Short Evoke manifesto

1. Listen and study the area or problem your solving. Live it before fixing it.
2. do no harm (consider 3 generation impacts)
3. measure the output and come up with those metrics before starting.
4.have an independant 3rd party measure and a****s the plan before starting and after finishing.
5. Listen to those you are trying to help.

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.

Problem solving is 90% about context and framing

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…

Dark site and emergency planning for small enterprises

A lot of crises are amplified by small and medium sized businesses failures which can have immediate and long term economic impact. Disaster planning in advance can help these providers.


NGO's on the ground prior to an event can use IT plans like this to prepare for roll-outs. Ideally co-ordination plans would also be available.…

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. 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

Future

FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

public servants

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
