Tenk Kidd: Thanks Eliza :)

Tess Aristocrat: Tenk is a dear friend from Philosophy Island
Eliza Madrigal: ah :) wonderful
boxy: ah, this is where i met you, tenk :)
boxy: the name is familiar
Santoshima: love that expression: think tenk

BELL

Tess Aristocrat: Eliza, I thought I had met you there, actually
Tess Aristocrat: ㋡
Play as Being 15 minute bell: Thank you.
Eliza Madrigal: quite likely :) I think we've overlapped in a few places actually
Tenk Kidd: I think we have met before Eliza - at PI
Tess Aristocrat: yes ㋡
Eliza Madrigal: yes :) fun to actually talk
Tess Aristocrat: I see your name and your sweet spirit..I remember this..
Tess Aristocrat: brb..
Eliza Madrigal: aw, ty
 

Eliza Madrigal: Tenk, I need to let you know that we record all of our sessions Tenk, and ask whether it is okay to include your comments :) (playasbeing.org)
Zen: we have a mutual friend called Aurora
boxy: yes, the spirit of pab
boxy: this is our eliza
boxy: *pats eliza*

Eliza Madrigal: spirit of pab has affected eliza more like :)

Tenk Kidd: Indeed it is - I'll try to say stuff that is erudite and stands the test of time :)
boxy: :)
Eliza Madrigal smiles widely!
Eliza Madrigal: wish I'd done that
boxy: that was the first one, tenk :)
Zen: you won't fit in here then enk :)
Eliza Madrigal: instead there are about two years of bla bla ...hehe
Eliza Madrigal: kidding :)
Santoshima: :))

boxy: zen, actually, anyone will fit in. the logs are posted on the net :)
Eliza Madrigal: it is quite a practice though, reading back
Eliza Madrigal: thanks though, for your permission Tenk
boxy: *feels peaceful in his belly*
Eliza Madrigal: :) Boxy

Zen wonders if he is ever erudite
boxy: nommm... :)
Zen: thinks not
Eliza Madrigal: yes you are Zen
Tenk Kidd: well, I sort of side with Edison about genius being 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration - od something like that - so if I come out with close to 1% of sense I'll be batting well
boxy: zen, you're an erudite painter, i can tell you that :)
Santoshima: erudite is your middle name, zen
Eliza Madrigal: as many have said, most is 'showing up'
Eliza Madrigal: but there seem to be layers of that...
Zen: Grea worksare peformed not b strenth, bu by peseverace.
Zen: ~ Samuel ohnson
Santoshima: SJ
Eliza Madrigal: there is being somewhere, and then there is really *there*
Santoshima: there is no there there
Zen: hmm Phrase express doesn't work too well for quotes
Eliza Madrigal: :))

boxy: tenk, i tend to think it's dna-related
boxy: fluctuations in evolution
Tenk Kidd: most stuff is, isn't it, Boxy?
Eliza Madrigal tends to think of dna as an outline
Zen: an influence

boxy: tenk, i was referring to the edison quote
Zen: along with all the others
Tenk Kidd: Edison was noted for being sweaty
Eliza Madrigal: heheh
Zen: oh
Eliza Madrigal: like steve jobs
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Zen: oh?
Zen: it's all coming ut now
boxy: or like lots of others whose names you will never know

Eliza Madrigal: yes... the book is quite interesting in that regard, you have this person who is an incredible juxtoposition of inspiration and will and meanness often, but forces people to actualize things they wouldn't think they could
Zen: what book?
Eliza Madrigal: jobs biography, sorry
Zen: oh the book about Jobs
Zen: guessed
Eliza Madrigal nods... was thinking that many might say the same of their parents or key teachers
Zen: wonder if it's on Kindle
Zen: he was a college dropout
Zen: like Gates
Eliza Madrigal nods
Zen: way to go
Zen: maybe

Eliza Madrigal: Last night Pila shared that his last words were "oh wow oh wow"
Eliza Madrigal: :))

Tenk Kidd: I think Steve Jobs (and other prominent people) are sometimes misinterpreded as being more intellectually brilliant than they really were - a significant portion of their success came from hard work, adaptability, and getting the best out of those they worked with
Zen: yes agree Tenk
Eliza Madrigal: indeed Tenk... persistence...pushiness

Santoshima: isn't that intelligence in action
Eliza Madrigal: vision
Zen: he needed the engineer guy too
Zen: can't spell his name
Eliza Madrigal: wozniak
Zen: yeh that's him
Eliza Madrigal: :) hard not to like him when reading this book... his generous nature
Zen: yes

Tenk Kidd: in a sense yes - a sort of 'social intelligence' as opposed to 'emotiona' or 'functional' intelligence perhaps?
Santoshima: failing to see the need to isolate any of those aspects from the other
Zen: he could be hard
Zen: and fussy on detail

BELL

Tenk Kidd: I agree Santoshima - difficult to separate 'intelligences', but I believe there are distinct sorts or types of intelligent trait (not that I have any psychological training)
Eliza Madrigal: in part it is just inspiring to see the way collaborations happen, how people's strengths and weaknessnes may interact with environments and timings
Tenk Kidd: fussy on detail that is important is very necessary
Tess Aristocrat: They say 'The early bird catches the worm.' Though, I'm not so sure how that can be a good fable for the early worm... *ponders this..
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Zen: yeh that's what makes Apple products so good
Zen: gosh back to this again
Santoshima: the worm?

Tenk Kidd: worms do seem to hava a hard time of it - perhaps it's their DNA...
Tess Aristocrat: yes!
Tess Aristocrat: lol
Eliza Madrigal: lol
Eliza Madrigal: networks are amazing... watching how key meetings open this, spark that, bring together unlikely situations
Zen: if you cut then in half they hardly notice
Tess Aristocrat: :0
Eliza Madrigal: :)) Zen
Tess Aristocrat: lollll
Zen: it's true
Zen: few pain receptors

Tenk Kidd: I do like that you can go to an Apple showroom and they have all their stuff on working on display and it just does - I can't imagine Windows stuff doing that
Eliza Madrigal thinks of lizard tails
Tess Aristocrat: aha! worms are more adaptive
Zen: used to use them fishing
Eliza Madrigal: right.... very distinctive and everything friendly and saying 'touch me' in a way
Zen: felt bad sticking a hook through them
boxy's nose: Eliza Madrigal slowly strokes boxy's wet nose
Eliza Madrigal giggles
boxy's nose: Eliza Madrigal pokes boxy's nose

Tess Aristocrat: Oh, I know..I remember the dismay of trying to catch lizards as a child only to come up with a lizard tail
Eliza Madrigal: did you ever put them on your ears? lizards?
Zen: these sessions are turning into Apple promotions
Tess Aristocrat: yesEliza lolll
Zen: :)
Eliza Madrigal: hahah!!
Tess Aristocrat: hehehe :P
Eliza Madrigal: and lizard promotions
Zen: lol
Zen: disposable tails
Eliza Madrigal: and playfullness promotions :)
Tess Aristocrat: lol

Zen: have never seen a lizard

Tenk Kidd: I'm afraid I have to duck out - just before the worms get to the Apples...
Eliza Madrigal: what?
Zen: none in Ireland
Tenk Kidd: Catch you later :)
Eliza Madrigal: or in Australia?
Eliza Madrigal: Bye Tenk
Santoshima: bye tenk
Zen: bye Tenk :)
Tess Aristocrat: Tenk, be safe and thanks for coming!
Eliza Madrigal: thanks for joining us today
Tenk Kidd: Tara the noo!
Zen: not in Sydney anyway
Zen: hmmm maybe there were
Zen: long time ago
Tess Aristocrat: I will find a pic..
Zen: och aye
Eliza Madrigal: Miami is a lizard land

Santoshima: hmm, no lizards in ireland? truly?
Zen: and gators
Tess Aristocrat: here, we have lots of chameleons
Eliza Madrigal: oooo
Eliza Madrigal: yes here too, as in SL :)
Zen: maybe St Patrick drove them out along with the snakes
Eliza Madrigal: must be it Zen
Tess Aristocrat: and even some geckos!
Zen: too cold and wet more likely
Eliza Madrigal: geckos are near and dear to my heart
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Zen: lizards and gators cold blooded?
Zen: reptiles
Eliza Madrigal: yes they don't like cold Zen.... when we have a snap, people bring iguanas into their homes and bathtubs
Tess Aristocrat: though, I think the geckos are not indigenous to the area
Eliza Madrigal nods
Santoshima: imported?
Tess Aristocrat: I think they got started here..when people had them as pets
Santoshima: oh
Eliza Madrigal: there is a big gecko pet market... my daughter had a leopard gecko for a while actually
Tess Aristocrat: and then they either escaped or were turned loose
Eliza Madrigal: mmm, nods
Santoshima: right

Santoshima: any frogs there, zen?
Tess Aristocrat: because now they are all over
Zen: yes we have frogs
Tess Aristocrat: ㋡
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Zen: just no reptiles or snakes
Zen: so must be temperature related
Santoshima: yeah

Eliza Madrigal: have enjoyed being with you guys but I'd intended to stay just a few minutes.. such a full day... have the log tho
Santoshima: bye eliza, take good care
Eliza Madrigal: be well and see you soon :)
Zen: great Eliza
Tess Aristocrat: and also because of being surrounded by water
Zen: bye :)
