I’m going to make it my goal today to treat all others as I wish to be treated. I’m doing this in honor of the unveiling of The Charter for Compassion. The Charter is a result of a desire to find an underlying value that brings the five major world religions together. The Charter was made possible by TEDprize.

Tumblr. would not want me to be too wordy so I am going to let the video below do the talking. It was made public about an hour ago…

Listen to and see the words of the Charter for Compassion here:

creativesear.ch

Haven’t gotten to try this too much, but it seems very promising. I’ll keep coming back.

alextcone:

Thank @TEDchris for sharing this new search aggregator. I hope that I can get in the habit of using it.

Creativesear.ch is a pretty creative URL by itself, but with a homepage aggregation of twitter, news, google images, wikipedia, blogs, flickr, google search etc this could really change my search experience. Give it a try today and let me know what you think at alextcone[at]gmail[dot]com. Who knows if it will be the next big thing, but if TED’s curator is tweeting about it, that means it is probably worth a few seconds of your time.
