Sit Down, Rise Up 24 Hour Meditation Marathon
On November 6th and 7th, the ID Project held our largest fundraiser to date in the form of a 24- hour Meditation Marathon in the window displays of ABC Carpet & Home. We have raised over $30,000 for the organization to develop as a true community center, develop a radio show and our activism projects in the coming year. Donations are still trickling in as we also need additional support in order to raise funds for the organization to continue providing great classes, events and projects for the upcoming year, and expand the scope of our transformative community.

About the Event
Our “Sit Down, Rise Up" 24hour Meditation Marathon is aimed at raising funds for the organization to continue providing our classes, events and projects for the upcoming year.
We will be sitting in the window boxes at ABC Carpet & Home on Broadway in Manhattan near Union Square from 7pm Friday Nov. 6th until 7pm Saturday Nov. 7th, 2009. The participants will be sitting in 4-hour shifts with walking meditation and yoga breaks. There will be a kick-off event which you are all invited to attend at 6pm on Friday evening, it will feature a dedication of the space and short opening ceremony.
ABC Carpet & Home is a company dedicated to the principles of sustainability through responsible manufacturing and retail. Their storefront location will provide us an ideal space for us to raise awareness of our organization, the practice of meditation and the insight of the interconnectedness.
The fundraising for this event will be done by individual IDP community members through the generosity of friends and family who sponsor them as they meditate for part or all of the event. Each member participating in the event will be expected to commit to a set fundraising goal of $480.
We hope to establish this event as an annual fundraiser allowing us to eventually partner with other meditation centers across the city.

As has become habit over the past couple of years, this past week I headed over to the NYU Interactive Telecommunications Program Winter Show. ITP is a graduate program started by Red Burns with a mission to “explore the imaginative use of communications technologies — how they might augment, improve, and bring delight and art into people’s lives.†While not as robust as last year’s Spring Show (due to the fact that the Spring show is often a display of many of the grad students’ master theses), the Winter Show definitely lived up to ITP’s vision of producing imaginative uses of tech.mcse exam papers I’ll share some of my favorite projects.As would be appropriate, the first project on display when you walked into the show was ITP Guest Book, a web project meant to be accessed via an iPhone or iPod Touch that helped show goers leave comments on specific projects and navigate the space via a built in map and project categorization system. While I loved the conceptmcts 70-562 I didn’t really find myself utilizing the app, preferring to organically navigate the space and save my commenting for the blog, where I could leverage a bit more of a hindsight view of things.Many of the show’s projects were less utilitarian of course,microsoft certificate with a whole slew that fell on the more artistic side of the technological spectrum. My absolute favorite in the arts category was tek(s)nesonic, which featured a projected screen which captured those that walked in front of a camera and then mapped falling letters and numbers (which viewers could enter themselves) into the image, each of which were associated with different sound samples. People who found themselves in the frame could then interact with the falling characters, “catching†them and activating the associated sounds. I found myself delighted when a P would land on my shoulders and start beeping until I moved and it continued to fall. Ingenious.
