Crowdsourcing, Transparency, and Change

Tech Review just had an article about "Crowdsourcing closer government scrutiny" in which they talk about some of the recent efforts within the whole gov2.0 push to use web-based media to drive more information (not just data) to the public in the hopes of informing and galvanizing useful public pressure. Much of the article talks about the well-known Sunlight LabContinue

Thomas Friedman interview framing Energy Technology as the next great global industry

Here’s an excerpt of an interview with Thomas Friedman on CNN framing Energy Technology as the next great global industry:

BLITZER: Because they want to -- people want to see results.

FRIEDMAN: Yes.

BLITZER: And the most tangible result will be jobs.

FRIEDMAN: Right.

BLITZER: And, right now, the job situation is not good.

FRIEDMAN: The numbers -- we have gone through the first phase, which was defaults in home mortgages from people who shouldn't have been getting mortgages.

Now we're gett… Continue

Farsight: Hawai'i's Shared Futures

The Reboot, Speakers, and Human Nature

Good Morning, all.  Diving back into Summit planning today, going over our roster of speakers for the Reboot and wrestling with the fun logistical details like venue, menus, and costs.  Oh what fun.  But also spending a little attention on our very cool set up for Day 2, which our participants will really enjoy and [...]

Aloha kakahiaka, everyone.  I hope everyone had a great weekend; we certainly did!  Today we’re catching up on updating some tactical plans for a client and then we’ll be working on more original writing and presentations, namely the nonprofit futures project and working further on a Summit presentation. Over the weekend we helped a client facilitate [...]
