Hi Ben,
As it turns out I had already come accross your site on my own, I believe you are on the first page of google for "Minfulness blog" or something of that type.
I found it to be one of the better sites, although not ideal for me because I am interested in pure awareness meditation whereas you seem to be exploring many different types of meditation and spiritual activity.
I very much liked your 30 day journal of mindfulness - infact I haven't found anything else similiar anywhere on the net yet.
As for Shinzen... yes I like him too. But I'm not too keen on his "new age spiritual guide" feel - I much prefer people like Matteau Ricard.
