This is the world on Docudharma.

Riffing off buhdy’s You Maniacs!!! essay, I just wanted to post another note of gratitude to all those folks out there who participated in the Dharmathon.   A very generous total of $400 was received. In addition to that, I am grateful for the enthusiasm and support of everyone who posts here.   Thank you all!  Together we will keep the tubes flowing and the vibes broadcasting so dharmaniacs can Yell Louder!!!  Apparently,  the world IS listening.   Helloooo New Zealand!

The world map is from a couple nights ago. I don’t know the exact hours but it shows 100 visitors reading our blog.  The  map of the US was captured around 5 PM on Thursday afternoon.   I think it’s amazing.   In a virtual community separated by great distances, I feel closer to many of the people I have met here than the people I know in physical life.   Thanks again for being here!

On another note, I’m leaving in a few minutes for a retreat to some magic hot springs… to relax and commume with the spirits and the stars.  I’ll be back Monday afternoon!

  1. and try not to trash the place while I’m gone.

  2. If someone wants to help get me a decent job in a place where we don’t have a little flag, such as Iceland, South America, Australia, Spain, maybe even Africa… I’ll consider moving so we’re represented in those places. 🙂

    The generous donations to docud should keep the place humming for a year or so, no?

  3. with all those folks in South America, Africa, Australia and Russia.

    I blame George Bush (I will figure out why later)

    On thing is for sure though. Those poor folks don’t know what they are missing!

  4. Thanks for sharing with us.

    With our cheerleader’s help of screaming louder, we’ll have the world viewing before long.    

    Enjoy your retreat!!!

    with all you dharmaniacs!  

    After mostly lurking for quite some time, I became comfortable enough with what goes on here to begin commenting and contributing some essays.  The camaraderie I found here while lurking caused me to want to contribute.

    Thanks, y’all.

  5. I can’t help but assign names to some of those red dots.

    Good retreating OTB!

    crank it up


  6. In six short months look how far we’ve come!  Sure does look

    like this wonderful place is where the cool kids hang 😉

    Hope you have a great (and well deserved) retreat, OTB.  We

    adults will try to keep the place clean while you’re away.

    That Portland dot?  However, that looks more like a West-sider dot – I’m way northeast of there in the city…

    And as a matter of fact, that looks way south, too…might even be Salem or Corvallis…looks a bit far north to be Eugene…

    Oh okay, I’ll stop now…

    ;-P

    Well, whoever that is…I’m sure they’re cool, too!

    🙂

    I must ask, though – have we nobody in Bend?  Or anywhere east of the Cascades?  Or anyone else anywhere in the state besides the other dot that looks to maybe be maybe Roseburg or thereabouts?  I’m “tsk-tsk’ing” Medford and Ashland, right now…

    ………………………

    I now see what needs to be done.  I need to spread myself all over Oregon, and then we’ll take over the blog!!!

    Muah, ha ha!!!

    Whoops…did I just say that out loud?

  7. C’mon!  Speak up!  I thought I was the only one.

  8. look ma! I’m on tv!!

  9. Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes!

  10. It looks like I’m not the only Vancouverite.

    I think The Pope is here.

  11. available? I would like a Smiley Face, please!!

    aka “Missouri” wasn’t represented on the map!  What possible glitch in the system caused that to happen?  We Misery Folk are solid Maniacs!

    enjoy that retreat…. 🙂

    Cape Cod is tagged or not, there’s too many of us Massholes here!!!

    I don’t think it is.

    Then I thought, just in case you do this to us again next week, I want to be able to say….”see, I was here!”  

    Yay, me!!!!

    So since OTB is off for a little R & R…anybody up for a food fight????
