With step-by-step instructions, helpful technical illustrations and intarsia graphs, plus high-fashion photos of all the finished projects, Pretty in Punk is the only authority on anti-authority knitting.

1: Get you back in touch with the nature - of your body. Usually that's refreshing.

2: [We can] start from the one starting end of the day. [Let's check up and 'secure' from one end.]

Because if you have least 'crap' in [and around] yourself from the very starting part of the day, you'd be better off for the rest of the day. [Especially, it probably is meaningful to have focus on the starting up, waking up process of our body - including brains and neural systems and blood circulation and so on.]

-Thus the idea of '8-10' - signifying how we try to smartly work on 'transition' from the morning, waking up process, and we do collab on this over the network, across the globe, with everyone.

[- *We might even find that our morning is filled with full of brutal stuff...kind of?]

If you put crap in your body, then it can make everything after that tougher. Starting with oatmeal is better for your blood sugar systems than starting with high fructose corn syrup and refined sugars - found in cereals and found in drinks.

. [Hope we'd be able to measure the perfomance and 'feel' difference of the day. There already are some research? done: NPR's oatmeal talk, and Wholefood's oatmeal thing: We will quote/link them soon. ]

So we start to reclaim and secure our lives from this side.

And if we secure first 2 hours (I know there are lot of tough stuff in there) then say we got our starting base of the day secured.

Then we might be able to move on to tackle 10-12, then we may be able to tackle further...

We are a living creatures, what we put in our mouth sure affect how we go later (usually very quick). And if we get quirky, exhausted in first few hours of the day, [and what's available as our lunch is again full of HFCS and refined sugars and then additives and good amount of salt and so on]...we just spiral out...

That's the idea. Iron out 'crap' came into our lives from one end and streamline and calibrate, recalibrate ourselves.

And our design of appliances, PC, web can be coordinated with this effort.[or those tools and information architecture thing can be used for achieving this purpose.]

And I want this to be 'common campaign idea'.

Tree Hugger, BBC website, World Changing, Green Options, Wikipedia, Squeak, OLPC, Apple computers and Microsoft and Freeware people, Open source people, and Flickr people - all can work on this, work for this. Wholefoods to Walmart to Tesco can have a section which provide 'really better things' for our morning hours. Food makers can shift their research efforts and really offer better breakfast stuff.

So that we would be able to work on this transitional time of history, with more sanity and vitality and senses.

We get to our 'motor' - engine - starting smoothly and in good shape every morning, We can't make it cranky or starving or 'duped' or spiked from the morning, because that'd make tougher and tougher to go through the rest of the day, which tend to get filled with - especially when you have unlucky 'typical American day' - whole loads of crap.

*Back in touch with the nature within yourself,

I don't know having good glass of just simple water would really curve all the adult diseases - we are having in USA and across the world. Or that would makes us smarter or more humane or not. Will it makes us more ethical? - I don't know.

But there are things to be thought about and explored here. Say if one comes back to get in touch with senses with oneself's body - physical condition and then her/his senses, scanning, filtering, detecting and thinking capacity is enhanced or re-calibrated. [like hospital with nature thing - if it only sells soft drinks, what's it?]

With that re-calibrated senses and filtering capacity, thinking capacity she or he'd be able to deal with other things.

And that might be one of the capacity we need to recalibrate within ourselves to get out all the craps out of our way, in our foods, in our softwares, web architecture and so on.

We tend to put crap over the crap. And say it will work. We've been doing that for long.

But we need to come back to be able to say 'that's crap, that's holey goddamn crap!'.

Increasing such autonomous agents, might make world go this transition, with bit more fun and intelligence and many more faces of - us human beings, with smiles, energies, tolerance, and even care.



[below is draft, sorry for viewers who came in and saw. We are very busy so sometimes we are like bad punk bands sludging over worst, lowest gig performance. ]




1: It's a glass of water. And that's kind of how it starts every day. And probably this is one of the things/items in earliest hours or minutes of our lives, every single day.

2: Why this is related to BBC Radio Green or the design and architecture of Global Green Portal? : I will explain the line of thoughts.

3: This is even relevant to how we design OS, Operating Systems and PCs and gadgets - and neworks.

Is there surely science behind this ide

Before Punk rock got wide public recognition it was in the womb of psychedelic rock born from crazy Yippies. The first and most praised Punk rocker who gave life to the genre was best known as Iggy Pop (Poppy of the Iguanas made Iggy Pop by the Stooges). Iggy Pop was of continual garage rock culture, later along came The Clash who because of joining Aerosmith on a single duet gave rise to the genre of Punk rock. By 1976 Punk emerged to the billboard public radio known as the mainstream media. Many punks were pissed off by this recognition and by such public exposure seeing as Punk rock opened its doors to countless hipsters. Soon after there was two kinds of Punk, Hollywood Punk (the mainstream punk rockers) and Hardcore Punk (the underground punks, real punks) who ended up in a factional fued but the hardcore punk faction collapsed after much turmoil and arguement especially violence. Many were then led to believe Punk was dead because the mainstream punks purged their hard work from existence. However The Exploited's 'Punk Isn't Dead' let everyone know they didn't vanish but hit a temporary stasis where they were isolated communally and suddenly returned. Because of the disaster that caused Punk Rock's fall they were forced to remake it entirely through Hardcore causing many old and original punks to fall under the poser line. Once filled with tipped hair and drabby clothes it began sporting mohawks, skater shoes and other aesthetics involving ripped jeans and patch'n'spike leather jackets. What's even more sad is that Fred Durst and his band Limp Bizkit sounded way more punk than alot of the mainstream babblers and they aren't even considered punk rock, hell they're nu-metal but lean closer to hardcore than all those sissies. Punk rock by the 90's began to have more skater punk bands as they originally introduced the skate boards that became a catchy culture. According to real punks today, most of the so-called punk rock bands on the mainstream from mall-punk to pop-punk are pure sissy posers who wear gay preppy clothes and even more homo fauxhawks. Avril Lavigne was known as the biggest poser of them all being all her music leaned pop-rock to plain pop, being the inherint idol of the 'preppy-punk' trend that followed; preppy-punks began wearing factory fresh jeans with intentional bleach stains circling ripped holes, along with that was black dress shirts with pink neck ties (hinting at Yuppiedom) and converse shoes met with easy grab cotton wristbands (winking at plastic manufacturing design); preppy-punks also listened to Avril as well as bubblegum punk bands (many who were actually emo bands) such as Good Charlotte, AFI, All American Rejects, American HiFi and Simple Plan. Punk rock has recovered from the sicky sweet teeny boppers making punk rock into a backwards version of Brittney Spears, they are making the same noise as they did before this inauthenticity. Now the punk rock factions have divided into parties, on the hardcore side sits the Liberal Punks and Satanic Punks whereas on the hollywood side sits the Skate Punks and the Hipster Punks. Liberal punks are the last real punk rockers now, satanic punks have pretty much gone nuts with the elitism! Skate punks are the only rebel punkers there are, hipster punks have all become a bunch of sissy scene punks. Punk rockers have also turned their focus to Indie punk which is a newer sort of punk rock but is not as psycho and less angry than all the shit that spawned in the past few years.
