Favorite Links
I wanted to take a second and drop some links to website I've found particularly inspiring and challenging.
http://www.ted.com - Technology, Entertainment, and Design conferance
TED is a conferance that brings the greatest minds in various fields together to give 18 minute presentations on whats new in their line of work. Everything from biologists, nano-eng., game designers to humanitarians, and social justice workers are featured. I can't rave about this site enough, if you were to only follow one website, make it this one!
http://www.longnow.org - Long Now Foundation
Started by two premire social innovators Stewart Brand and Kevin Kelly, this foundation focuses on long term thinking when tackling world issues. Once a month they hold a seminar in San Fransico, that features a social innovator, historian, scientist etc. They have the lectures posted on line and they are very well organized talks, that are geared towards problem solving. A social innovators dream!
http://www.iraqbodycount.org - Bringing the war closer to home
While not a social innovation site, it is important non-the-less. I like many other people often forget the cost of war. It is nearly impossible for me to conjure up any notion of what it must be like to be either a soldier or an Iraqi civilian. This site puts a face on the wars victims, it's a lesson no one should ever forget.

Nice to see a Conway person on Evoke! I went to Hendrix :). A lot of agents are showing their favorite TED videos around the network as evidence, so you should definitely check those out if you like TED talks. This one is one of my favorites: http://www.urgentevoke.com/video/isabel-allende-on-passion?xg_sourc...

Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle.

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.

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.
