External Network Drive Part I

Why do this ActiveUnity?
Hard drives are nice aren't they? They allow lovely virtual storage that we hold so dear to our hearts. It serves many functions but one that we think of and utilize the most is the function for holding files like music, videos, and pictures. Our lifeline of virtual entertainment and creativity. The issue we're looking to solve with this ActiveUnity though, is the fact it's just all so god damn locked up and private!

What we really need is a way to share everything with our families or co-workers without the risk of having to open up our personal computer up to the world of the internet. Thus, the concept we are here to actively setup and leap head first over this issue: the external network drive.

Now we can have all of our music and movies and pictures and be able to access them from any computer in the house! Or allow your good buddy co-workers to listen to your music, and have them upload theres so you can listen to theirs as well. Of course there are many options of listening to each others music, but not when their computer is off, and not in the way of downloading and burning those said songs for your listening pleasure *anywhere*.

As far as my own personal experience in these types of activities I do have a big background in IT. I understand the fundamentals of how both hardware and networks work. I have undergone many IT troubleshooting activities in the past and do not fear them!!

The Era of Active Unity

So we all know dreams can be a direct representation of reality when properly followed through on. Well that's what this blog is all about. Here I will create what was previously thought of as my retirement dream (and still do to a larger scale), which is a tracking and sharing and teaching of the activities I want to learn, participate in, and master in my time here on earth. Making a list of those activities is something I suggest everyone reading this participates in, for it is probably one of the most motivating, enlightening and easiest activities one can start on.

It was brought to my attention, though, that there is no reason I can't start my soon to be widely used website, podcast, and perhaps printed journals NOW! Right here on blogger where I can receive feedback, as well as a free/easy-to-use vehicle for putting the rubber to the road. I'm realizing life is speeding along a lot quicker than I can fathom. And after creating my list I realize I've got more things to accomplish in my life than I'm sure I have time for! Better get started.

Why Active Unity you might ask? Why this concept? Well the two of those questions help answer each other. Convenient. I don't believe people truly understand and digest all the things they do until they explain or 'teach' their activities and concepts to others. My explaining to you the title of Active Unity allows me to put myself in a situation where I have to think closely on what otherwise could have been explained as a gut instinct; where all the thoughts synapsing away in my mind could have easily escaped into the black hole of my subconscious. Now I get to repeat those synapses and put them into terms others would understand, forcing myself out of my head and into yours. A novel idea. Here goes:

Activity, in itself, is life. Everything we do, every situation we put ourselves into, is a direct reflection of our inner evolution, our every changing life. And since all of this keeps building on top of itself, everything I have done and am doing effects everything I am doing and will do. A unity of my activities. Moving on from this point, much of what I am doing and what I have done has been incredibly influenced by the activities I read about, hear about, see, other people doing. Activity catapults activity and through action there is unity. Active Unity. Take what you see and build on it. I will.
