Do you like brain magic? I do. But I remember there is the word ‘magic’ after brain…

Statistician Nic Marks asks why we measure a nation’s success by its productivity — instead of by the happiness and well-being of its people. He introduces the Happy Planet Index, which tracks national well-being against resource use (because a happy life doesn’t have to cost the earth). Which countries rank highest in the HPI? You might be surprised. (Recorded at TEDGlobal 2010, July 2010 in Oxford, UK. Duration: 16:49)

A comment by Luis Perez from Costa Rica
“I like to consider myself a citizen of the world. However, I was born and raised in Costa Rica… and I’m still here! Nick is right, we are very happy 
We still have a lot of problems and we could do a lot better but we are happy most of the time… Could be our history, could be our weather, but most of all I think is all about “doing the best you can with the tools you have”.
Now, you heard the man:
1. Connect
2. Be active
3. Take notice
4. Keep learning
5. Give
There are a lot of interesting comments, worth to read!

Peter Molyneux demos Milo, a hotly anticipated video game for Microsoft’s Kinect controller. Perceptive and impressionable like a real 11-year-old, the virtual boy watches, listens and learns — recognizing and responding to you.

Which one is your favourite video and why?
Why some Blogger bloggers are so stubborn?
Why is it so difficult to change your comment settings so that it would be
easy to leave a comment?
Why some of you give only google account option? Why, please tell me!
Why can’t you have Name/URL option?
That way we (other than Blogger bloggers)
would get linked to the right profile page at once.
Not via myopenID page or OLD Blogger profile page. That would save time – for all of us!
I’ve written about this 21.7.2010 here.
Or do you want to have comments from only those who are in Blogger? Please tell me!
Here are a few Blogger blogs which use EASY TO COMMENT options.
A great photographer Stickup Artist
She has Name/URL option.
As you can see I can choose which URL I use (I have 3 blog addresses).
That’s it!
No hassle with google/blogger account options!
(Blogger/google option gives me a WRONG link because my blog has moved.
That means that if somebody clicks that link she/he goes
first to my Blogger profile page and from there to my actual, correct blog address!
IF she/he is still willing to do that! )
Olé!
Correct link
straight to the right place!
What’s bad about this option is that there’s no follow-up option.
Even if I get a reply from this blogger I don’t have no way to know about it.
Only option is to visit another time and check. That’s time consuming.

When you start commenting
you sign into DISQUS and keep login
until you finish your commenting tour.
One login saves time and energy!
IMAGINE IF ALL BLOGGER BLOGGERS HAD DISQUS
HOW MUCH TIME AND ENERGY WE WOULD SAVE!
I’ve never experienced any problems with DISQUS.
Lisleman has a funny, great idea of one post and a lot of comments to that.
•
Jayne has DISQUS too. What’s good about DISQUS is that you can follow-up comments.
If/when Jayne replies to my comment I get an email and can reply to her reply.
That’s called interaction!
Jayne is a great writer ! Check out her blog here!

IF you don’t want commenting to be easy for
other than Blogger bloggers
it would be great to know why not?
IF you want comments please make other than Blogger bloggers life easier, thank you!

Suomalaisille…
Olen useampaa teita pyytänyt vaihtamaan asetuksia kommentointiasetuksiin. Koska niin ei ole tapahtunut oletin ettei kommenttini ole tärkeitä ja lopettanut sanomiseni.
Samoin suurin osa niistä jotka eivät enää kommentoi täällä millään kielellä vaikka tietävät Suomen kieleni sujuvan vallan hyvin edelleen, näkemiin.
Sääli, sillä moni blogi oli kiva seurata. Joitakin olen seurannut melkein kaksi vuotta jonka olen tässä kuussa bloggausta harrastanut.
Ajat muuttuu. Niin myös bloggaaminen.
Yhä useampi lukee posteja Readerin kautta eikä vaivaudu kommentoimaan.
Moni odottaa saavansa kommentteja muttei itse vaivaudu näkemään samaa vaivaa.
Aina ei tarvitse olla syvällistä sanomista. Ihan niin kuin ‘oikeassa elämässä’ voi vaan sanoa moi! hyvää päivän jatkoa… Vai oletko törmännyt johonkin ihmiseen joka suhtautuisi nyrpeästi jos moikkaat?
Yksipuolinen monologi ei bloggaamisessa ole minun juttuni.
Jos olisi, sulkisin kommenttiosion kokonaan.
Toivotan kaikille entisille blogitutuille hyvää jatkoa!
Ne joiden blogeja edelleen seuraan: kommentteja tulee kunhan tästä ehdin!
your WOrds of my IMAge #78:
Hey I was at the Guggenheim Bilbao too!
Cat From Outer Space Attacks Skyscraper!!
I asked for a scratch post and this is the best they could come up with?
Just wait until they say what I do to their beach!
her beautiful coat of many colors lulled them into thinking she was peaceful…
until she smelled someone on the 22nd floor that smelled like catnip…
“Cat eats building…News at eleven.”
Thank you all!
you give me WOrds and I give you an IMAge = WO*IMA
