Tool for creating narratives: comic strip generator http://stripgenerator.com/
This isn't content, per se, but meta content.
A lot of people think better in pictures and understand graphics. I think The next version of evoke should use something like strip generator for letting people tell there stories and understand the context of daily life of those we are trying help.
This a very powerful tool, to share narratives: http://stripgenerator.com/…

Problem solving is 90% about context and framing
Problem solving is 90% about context and framing the issues, so that solutions are relevant.
I would like to see future evoke go deeper into problem and context. to understand the issues and constraints around the problems.
A lot of the solutions to problems are unsexy such as logistics, communication, education of solution and maintenance.
finally feedback and 3rd party verification of process is…

crisis resource delivery response using a bid auction mechanism for routing & allocation
here is a blog post about live crisis mapping in Haiti with an amazing video of a live map of the crisis unfolding. http://www.gogerty.com/?p=893
My hope for the future is that we move beyond, capturing the state on the ground using open source tools and more towards open source logistics on the ground. ad-hoc resources could be "bid" on in an auction format and distributed based on need. For example medicine, personnel etc. in…

a secret to pass on in 60 years.
I would most likely pass on very basic and un-interesting information about life. before everything become connected. I don't know how valuable it would be in the future. narrative and fact have value, but might only have value future value as novelty.
I am not sure I possess anything that is secret and of value for the future.
I guess I think the most important lessons aren't facts, but rather skills of listening and paying attention. good…

Toilets help educate women.
Having access to a toilet allows younger girls and women to go to school without fear of being harassed. I would urge reading the Big Necessity, by Rose George and then donating to building latrines for schools. Believe it or not, lack of Toilets are one of contributing factors to lower education for women.
Sometimes the root cause of a problem can only be understood by…

2020 super capacitors
it is 2020, and there are fewer transmission lines in the world and 1,000 more electricity grids. the us has 5 mega grids.
sustainable, reliable power is delivered via a portfolio of generation sources and types. transmission grids can cost up to $1m/mile for HVDC.
renewables are mostly intermittent supplies. (30% uptime) sunshine wind etc.
having storage in the form of new ultracapacitors could allow for stable…

Energy storage is key to energy freedom
many renewables (other than dams) are interemitant. wind and solar have a 30% uptime. baseload power is what a grid delivers. batteries are a great storage mechanism. ultracapacitors are a type of battery. learn more here. I have built a comparison spreadsheet for those who want a tool to understand the relationships.

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
