As I mentioned in my previous post I can not change the feed at FeedBurner without creating some problems.

I have created a FeedBurner feed for the new domain for this site, either visit Zen and more or click to subscribe.

This is the last post, once it has passed through FeedBurner I will remove the feed. See you at the new domain!

It turned out that I can not change the feed at FeedBurner without creating some problems.

I have created a new FeedBurner for the new site, either visit Zen and more or click to subscribe.

I have decided to move this blog to a domain of its own. All content is transferred to Zen and more and new posts will be made there.

I shall set up redirection for this blog and modify the RSS feed. If all works as planned the transfer will not affect those who read my blog and feed.

See you at the new domain: Zen and more.

Google has a collection of company videos at YouTube. There are a lot of sessions worth watching.

I came across Mindfulness with Jon Kabat-Zinn which is terrific. The workshop is an hour long but is well worth that time, it also includes a meditation session. Jon Kabat-Zinn talks about mindfulness and meditation, awareness, non-doing, beginner’s mind, to bring doing and being together, to be fully present.

Jon reminded me of the value of just tuning in to our own breathing as a simple way of bringing as back to here and now. Not with the intention to control our breathing, just to follow it and become more present.

I liked this presentation so much that I have ordered some of his books. Now I am looking forward to “Arriving at Your Own Door: 108 Lessons in Mindfulness”, “Mindfulness for Beginners” (CD) and “Wherever You Go, There You Are”.

I have been using AVG combinded Antivirus and Firewall for some time. When it was time to renew I decided to opt for free alternatives. First I tried AVG Free 8.0 but it messed up (as I see it) and installed addons in Firefox I could not remove without uninstalling AVG Free.

My choices of free software are avast! antivirus and Comodo Firewall. They work well together and are easy to set up.

Success Soul has An Interview with Leo Babauta on Simplicity, Clarity, Happiness and Success. Shilpan asked:

What is the single most important advice for my readers to use simplicity for their personal development?

I like Leo’s answer and his definiton of simplicity:

Simplicity is, at its core, just choosing the essential over the non-essential. It’s a way to make the most use of your time, to be more effective, and to do the things you love.

Start by identifying 4-5 things you really love — those are the essentials in your life — then build your life around those things. Eliminate as much of the rest as possible. The same is true of work tasks and projects, of the things you spend on, on the clutter in your house — choose the essential and eliminate the rest.

The essence of his answer sounds easy - choose the essential and eliminate the rest - but is harder to implement.

Freelance Folders posts about What To Do When You Feel Invisible.

Zen Habits has a guest post by Mary Jaksch from Goodlife Zen about How to Establish New Habits the No-Sweat Way. It is about how Kaizen can help us to establish new habits. Kaizen is something I have in my own blogging (and action) idea box, I do really like the concept.

Think Simple writes about How to Tap Your Nap. It is about the ability to use the initial stages of sleep to generate creative ideas or to solve a perplex problem. Power naps, shorter than 30 minutes, are great in many ways.

I am testing two different plugins that shall make your WordPress blog easier to read using mobile devices. Here at btwendel.com I have installed the WordPress Mobile Plugin and over at fortyplustwo I have installed WordPress Mobile Edition.

If you are reading this blog using a mobile, please let me know how it works.

I have posted about using coloured labels in Gmail which makes labels more visible and useful. But I was still not too fond of labels as they are applied in Gmail.

Then I came across Folders4Gmail which is a terrific script for Firefox with Greasemonkey installed. Suddenly your labels show up in a folder-like hierarchy. You controll the hiearchy with how you name your labels.

I have been browsing around blogs and also doing comment surfing, reading a comment in one blog and then checking that persons blog. It is interesting to see where one ends up when just going with the flow.

One of my favourite blogs is Zen Habits, it has to be in a post about Zen-related blogs.

Goodlife Zen has a post about Is there Life After Death?

Zendonut writes about Very Interesting Meditation Study From Harvard, similar to what I wrote about in Scientists probe meditation secrets.

cheerfulmonk.com has a post about Celebrating Baby Steps.

Transforming Stress Into Personal Power has a post about One Size Doesn’t Fit All. That post is filed under Lifelong Learning, something I like and also think is needed.

Success Soul has an interesting post about Bruce Lee’s 6 Ways to Develop a Kick-Ass Attitude.
