Do You Want a Link to Your Blog from Minding The Planet?

Hello readers! I am trying a little experiment to see who is reading this blog. Anyone who posts a link in their blog to the permalink of this blog entry will get a reciprocal link back to their blog from within the body of this blog entry. I'll search periodically for sites that link to this entry, and when I find new ones, I'll add links back to them from this entry.

Why am I doing this? I'd like to form a network of reciprocal links with the blogs of my readers.

As well as a way of saying "thank you" to my readers, this will also help me understand who is reading my blog, and will also enable my readers to discover each others' blogs. And it's a way for my readers to give me feedback about what they want to see more (or less) of on my blog: just put your comments for me in your post and I'll see them when I find your post.

Please note that this is NOT a chain letter, or anything like that -- This is just an easier way to manage the process of forming reciprocal link relationships with my readers. It's 1-to-1: You link to me and I link to you. In fact, it seems to be the only effective way to build a blogroll of my readership since just searching for sites that have linked to me in the past doesn't necessarily find lurkers who read but haven't linked explicitly. I want to see the blogs of my readers -- and I want my readers to know about each other's blogs. It would be cool if there was a more automated way of doing this (trackbacks are one way, in theory at least, but they don't always seem to work consistently  for everyone).

[Also: I do reserve the right to not link back to blogs with content that I don't endorse (such as adult content, junk advertising and spam, etc.). It will probably take at least several days before I start adding the first links here, so be patient. I have to wait for your links to get indexed in Technorati so that I can find them (and make sure you have added your blog to Technorati so that they and I find your post)]

Of the pages that Technorati reports are linking to me, here are the sites that have linked directly to this article so far:

Nova's Trip to Edge of Space

  • Stepsedgestratosphere
    In 1999 I flew to the edge of space with the Russian air force, with Space Adventures. I made it to an altitude of just under 100,000 feet and flew at Mach 3 in a Mig-25 piloted by one of Russia's best test-pilots. These pics were taken by Space Adventures from similar flights to mine. I didn't take digital stills -- I got the whole flight on digital video, which was featured on the Discovery Channel.

Nova & Friends, Training For Space...

  • Img021
    In 1999 I was invited to Russia as a guest of the Russian Space Agency to participate in zero-gravity training on an Ilyushin-76 parabolic flight training aircraft. It was really fun!!!! Among other people on that adventure were Peter Diamandis (founder of the X-Prize and Zero-G Corporation), Bijal Trivedi (a good friend of mine, science journalist), and "Lord British" (creator of the Ultima games). Here are some pictures from that trip...

    Peter F. Drucker was my grandfather. He was one of my principal teachers and inspirations all my life. My many talks with him really got me interested in organizations and society.

He also builds carbon fiber trimarans in his spare time, and studies animal intelligence.

He doesn't have a Web site yet, but I'm working on him...
  • Marin Spivack
    Marin Spivack is my brother. He is the one of the only western 20th generation lineage holders of the original Chen Family Tai Chi tradition in China. He's been practicing Tai Chi for about 6 to 10 hours a day for the last 10 years and is now one of the best and most qualified Tai Chi teachers in America. He just returned from 3 years in China studying privately with a direct descendant of the original Chen family that created Tai Chi. The styles that he teaches are mainly secret and are not known or taught in the USA. One thing is for sure, this is not your grandmother's Tai Chi: This is serious combat Tai Chi -- the original, authentic Tai Chi, not the "new age" form that is taught in the USA -- it's intense, physically-demanding, fast, powerful and extremely deadly. If you are serious about Tai Chi and want to learn the authentic style and applications, the way it was meant to be, you should study with my brother. He's located in Boston these days but also travels when invited to teach master classes.
