Project VIEW on the internets!

Just a quick post to link to a few places Project VIEW is mentioned on the net. Firstly, I'm very happy to be included on Nokia & Vodafone's collaborative best practices site; ShareIdeas.org. They have a quick summary of the summer collaboration with BAVC.

Also, there's a great article on icommons.org about a collaboration with Steve Vosloo that allowed us to connect San Francisco, Sao Paulo, and South Africa using mobile storytelling to describe our neighborhoods and lives.

Doing Good With POWER!!!

Quick linkblog today. I saw two noteworthy items about power, big and small.

On the big end, I saw a link to powering the Google-plex with rooftop solar. They have a cool Flash realtime graph about how much power they're saving (and what it means in real terms. Like how long it would power a flat-screen TV).

On the small end, I got a newsletter from Nokia about alerting you that you can unplug your phone when it's charged.

It's a great idea, actually. Phantom loads actually account for a lot of power overall.
