To celebrate their 10th birthday, Google unveiled Project 10 to the 100th, a call for entries of ideas from any and everyone on how to change the world by helping others. The premise is fairly simple, get anybody with a good idea to send in a submission, and Google will help the folks with the best ideas make them happen. They’ve earmarked $10 million for the winners.
If you’ve got a brilliant idea, then you better get cracking! The submission deadline is October 20th. You can see the full set of entry requirements here. You can submit more than one idea, and you don’t even have to have the technical expertise to implement it yourself.
Voting on the top 100 ideas will be open to the public and will begin on January 27th…and since my memory is not what it should be, I’ll be signing up for an email reminder to vote.
You have to admit…this is ALMOST as impressive as our cupcake and ice cream birthday celebration ;).
We had a great time last Friday at our joint event with the TCCa, celebrating our Open House/7 year Anniversary party with some of our closest friends, clients and family. Many thanks to Brynn, Fitz and Leigh of TCCa for putting this on for us, Leopold’s Ice Cream, Back in the Day Bakery and Cha-Bella for the delicious treats, Le Chai for the vino, and to everyone who came and made the night such a special event. And now that we’ve had the weekend to recover, here are a few pics.
With election time coming around it’s important to get out, vote, and let your voice be heard. But being heard is a problem that has plagued our democratic process for the last few elections. There are new digital technologies (the benefits are debatable) being used but not every polling station has access to such equipment. Instead millions will be using the old paper system. Dangling chads, loose larrys and all. Read More of this post
A few days ago, we had the privilege of sitting in on the final presentations of Sustainability Design, a new class being taught by Scott Boylston at SCAD.
The focus was the branding and marketing of the Trustees’ Garden, including its 9 acre plot of land (now being developed as an organic garden, headed up by Farmer D with participation from Union Mission), The Trustees’ Market (which features local farmers, music, food and art) and the Charles H. Morris Center. Read More of this post
