Love your criticism of TED! Â And the WIRED gang. Â I think they’ve really gone off the rails lately with Whole Earth Discipline and What Technology Wants. Â I mean that latter makes me want to vomit. Â It seems to totally ignore the global context. Â I mean with all that’s going on, who gives a flying fuck what technology wants? Â The question is what do WE want.
And then the former seems totally mired in contradiction. Â The founder of the Long Now Foundation preaching expediency? Â Bogus.

I’ll be going to Salinas this coming February, what time of the year is the carnival? The town looks great, i’m really excited for my visit.

Not sure when the Carnaval is in 2013, but it should be easy to find online. It’s the same all over South America and most of the world…

A couple of days in Salinas were among numerous life-shifting experiences of 5 weeks “S of Equator” July/August 2013. My wife, Cheryl Pomeroy, PhD, documented the salt making process with Otilia Chamorro in 1988 and published this in detail, including chemical analysis and likely recognition of this salt’s efficacy in preventing illnesses > The Salt of Highland Ecuador: Precious Product of a Female Domain, Cheryl Pomeroy, Ethnohistory, Vol. 35, No. 2. (Spring, 1988), pp. 131-160. .
Friends and relatives were delighted with gifts from Salinas which included finger puppets, we munched a disk of cheese all the way to Arequipa, Peru, and welcome our Chullos in bitter Chicago winter cold.
Thanks to Patricio of Salinas’ Turism Bureau for arranging Otilia’s grandson to guide us among the cooperativas!
