness Church - and you running a hot spring too in the state of Washington - https://discovernikkei.org/en/journal/2023/4/5/miyuki-yoshida-1/)? I really wish I could be there, but World Univ & Sch & I don't have the resources yet for such a trip and on relatively short notice. I send my warmest greetings from Berkeley, so that you will fully enjoy your time in Alexandria with your family and friends.
Friendly warmest regards, Scott (GK MacLeod - https://x.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/2006532268417040726 & https://x.com/scottmacleod/status/1960358200047526267)" ... could this be possibly related to my having mentioned Toyota Ambulance Vans etc in my email to Databite 165 folks, and re even WUaS & my networking with Toyota further - eg for Toyota Teaching Hospital buses and WUaS developing further Toyota Humanoid Robot MD professors of surgery and all ~24 MD sub specialities as Humanoid Robotics and even in a  WUaS #RealisticVirtualVirtualEarthForSurgery ? Who knows?  ... AND Speculatively, could D.... be based in Virginia now and even as part of the uniformed medical services as part of a US federal agency ... and out of a toxic SF UCSF medical environment brainstorming-wise too? Again who knows ? ... I think I can finish my taxes midday today ... and after bagpiping here at an East Bay MUD lookout .... Good to have wished Cuttyhunk-er Grant Schenck, whom I've known since the late 1960s or 70s ... a happy birthday earlier and in growing a WUaS worldwide abolition movement (will likely post here later - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Cuttyhunk)... And good to have met Yogini too Marlynn Wei MD JD yesterday too in the Databite 165 webinar ... AND Might I move into a 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516 with deed in the next few days? Thoughts? Fond regards, abolition, Yogically, warmly, Scott
