I just tested Bing.com vs Google.com on a TenleyTown.net search!

Image
I was prompted to look for a community portal that HelpEarth Foundation runs called TenelyTown.net. On Bing.com It looks like Bing bends over backwards to not give a searcher information about it.  Since this is a top level domain and it is contextually relevant to people searching for anything about TenleyTown let alone putting the whole url in the search box there has to be some kind of exclusion of this domain from it's search results. What kind of search engine can't find a Top Level Domain?  How is that even possible.      I also did the same thing for Google.com and they seem to do a pretty good job finding the information about the site which is what you would expect. I'll ask someone I know at MS about this and see if they have an explanation and post it back here. Hey, if you have one please leave a comment on the blog about what you think is happening. #TTDNSEARCH PS Goes to show that having more than one source of information is always a good

Petition to U.S. Rep: Apologize for Park Ranger Confrontation Over Closed WWII Memorial | NBC4 Washington #ApologizeRandy

I'm very pleasantly surprised and happy to see that people responded to the petition asking Rep Neaugebauer to Apologize to that amazing U.S. Park Service Ranger and thankful that the media is picking up my  Change.org Petition which was 1st reported by DCIST     Petition to U.S. Rep: Apologize for Park Ranger Confrontation Over Closed WWII Memorial | NBC4 Washington Just so the record is straight why I did it.  Well,  After watching the footage of   Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-Texas) maxing a Horses ass out of himself and the position he has as a member of of Congress this and of course seeing what was being said on Reddit and recently signed a few other's Petitions I figured why not put one up myself. I also like to thank the Change.org community they have been very helpful getting this going and it served as great reminder of the power of community during a meeting on Social Media in Emergency at the Wilson Center today.

Over the brink, government has gone (in Yoda voice)

Image
The very government that has one main responsibility as far as it's use for me. - To protect and serve, sure I know there's a ton of opinions that there's a more nefarious government role;  However as a volunteer and professional emergency responder going back 3 decades I've know most in Gov to be fair and standup people often risking their lives or placing large chucks of it on hold to help others and today 800,000 of them not only aren't working for us they just not working at all. So how we come to it being acceptable to place the life and property at risk for the political folly of few of these so called Teapartiers and the Republican leadership. It's time for all good and reasonable people to take a stand and demand that your elected officials get back to work since the hazards of life and the role of the Federal government is needed today just as much today as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow.

The Falling Man - Tom Junod - 9/11 Suicide Photograph - and my poem.

The Falling Man - Tom Junod - 9/11 Suicide Photograph - Esquire : 'via Blog this' This picture is one that is frozen  in my mind forever and it compelled me to write the following poem. Dreamed of Flight By Nelson R. Jacobsen I always dreamed of flight not one such as this an end. Envision a bird or plane not a human leaping to escape flames. My last choice was mine and I chose to fly to my end. With the conclusion that awaited why not soar in my last time? I was free in these orbital days for seconds then ever after. Do not shed tears just live your dreams not fears.

The Fatal Human Flaw That Keeps Us From An Economy Based On Happiness | Co.Exist | ideas + impact

The Fatal Human Flaw That Keeps Us From An Economy Based On Happiness | Co.Exist | ideas + impact : 'via Blog this' I have proposed using MarginalUtilityofPublicGood.org as a way to lens what the .Gov, NGO's and Non-Profits are doing in the economy.  Profit subjugates the output since  traditionally in a For -Profit company the benefit is for the few, not the many so output is constricted and expanded for the exact opposite reason we need most things done in pubic policy (i. e.  Public Good).  I also believe we are evolving and like the 14 year old blue phenom Quinn Sullivan sings I believe we're  "Getting There".

Thick Mapping and what's it to you Mappers.

Not sure how it made it across my wire, FB, Twitter, Tumblur, or even email, it just exploded into my mind the moment I saw it.  Todd Presner will explore some of the emerging tools and platforms in the “spatial humanities” for creating “thick maps” and “thick visualizations” as well as discuss the HyperCities project and his recent book, Thick Mapping in the Digital Humanities (Harvard UP, 2013). I just did today Thick Mapping,  As I've been involved in CrisisMapping for a number of years the value of mapping as a contextual visualization of a disaster has been a game changer in my book as to how EOP for any or "All Hazards." let alone the educational benefits. So what is this think mapping  according to  Digital Humanities  it's ...  *.the practices of thick mapping in the Digital Humanities place a primacy on experiential navigation, epistemologies of representation, and the rhetorics of visualization. thus enables an unbounded multiplicity of

So we made it to 2013 what the point?

Having lived through yet again the end of the world, my first was in 1973 and that also had a comet to go along with it. I have to wonder what our  world  will be like for the next few decades until Sir Isaac Newton,  prophecy  of 2060 being the date of the  apocalypse   if you just believe that we're totally out of the clear.  We have a  period  of time before us  in which  a New  Eden  is to sprout to life amid all the ruin of the Doomtards dream of a  nightmare  ending that alas didn't come to pass. This New Eden will be strange from most with it's  nonjudgmental view  of earth changes and embracing of the here and now.  Being  present  in one's mind, body, community, company/enterprise is this new trail we're blazing and I look forward to seeing so many other out on it. Living life anew.  Be simple start smart and just work your way up, we have all the time in the world. BTW there is no point.  NRJ
