This is what you need if you want to upload broadcast TV to a satellite over the TCP/IP (Internet Protocol) from anywhere in the world. Fits in a suitcase, can be set up in 5 minutes, even by non-technies, finding the satellites itself, using GPS. Runs on batteries, uploads at 2Mbps. Hm, I can't find the price anywhere, though.

Below is an article which appeared in the Wall Street Journal on January 4, 2002. Kevin Kelly is a former editor of Wired. He talks about the state of the Internet today, and points out the no amount of money can obscure that the majority of the web is a gift economy, built of love and passion. More >

As the article below, from today's Los Angeles Times talks about, the scandal surrounding Enron, the failed giant energy company is just so good that it hurts. Now there's really somebody who got caught with their pants down their heels. They have apparently bribed everybody in sight, including the current and past U.S. president, the press, their accounting firms, etc. They've gotten special treatment all the way, haven't paid any taxes for 4 out of the last 5 years, they have hundreds of foreign "subsidiaries", and still they couldn't hold it all together, and last minute calls to all their friends made no difference.

A new center in Cornwall, containing the world's biggest enclosed greenhouse domes displaying several different complete ecosystems, has become one of the biggest public attractions in the U.K. It is called the http://www.edenproject.com/. The domes are not intended to be completely sealed from the outside world, which is what makes it different from the Biosphere 2 experiment. Rather, the public can actually go through these places. Anyway, it is apparently a spectacular thing. There's an excellent Wired article More >

A test of a new public transport system is being carried out in Cardiff Bay, U.K. See the BBC Article . Unlike conventional public transport, this consists of small cars that running on tracks can automatically take themselves to the correct destination. This allows there to be a mesh of tracks and stations thoughout a city, as opposed to traditional transport which tends to run along corridor routes to a city center. An paper is available. Future versions may have dual control to allow people to drive the cars from the nearest station off the track to their homes, so that it can altogether replace traditional cars. More >

A former German Cabinet Minister attacks the official brainwashing on the September 11th issue in an interview in the German Tagesspiegel daily newspaper. The baffling failure of the U.S. Administration including its 26 secret agencies with an annual budget of $30 billion, to come up with any convincing assessment, was one big problem that von Buelow addresses, in quite some detail.

Idealist.org has launched an initiative that calls for people to get together in many areas on February 5th, 2002, to organize local networking groups and help centers that facilitate constructive community projects of all kinds. Idealist.org is already very useful and successful in providing listings of organizations, resources, volunteer opportunities and much more. This is an attempt to take it further.

Marine scientists in India say an archaeological site off India's western coast may be up to 9,000 years old. The revelation comes about 8 months after acoustic images from the sea-bed suggested the presence of built-up structures resembling the ancient Harappan civilisation, which dates back around 4,000 years. Here's an article from BBC More >

I always come back to *dialogue* as a central ingredient in creating a new civilization. That is, a space of mutual exploration where we can talk about what we're experiencing, without any need to judge each other. I particularly support dialogue as David Bohm described it. Several people have compiled excellent resources on dialogue. See Tony Judge's page at UIA and Heiner Benking's Open Forum page. And the people who introduced me to dialogue: Linda and Glenna at The Dialogue Group. Also, check out Deep Dialogue. More >

Here is an interesting one to check out. BUT please be warned the "gentleman' behind this technology is a twisted genius with paranoid tendencies. Still that doesn't detract from the interesting technology and its many potential applications.
