Dude Ching or I Dude?

[meekon5]

Too late Dude I'm on the way.

Actually it's really good as a spiritual practice because I am having to think about the text and elements in ways I rarely do. Ususally I take the easy way out and just look at the main body of the text, but this way I am stripping it back to it's essential elements and really looking at how the text is built up.

It's giving me new levels of insight into the book I haven't had before.

I've finished the trigrams more or less and am working on the lines. I have already got some work on this bit:

See it's taken me quite a bit of time to compile this data from my many sources to begin a proper adaptation.

I will include a lot of these notes as appendices just because they are interesting to me.

You see I am essentially re-building the whole thing from scratch. Oh and I am doing all the illustrations and diagrams myself as well.

(yes i do spend a lot of time on trains with very little to do  )

I've had a headache just looking at the picture. I dig your efforts man.

Hey there Dudes--

I dabbled in the I Ching myself some times.  I can't possibly claim to know enough to do any serious analytical work on your doc, but I'd love to help out where I could.  I'd be happy to proof/edit/give impressions. 

's all good either way.

Didn't touch this (the Dude Ching) over the holiday. I'm just getting back to it. I'm assigning places and people from the Holy Canon then seeing if it still works.

Let me know how it works out m5, i can give you notes

[Rev. Gary (revgms)]

Dude that's cool, you still working on this. I would totally put this on my bookshelf, thought I Dude sounded cooler, but that's like just my opinion.

cheers

Yes I came up with a way of matching the trigrams to people and areas in the Big Lebowski, but on reflection that would create too much of a Lebowskist text. and I want to create a more pin dudeist text (or both).

I'm surprised nobody tried iDude yet.

Steve Jobs is pretty damned undude.  Branding anything in an Apple-esque way is not worthy of our Dudeliness, even in parody.

He's credited with being an inventor, which is not true.  He founded Apple by stealing the hard work of his ex-business parter, Steve Wozniak, leaving him out in the cold, and then proceeded to 'innovate' technologies that others had created.

At best he's an innovater, taking things like the tablet PC and making it more commercially "hip".  He's invented nothing.  Putting something in white plastic is not the technological revolution people hail it to be

[meekon5]

At best Jobs is an innovative marketer, or has an innovative marketing department.

There were much better spec tablet pc's released a couple of years before the iFad, with better connectivity, but they just didn't get the hype that Jobs gave his baby.



Even then the touch interface  and screen was not even apples innovation.

I remember the Newton, friend of mine bought one and brought it to work bragging like a monkey who had just scored a big banana. In a few weeks I bought a Sharp version of the same kind of device at half the price that could do virtually everything the Newton could do and more. My friend's banana was rotting by then turning brown. He was NOT a happy camper and suddenly lost his fandom of Apple.

I had the Sharp Wizard Organizer................



I also bought this one..................
