Watch this to see someone doing awesome stuff.
When watching it many people think or say they are going to give up Coke/Pepsi. It would be nice if it was true. It would also be nice if people could think about other corporations dominating our lives and how they will probably only go away if WE [...]

Victorian economists calculated that the average English peasant in 1485 needed to work fifteen weeks a year to earn enough money they needed to survive for the year. In 1564, it was forty weeks.

The dilemma I faced after a couple years of running it and 3,500 members later was – what [...]
Room for improvement
The more I look at the web in relation to building online services, the more I see most of it just doesn’t work (well).
