last night i went to this astrology lecture in SF. it was titled, "astrology and the art of healing". it was offered through the SF Astrology Society, a group that meets once a month at fort mason.

the content of the lecture was pretty interesting. it discussed astrology from the perspective of conception and gestation, and how all the planets were influencing your chart AND of course, your mother, thus making the period of gestation and the MOMENT of conception actually quite relevant, astrologically.

the dude's name was Tad Mann. he's written 20 books so far. you can check him out here.

wednesday night, i attended a "social media mixer" hosted by my web designer's company, hyperarts. seriously, if you need a PRO website, contact them. my website is pretty barren since i closed my biz, but you can still find it here, just for kicks.

back to the social media part, we were a group of professionals that decided we wanted to hear more about other professional's thoughts on the subject. there was a surgeon from UCSF that shared how having youtube video's on a website separate from the general UCSF website led to better relationships with patients. trippy! what else...hyperarts launched a brand new website, specific to the social media conversation. pretty cool!

lastly, i saw ben harper at the fillmore the other night. he was with his new group "relentless 7". i've never been one of the ben harper-heads, but i went to hang out with an old friend. the music was good. i watched myself trailing off during parts where other people were "finding god" and it reminded me how lucky we all are to like what we like. he did a cool cover of Queen's "under pressure", which of course at first sounded like "ice ice baby" at the beginning...admittedly, this was the song that struck me more than any of the night. it wasn't a new song, but i'd never heard it. struck me.
