Today's interesting bits.

Aloha All,

This is a one-off email.  You aren't on a list.

I signed up with FEMA as a CERT facility.  I think it would be useful to put on a self-sufficiency clinic next month and try to establish a more formal network of people who have training skills and services they can provide to the Puna district if -ummm- WHEN the economy tanks.

I'd like to put on a fair day at someone's farm or some other place people can come, eat, drink and meet each other.  Even a church facility would be a fine starting place as long as we keep the proselytism in a designated booth. 

I'd like everyone to help.  Maybe we can arrange quarterly or even monthly renaissance faire at which people can come together, share friendship and knowledge, and learn how to work together during adversity.  Email me if you are interested as a individual or as a sponsor...or if your group has something to showcase and you would like to help organize.

I understand that everyone is terrified of FEMA, but my policy has always been that change is more easily accomplished from the inside. If you don't like the government - and no one does - taking control of our own community and teaching people to take care of themselves and each other is the first step.

We need to begin now.

Thanks to Mike Aiello, I will have a more readable blog online soon.  Right now it's parked at poweredbyaloha.net awaiting my creative juices - or those of someone who has creative juices.  I may eventually be able to blog directly from Google 1+.  The old blog is still at: tergeist.wordpress.com

Better than flouride.

In the financial markets, where both goods and expectations are being traded, and where speculative transactions are used to hedge against other speculative transactions. Vogl describes the principle as follows: "Someone who doesn't have a product, and neither expects to have it nor will have it, sells this product to someone who also neither expects nor wants to have it, and in reality does not receive it."

I'd like to know who made Obama king.  Really. The DREAM act by fiat?  I'm going to guess that by about 2014 people will have gotten good and tired of starving while rich politicians give money to their friends and will get off their asses and do something about it.

TED talks and birds fly.

On the NRC's blog: Note the picture. 

Does anyone really know what time it is?
