From way back in 1996 Help Earth was there.

2011-02-08T12:29:00.000-08:00

This is a screen grab from a video that was being made while working on a website in 1996. The video just came to light when we were going thought some of the visual media that we have been archiving for 17 years.

This particular footage covers the builing of a website to cross promote our video with retailers and sponsers of our entertainment company (Altavoz Distribution) video Kayaking Extreme. This video was produced, distributed and retailed to raise funds for a worthy cause and clearly an early case of social preneuring.

The soundtrack on the video was from artist related in Altavoz's catalog even has some DJ Shadow via Blackalicious, Solesides Records and Jeff Chang. In fact all the artists on the soundtrack where amazing and the video was pretty advanced for it's time considering the coach of the Olympic team thought Extreme in kayaking was wrong and he hated the idea.

Now the interesting part is that down on the bottom you can see that we thought that Help Earth was a piorty and we are waiting to see if Help Earth got a credit on the video jacket. Considering that this video was retail acrossed the nation I would say our first use claim is going to be 1996.

Then and today to Help Earth is our highest objective. We have just chosen to do so in small meaningful ways.

Billionaires, telling Millionaires, how to engage Thousandaires to service and sell to Hundredaires

2011-01-31T07:00:00.000-08:00

“We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”A Einstein

This should be stamped on the foreheads of the folks that are being chosen by the White House to lead us into the future. I understand the refrain of seeking entrepreneurs. I fact I was one of those young brash entrepreneurs in the 1980s that graduated into an economy with few jobs because we where being told that the Japanese are eating the American dream. I and others set out to build companys that where community based and sought to hire our neighbors and I am proud that one of mine CPWI.com is still serving communities after 23 years.

During my life I was also there as a dot com'ers part of the whole "revolution mindset" that was emerging from the coffee shops, clubs and band scene at the time. I had my first site back in 93 you had to type \~ to get to it. Grabbed Altavoz.com in April of 1995 for our company and still have the same email address after 16 plus years. I and many others are still waiting for some of the changes that where clamored about particularly in entertainment distribution.

To my best knowledge not one person, company, investors, stockholders or gov officials asked if what we or anyone else for that matter was doing had any saving grace other then profits. This is what Entrepreneurship without a soul yields- Profits before people. I am not saying the folks that engaged in it where wrong it was the mandate of the times. We are in new times and we have to change are ways.

Gone to the Hundredaires is the utility of money!

Here is an example. Pick any Agricultural good. It was valued at one price before the Great Depression (or any time of price inelesticy) and then during it they plummet. Did the value of a cork (stock) really go down? Did a potato(501) lose 50 percent of it's value. No they did not! I would think if people where starving the value of it would have gone up not down. Once we leave the flimsily world of money. Why not?: Since it is clearly not a store of value and has limited shelf life. Is there any store still accepting Confederate currency? No and this new age was hearled by this White House 2 years ago.

On 11/16/2008 White House Office of Social Entrepreneurship?: Announcement on Blog I was so happy and proud of our nation and this Administration. And to the folks that drove this to the President's desk and those activity engage in their communities with socialpreneurship which seved as the early examples of this new hope engine. IMHO that plan is being developed by Socialpreners right now in the streets, community colleges, and universities. The hallmark of this new change is that Marginal Utility of Public Good is the baseline. Not Marginal Utility of Money.

So what is Greater good? well there are greater amount of Hundredaires and it would make sense that when we look at what will support the greatest good for the most right. So we need to hear from the folks that are developing workforce programs, career training, jobs, businesses and in some case whole industries that are not just commoditizing the masses they are hopefully experiencing them and doing so will awaken them to the plight of almost everyone else in world

In the words of John Hope Bryant. "Flip the Script"

To that end we have made Socialpreneur Network an open group on linked in and hope to see others out there Helping Earth and it's newly emerging Cosmic Citizens.

btw we have a few names for the list. Community Star references upon request.

There are juicy Waves still being caught are you on them?

2010-12-21T11:50:00.000-08:00

Wave has found some ground with which to build some momentum. Inside Google and now in the Apache Software Foundation Incubation program

Note this recent announcement on the

wave.google.com

http://www.waveprotocol.org/wave-apis/google-wave-data-api/raw-deltas-export

Here is a link to a wave we started for Incident Command please check it out and lets just roll with the wave and have some fun and make the world a better place. That is a lot of give to get for the effort.

On the Opensource side, it should be noted that there were a couple of wave api brerwing when Google Wave jumped on it big time and we'll do are best to come back and make a note of them here.

(Forgotten Contributors Goes here)

The Apache Software Foundation entertained, voted and accepted Wave into their incubator program.

The proposal is available at: http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/WaveProposal

The vote options:

[ ] +1 Accept Wave for incubation

[ ] +0 Don't care

[ ] -1 Reject for the following reason:

The vote is open for 72 hours.

The vote that is taking place on the general@incubator list is strictly
a vote of members of the Incubator Project Management Committee (PMC),
as they are the folks that will be taking on formal responsibility for
the project while it is in incubation. Thus their votes will be
'binding'.

However, other votes are valued there, as they show the breadth of
community support. And clearly this project has a significant breadth of
support.

So, those of you who have voted on this list, I'd encourage you to send
your +1 votes to the general@incubator list. Ideally subscribe first,
but if you don't, a moderator should push them through.

The project was approved and is now under their umbrella of projects. Plus it was noted on a recent email I was reading

Wave currently has a healthy community around waveprotocol.org <http://waveprotocol.org>, withcode review on reviews.apache.org <http://reviews.apache.org>

So if you have not been out of a wave we just have to say that is like going to beach and not getting in the ocean when the tasty waves come rolling in everyone love a great wave.

To speed up the time it takes artists, bands and labels all know one thing that many clubs, promoters, retailers radio folks know we add some app to the general understanding of who the music business works well for everyone.When you tour or play out and donut have physical product 2 sell or at the least have some on consignment at a local store, ur are disturbing the force.That force is the community of fans that hear, see it buy it and talk it btw last we looked 58 percent of the money was coming from Album sales and only 25 percent from Digital albums. Do the math and also ask yourself if you ever, EVER heard of a digital rock star. The fans donut need to have to figure it out they (can and should) have it all so artists.bands.labels might want to figure out what this elusive distribution thingy is because that is where the money and Grammy's are coming from and it's just time to step up.btw we are at TheMajorsSuck.comprofit 2 helpearth http://amplify.com/u/h680

Recently I traded emails with someone that I know to be brave, true passionate and without a doubt one of the biggest Crisis Free Agents in the HISTORY of em.

Her story is part of a larger story and I believe what these ladies are doing is something that needs to be embraced, funded and nurtured because our lives do depend upon it. These are some of the most vunberable citizen on this planet and when you hear the stories of the women these clinics help~ You will weep for many reason the few I have heard are so horrible and worse is that I was gettting them from somone that had to deal with it in the aftermath.

This is the untold story of the lives and struggles of the women of Haiti and if we don't unite and do something about it NOW then we are the problem.

Attached is a very important Women's clinic proposal that exemplifies the ability of the few to respond to the many. Already with scant funding these clinics are happening.

Founded in the middle of the worst disaster possible in Haiti history by crisis free agent Alison Thompson, actress Maria Bello, and lawyer Aleda Freshman. This is a something to behold and fund

We Advance

These are the same ladies lead by Maria who used her star power to successful bring UN Sectary General Ban-Ki Moon to officially open their first clinic at the JPHRO camp in Haiti.

“Operating on the small of an old rag and we just get our heads down and move forward without red tape.“ Alison Thompson, Co-Founder.

Weadvance just received a donated huge circus tent which they are about to use as a new women's clinic behind St Damien's hospital.

I think it’s the time for some of us to step up and help them. Think if what these wonderful ladies can achieve with funding.I have attached their proposals and hope that you can help them or know of someone that can so that they can continue to help the women and children in Haiti.

In our previous Blog we talked about the way sales of online ADs across the MetropolitanCloud where going to be used to support this nonprofit. What we are now able to say is that the some of the professional sale force we are going to deploy is going to be made up of the homeless, like my local street paper seller who will be able to further support himself by selling the placement of ads across the MetropolitanCloud starting with the area he happens to be in TenleyTown.net.

When we first brought up to him the potential to learn about our programs and then be a paid salesman he was more then excited he was hopeful and knew that the time he spends every up to 18 hours a day can now be using to cross promote himself, community, street paper, and the business that are supporting Help Earth by advertising on the MetropolitanCloud.

We look forward to bring more information about this project and some other game changing ideas we have coming down the pipe and as always we strive to make them a WIN WIN WIN WIN
