Home Free Organization is a non-profit initiative to eradicate homelessness in urban environments through the provision of free wireless internet, social networking and resource allotment. We take donated bread trucks which have come off route and add donated computers and hardware to create mobile wireless access hubs for homeless individuals to utilize for finding family, jobs, resources and ways off the street. The goal is simple: Provide a resource for the homeless which will allow them to find ways off the street. Of course there are many who prefer the streets to a 9-5 and home life, but for those who are stuck and cannot find there way, Home Free will provide the tools to try.

Taking a survey of Land Surveyors United [del.icio.us]

palmettoequipment — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 15:58:25 PST

That’s why Land Surveyors United is so remarkable. It’s a social network for land surveyors who are (in the words of Network Creator Justin Farrow) “stuck in the woods or rural areas for most of their life without Wifi or Internet access.” The network provides a place for land surveyors to trade information — including files, tutorials and equipment experiences — while networking with other surveyors. While the network isn’t huge (and how could it be, with only about 3,000-5,000 land surveyors across the globe online at any given time?), Farrow says it’s attracting about five new members each day. Especially with the economic downturn, the network has become an asset to land surveyors looking augment their existing skills and expertise in a cost-effective way.
