THE INTERNET + CREATIVITY = INFINITE POSSIBLITIES

I just needed to blog about these 2 sites to make sure that I keep them close at hand -- one is Kickstarter.com, which is an amazing platform where anyone can fund a creative project.  It's similar to kiva.com, where users can loan 25 bucks to people in the developing world.  I feel like sites like this prove how much everyday people care about beautiful things in this world, and how just a little giving can make a huge impact for someone else.

I also have been seeing a lot of 3d prototyping sites like ponoko.com, which allow users to make 3d prints, or upload their 3d sketches to an online community, where other users can buy their prints.  I'm just so amazed, and can't wait to try these sites out!

A NEW DAY FOR US ENERGY POLICY

A lot of people have been upset and worried about the oil spill, and while I'm right there too, I strongly believe that there is a lot of good that can come of this horrible disaster.  I think that a new, expedited clean energy policy, that eliminates the need for more drilling will take hold.  My hope for this was totally strengthened by Obama's address last night.  I think that the only way to honor the suffering of the people of the gulf, as well as the innocent animal life is to change our negligent addiction to oil, and for all of us regular people to speak out about this.

This page is a way to show Obama our support for his courageous stance on oil:
