What’s Better Than Freecycle?

Favorville! Okay — I’m not giv­ing up Freecy­cle com­plete­ly I even defend­ed Freecy­cle in the com­ments of an A‑list blog yes­ter­day!), as Favorville will have to build a lot of momen­tum before it gets the same lev­el of net­work­ing that Freecy­cle already has in place. The dif­fer­ence, though, is that Favorville per­mits, well, favors.  I […]

Community Building

I run a mail­ing list for peo­ple in Geor­gia who are inter­est­ed in cre­at­ing com­mu­ni­ties, cohous­ing, etc. It’s a fair­ly pri­vate list, as it grew out of our home­school­ing group. We don’t adver­tise its exis­tence and are always rather sur­prised when some­one from out­side the HSing group asks to join. Any­way, one of the mem­bers’ wives […]

Happy Day

We had a love­ly day, although with a slight­ly small­er crowd than in past years. word­can­dlemage was sore­ly missed, as a migraine kept him at home hid­ing from the wicked daystar. dra­cofrost’s step­moth­er was ill, so we did­n’t have the plea­sure of his fam­i­ly’s com­pa­ny. Y’all missed an incred­i­ble meal and lots of good com­pa­ny. sambear […]

It’s described as “a new col­lab­o­ra­tive weblog ded­i­cat­ed to tools for build­ing sus­tain­abil­i­ty, democ­ra­cy, open sys­tems and a future one would want to live in.” I joined the mail­ing lists for Inspired to Jour­nal and Sun­ny Win­dow Coach­ing today. sam­bear, some­body heard your wish: Intel­li­gent Tags are Breaking […]
