The Partially [Un]Examined Life

Download this blogcast in MP3 Audio.

The Partially Examined Life podcast & blog, albeit entertaining, is a great example of why abstract philosophies are fucking useless.

By "abstract philosophies", I mean thinking about life out of context of my own personal life. Without the inclusion of my own experiences. In other words, talking without "getting dirty."

Visit their website & podcast.

I do give it to them that the discussions are humoristic & easy going, and so make for a nice entertaining background sound; so I have something to listen to, while working out, say.

Abstract philosophy, or "philosophizing", is the cause of all structured ignorance. The idea that any thought can be discussed in an impersonal manner, as if from the cloud-seat of some immortal deity, only causes misunderstandings and confusion. As proof, talk to any philosophy student; the pure embodiment of trying to study philosophy, without attaching its' meaning to our own lives.

So, while I do recommend listening to any of their episodes, and their well-narrated talks, I strongly warn against considering any of it as Philosophy.

Automatically Publish New Posts To Facebook

Blogger, being a Google product, is quite handily integrated with Google+. It is not, however, well integrated with Facebook, at all; not surprisingly, being the competition and all.

I have quite loyally enjoyed the automatic syndication publishing service from NetworkedBlogs, for a long while, now. Sadly, I have noticed that their script adds a lot of clutter & bugginess to my blog! :-S This is simply unacceptable.

On my venture to find a new auto-publishing mechanism, I have read about dlvr.it. It seems nice and friendly. My registration and setup was very (very) quick. Now, let us see if it works!

This is my first test-run post for it.

Cheers. :-)

Updated Blog Design & Images & Feed Links

Here, here, for the update of my pretty blog!

I have changed the blog's layout from two columns into one column. I felt that it was time to give more space to both the content and sidebar. By removing the left column, I added a bunch of good pixels to both, and now there is more space for the posts aaaand for the important sidebar images and links.

Enjoying the friendly Google Blogger system.

Also, now there is a widget with RSS feed links for different providers, if you scroll below a little. I added the buttons manually, because I could not find anything pre-made. Took me a while to get it all going nicely.

I hope Real Stories! Amazing Adventures! is more readable, now. Do comment and tell me how you feel about my current design and how you would improve it!

HIS ENERGY LEVEL IS AT FIVE THOUSAND!!!

Woohoo, my rather cutsie blog has finally reached the 5k unique viewers mark!

Celebrations do apply... *ehm* So, do send me a tenner(10$) and email me for a topic of your choice for the next post! The sending by Paypal option is on the left, by the way.

Happy dawg is happy!

Google Blog Search

During my daily routine of finding interesting conversations on the web, for the sake of spreading my name and ideas to the world, and also for my own education, I ran into this:

It appears that Google has a separate search page for blogs. How intriguing!

If you have a suggestion for any website, where I can find interesting conversations about life, adventures, freedom, arts or anything creative, at all, then click on the "comment" link below (the text changes, but it always has the word "comment" in it!) and tell me about it.

Anyways, I am off to roam again. Cheers.

Navigation Menu!

^ This ain't it! It's just an image!

My more veteran readers will notice three new navigation options, between the title and posts section: Muse, Mind & Mastery. I have decided to categorize my blog in those three general terms, not excluding other minor tags, for easier navigation.

If you feel like bathing in random emotions, then go ahead and check out the Muse section, for posts about art, creativity and inspirational messages.

Otherwise, if you would prefer more intellectual content, then go ahead and check the Mind section, for posts about philosophical arguments and a variety of interesting ideas to ponder and debate.

Still, if you would simply rather catch up on my latest scheme, then the Mastery section is for you. There, you can read about my latest ventures in life, be they virtual or material. This also generally includes How To's and different useful practical tidbits.
