$5K Will Give CP a Fighting Chance | Community Partners

Politicians like to talk nicely about it, but health care in MA is in bad shape right now. And it's outreach workers who keep it running.

If you get laid off and worry about losing your health insurance or affording COBRA, if you need insurance but are confused about how to get it, if you need to find a doctor immediately who will take your child’s insurance, or need help paying for fuel, housing or food, CP works to ensure that you will have a local person to turn to who can help you quickly. Outreach workers are the best way to connect you with needed doctors, medicines & other help.

I haven't really any such aspirations for a long time, but once upon a time it was a big goal of mine to make it into Wired - the cover would be nice. Well, I'll take a sentence:

Wired 14.05: The New Networks

Want to see the future of Net video? Download the open source Democracy Player from the Participatory Culture Foundation, a renegade nonprofit code shop. The app lets you subscribe to RSS channels, download in the background via BitTorrent, and view most video formats in full-screen resolution. (The companion site, Video Bomb, offers RSS feeds for tons of clips.) With Democracy, a well-stocked BitTorrent tracker, and a little RSS fu, who needs a TiVo?

Pretty fun working with people that build awesome shit.

Marinda Branson Moore, 1829-1864. The Geographical Reader, for the Dixie Children.

This is pretty incredible, a book on geography from the Confederacy, circa 1863.

If you've wondered what something like that looks like, then here you go.
