Feedback Loops

I have been thinking today how nice it would be to have an impartial and consistent feedback loop. A way that as soon as you had an idea you could bounce it off someone and have instant impartial feedback. I experience that type of feeling occasionally with Bach when I can catch him, but then we have to go our seperate ways and do other things, that is why it would be nice to have a constant link. Some might point to prayer and revelation, and that is true and wonderful, but I don't forsee in the near future the ability to have a constant stream of that feedback, and sometimes "noise" has a great tendency to drown that out easier. There is also something to be said for the "down to earth" feedback you can get from peers.

Just some thoughts I had when coming up with some ideas for the first edition of what will become a Herd anthology.

Herd History

Talking with Bach earlier I realized that we are getting up towards our 10 year anniversary as a Herd and I thought I could start a special project related to that. For the project I will need everyone to be working on sending me information/stories that you have or want to write and I will compile it. For example it would be nice if everyone recounted their version of the establishment of the club independently and I could sort through the indescrepancies and get a clear view of things. Also, really helpful would be period information of journals, emails, photos or the like. I have some things, but I think unforunately for emails I won't have the pre mission stuff. I have catalogued the original yahoo group and other web collaborations we have done so that is nice and most anything contemporary I have pretty good records. Please let me know your thoughts and get me info so I can start with this, it is going to take the time I have before the actual anniversary. (Oh and if anyone knows when that is let me know)
