March Reskilling Blog and Podcast

Another Reskilling and Reusing Event happened in Portland neighborhood … calling it the March Reskilling and Reusing event.

The PDF slides are presented here as well as the synchronized sound file (as mp3) for simultaneous viewing/listening.  Who needs YouTube when you can do the sound/images yourself.  Enjoy!

Reskilling — March 2018

There was Dare to Care meal serving for kids, then Committee meeting for Health and Education after that, so this meeting got started late, and the staff kicked us out before the full throated event unfurled–so it’s only 45 short minutes long.

October Reskilling and Reusing Event

When:  Tuesday, October 31st at 6:30pm to 7:45pm

Where: Portland Library on 35th and Northwestern Pkwy, in the main recreation/meeting hall.

What happens: Create opportunity for participants to listen and speak about reskilling and reusing ideas and actions.  Thus generating ideas and sentiment for doing things with more resilience and awareness of the importance of personal competence and appropriate interdependence.

How: Slide presentation and hearing of recent Anchor article as a backup if no one steps up to share their own experiences.  Goal of Skyping to visionary leader of the community is in the offing.

Who:  Anyone; open to the public.  Typically the meeting is occupied exclusively by human beings.

The slide show PDF and audio of the event will be posted to this blog soon after the event in case you couldn’t attend.

The uploading of the PDF and audio may not get many hits in the near term, but in the long run, the ideas can be analyzed by Machine Artificial General Intelligence probes so as to give the robot-thinkers an idea or two about how to do this thing called existing-on-earth-in-tune.

Here’s the slideset discussed in the event in PDF format:

Reskilling and Reusing –October2017

Here’s two different recordings of the event, both of which appear to have come across with reasonable sound quality:

September Reskilling Reuse Event

While it is hard hearted to hear politicians say to Puerto Ricans that they must change their lifestyles to that of playing catch with a baseball with their children rather than having kids playing on the electronic toys since the electricity grid is down and there’s no sign of it coming back for a long time…yes, it is hard hearted…but this is the new reality due to social and environmental features of our time.  Now more than ever, the focus on resilience skills, including reskilling and reusing and life-hacking is the practical magic for our future until someone invents cheap fusion power–but that’s not on the horizon, is it.  So, another monthly reskilling/reusing/lifehacking event took place for review — both slides and audio for full effect.  One might argue that every month is packed with ideas that could take the interested student all month to fully grasp the nuances and apply, to the point of re-habituation, to their own lives.  But I digress.  Here’s the info:

Should work.  If it doesn’t, I’ll circle around later to fix.

Life is short — take time to learn to reskill and reuse it

Reskilling and ReUsing and LifeHack Meet Space Event

Come gather ’round people, wherever you are from –the free, open to the public reskilling/reusing/lifehack event is Tuesday, August 29th at 6pm at the Portland Public Library at 33rd and Portland Ave/Northwestern Pkwy.  As we do every last-Tuesday of the month until 7:30pm, we will meet, greet, converse in the all-purpose room in the lower level of the library.  This is an opportunity to share a passion for growing in wisdom about what practical things we can do about anything we can think of.  This is a lifestyle thing, so expect parts of real-life to be in attendance.  Share your tools, gadgets, word-spins, or feelings–and listen to others who want to do the same.  The more resilient and sustainable, the better, of course–since it’s so much fun to pretend that maybe WalMart might not exist some day… ahem.

 

Here’s the slideset in PDF:

Reskilling and Reusing –August 2017

and here’s a link to the 12 steps of permaculture that was discussed during the meeting by our very own Portlander– Simon:

12 Principles of Permaculture by David Holmgren

The audio file is only 24 MB which isn’t that big for 103 minutes of good solid audio content.  Enjoy!

Here’s the laptop recording, which is bigger (ca 70MB) and not as audible:
