I spent the weekend with a great bunch of people here in Boulder going over what the Boulder Community vision is for the years now unil 2020. It was pretty cool to see and speak to so many people that had a similar vision as I did about the community I live in. I am very happy to be lucky enough to live in a great community that has access to the areas I like to spend time in and have people I like to interact with.

So it is only fitting that I get to participate in the ideas and building out of the Boulder Community idea/site. We are looking to get some new functionality up on a site for everyone to read and comment on later this week. Once I have more about this great idea, I will be posting new informaiton. Until then, it is back to the building of Gaia.

This is such a great video showing people that when faced with such adversity have struggled through to eek out oa living while helping the earth greatly through recycling. Really, in this video you see twhat whom we should be looking to for ideas. Why close our selves off from ideas at this point. The experts dont always know the answers.
This video centers around a group of people in Cairo that are left to deal with the garbage that is not put through the recyling process but dumped in their backyard, more or less. It really shows what is possible if we as a community were to fully grasp hold of what is possible to recycle.

Another week gone through. When you think back about what is accomplished, or missed, in a week of people's lives it is pretty stunning all the items that occur. We made some great move forwards on Gaia and the tools that are coming down the pipe for the community. Pretty powerful stuff to hand out to the people of the world to spread the word and enrgy.


Often times I think about about how the tools we are building would be of use to me in my life. This adds a bit of perspective to the work. We can all get caught up in the day to day grind of work but I dont seem to have that problem. I really enjoy going into work to see all the people who are truly trying to make a difference in their lives and the people on their respective online communities. That is so cool and powerful. More power to them I say.

So with that I can say that with the team at Zaadz and the  passion put into the tools, the community is going benefit greatly . I can't wait to show it off to the group.

Tomororw I am going to get out and enjoy some great weather and my bike. With winter closing in here in Colorado, you have to get out on the days that are still warm. And tomorrow it is gonna be in the 70's. So with that, I am off and looking forward to some 'Summer Dreaming'.
