This ad, addressing Al Gore’s challenge to America, is set to run in The Washington Post, The New York Times and The Wall Street journal this week.

Al Gore recently gave a speech in Washington, DC that hasn’t received as much press as I thought it should for such a powerful message and brilliant plan for the future of our country. I believe Al Gore has been solidly planted in innovation and quietly working on making connections between some major issues in the world in order to map out ideas for real change. Because he has radical ideas, some of which are not popular, he may be perceived in a bad light. Please watch this video and decide for yourself.

Al Gore’s website 

GotVMail has enlisted Gary Busy is promote “the entrepreneur’s phone system,” which happens to be a very cool system for small business owners who have employees that work from home. With more people working from home these days, this is the wave of the future. 

I think it is excellent that they have crazy Busy giving us his business ideas. His ideas are quite entertaining and a bit bizarre. I guess that is the point. These videos are posted on YouTube for a viral advertising effect and look…it is working.

Yeondoo Jung has done something fascinating!!! He has taken children’s drawings and made them come to life in photos. I really wish I would have thought of that. Way to use that imagination. I bet they were fun to produce. These were done in 2005, so there is a lot of other cool work on the site to see too. Check it out. .  

This was published on Apartment Therapy yesterday and someone shared it with me today, so I thought I would share it with you too. This is such a beautiful and simple installation by Sam Spenser from Goldsmiths College in London. Fabulous!

   

The Watercone is the most effective invention that I have seen to get clean drinking water. Amazingly simple, portable and brilliant. The only problem now is cost, but I believe they are working to get these mass produced, so they will be more cost effective to provide to the villages that need them the most.

I just bought the book Design Like You Give a Damn: Architectural Response to Humanitarian Crises. The Watercone is described on page 285.

This is my first posting via ShareThis. Here’s what happened:

My friend, Tangelia (the knower of all things awesome), sent me this article published on Green Upgrader via email. From her email, I linked to the site. When I finished reading, there was a little button at the bottom that said “SHARETHIS” with a little icon. Curiously, I clicked on this and went through the steps of sharing. First, I picked my blog application (WordPress). Second, I filled in my url and password information. And lastly, the link that you see below appeared on my website. Pretty cool.

To follow up, I went into WordPress and am now writing this little ditty about how the link got right here….all this for a link. I really thought it would duplicate the article onto my blog, but I guess that would defeat the purpose of sharing the information and driving people back to the original site. Still a good thing, but seems rather lazy.
