I've finally gotten a chance to update my website. I found a nibbler for the Nickel-a-Meal Campaign and figure it is time to clean house before all the fans and relatives come over for a visit.
In my update I quote extensively from Jeff Abbott's recent novel Trust Me. He bills it as a book "on the cutting edge of terror," in part because of how the bad guys use the Internet.
Personally, I have some problems with the way the collective engagement and connectivity elements of this tool are always portrayed as something just the antagonists get to us. Very seldom do real life heroes or heroines use this perfect tool of collaboration for socially just purposes and to organize a truly inspired super-power response to evil in all its form. Luke and Aubrey spend more time killing people and getting in fights or running from the law than they doing harnessing the power of participation!
My feeling anyway ... what you got to say about it all?

GETTING NOTICED
I love ideas that begin to grow on their own. Unfortunately, sometimes it takes a long time and people lose interest or the ability to keep a project moving forward without instantaneous progress.
Entertainment Justice is slow going but going none the less. Increasingly I’m starting to get emails from people who are finding the idea via various searches for socially beneficial opportunities. But because we haven’t moved into putting a product or a script or a movement into place, we’re stuck with encouraging people without much of a road map!
But take heed that progress is underway. Tell your friends about the possibilities and then watch for ways I hope to put in place to germinate more growth. I recently criticized the Obama Administration for the failure of making intellectual discussions available on their LetsMove.gov website about obesity and freely admit it isn’t happening here … at least not yet.
Interactive discussions and back and forth’s are coming, however, so sit tight and keep the contacts coming. I do want to know that the army of advocates is still alive and kickin’ when the doors open for change.

A Green Gold Followship: Food As Empowering Entertainment and Connectivity
And by that I mean more than just by watching us all eat at fast food restaurants and get fatter as a result. Food is a critical cultural phenomenon and has been used in many ways to change the core nature of societies of the past. And if we are going to get a handle on some of our collective abuses, this may well be a good place to get started.
My reason for this comment has to do with questions some friends have asked about why I’m working at the moment on a book called Green Gold, which is what I believe to be the first publication on pairing honey and cheese.
As many people know, both honey and cheese have been nature’s earliest of “processed” foods. The bees make the one and humans the other, but both rely on core actions and reactions directly related to interactivity between elements of the physics of life.
Funny, though, putting the two of them together has been relatively ignored—perhaps because they are so common no one sees much innovation in their potential.
But I disagree. And I believe that their longevity is a heck of a testament to their potential if that sustainability can be linked, electronically and culturally, to a far more empowering future.
Green Gold is about revitalizing our acceptance of core food stuff by using socially responsible followships of opportunity.
Soon I’ll write more about this, but if you get the idea … let me know what you think.
