Very interested in getting your thoughts on the Peace Innovation class (strangely I referred all sorts of people to both the FB and Peace Innovation cla**** but failed to audit them myself).

I'm a researcher for BJ Fogg at Stanford, very interested in games, mass collaboration and improving the world. I'm the voice behind @PeaceDot on Twitter and FB and the new head of the Peace Innovation Lab.

... And I'm contemplating planting a more ambitious vegetable garden this spring.

I liked seeing some of the projects you have been involved in and I'm looking forward to hearing about the projects your planning once the snow melts (I can relate!).

If you would like to debrief on any of the process aspects of the projects you've been involved in you could submit it under a Special Agent Mission: Power of Process

Cheers,
Perry
