Kickstarter

Helping my friends at Dog Mountain with a cool Kickstarter Project:

Sally Discovers New York will be the second in a series of eBooks called “Sally Discovers”. In each eBook Sally discovers a new place in her doggy centric way. Ever curious, the adventurous, lovable Black Lab Sally, is always learning, exploring and making new friends.”

For this project, we are trying something new. We are asking for suggestions of places Sally should visit while in the Big Apple. As Vermonters, we welcome the advice from folks more familiar with New York City. We hope we will discover some new, fun and off beat places perfect for a dog like Sally. By taking suggestions from Kickstarter supporters, we are keeping the story fluid so it truly is written by “Sally and Friends.”

New Trajectory

Trajectory. Our mission is to engage, inspire and delight audiences. We collaborate with leading artists, authors and publishers to create interactive content that is distributed worldwide to four screens including mobile, tablet, desktop and set top. Our first two series of eBooks and apps are now in development.

Bill McKibben on Sea Change Radio > Civil Disobedience Against Coal & 350.org

On Monday March 2 2009 there was the largest protest against climate change that I had ever seen > I followed the action at 350.org and Capital Climate Action . There is a great interview here on Sea Change Radio with my professor Bill Baue interviewing environmentalist author and 350.org Founder Bill McKibben.

I don’t mean to sound trite, but what struck me as I watched the video uploads and Flickr streams live was the demeanor and dress of the crowd > these were working professionals mixed in with young people from all over the country > not fringe at all.

By taking a stand against Coal we are a stand for the biosphere > we all must because > If Not Us, Who??? This is smart making Coal the evil poster boy for bad climate behavior > the ‘Clean Coal’ campaign is blowing up in thier face.

Now is the Time
