ChangeMakers.net is an awesome site for Social Entreprenuers
I want to recruit other social entreprenuers to help me design a business model. Here are my design goals:






GoalWhy
The business should be owned by a broad base of people.Having a broad base of shareholders means making capitalism accessible to more people. Thus it creates a chance for more people to build wealth and leave poverty behind. Also the voting power of the shareholders will be distributed which inclines the owners to vote in favor of policies that benefit their community since they are the community.
People should earn money from the corporation based on how much they bring in.This motivates people to bring money into the corporation and makes the corporation self-sustaining.
The success of the corporation should grow based on how well it is serving it customers and its shareholders.This keeps the corporation in line with its ultimate purpose of serving people.
All owners should have a vote proportional to the money and resources they are bringing into the corporationDistribution of voting power is one more way of keeping the corporation responsive to the demands of the community.
The corporation should provide a wide variety of products and services in multiple industriesHaving a wide variety of products and services in multiple industries mitigates risk from any one industry going bankrupt like the telecom industry did at the beginning of the millenia.

Physics Moment: how many zoom levels does the Universe require?

I made a quick table of reference lengths in meters to figure out if I ever made a data visualization tool for the entire universe, how many zoom levels would it have to support? One zoom level is one power of ten.  reference length power is there anything meaningful that's smaller than planck length? planck length 1.62E-35 meters nanometer 1.00E-09 meter 1.00E+00 kilometer 1.00E+03 light year 9.46E+15 meter diameter of known universe 4.40E+26 So the total zoom levels of the Entire Universe are: 61.00 61 zoom levels is way more than Farmville or Warcraft So 61 zoom levels. How do these zoom levels compare to the Big Data Explosion.   reference quantity of data bytes bit 1.25E-01 1 or 0 and that's it. byte 1.00E+00 base unit for most data types in programming languages kb 1.00E+03 Starting number for web optimized images and javascript libraries mb 1.00E+06 Starting number for a song gigabytes GB 1.00E+09 This is base unit of $10 USB sticks terab...

Netsquared likes Village and I'm in LA now.

On March 13th, Village the Game received a great response from the NetSquared NetTuesday meeting in San Francisco. It's really encouraging to meet so many people who want to help Village succeed. Now I'm off to LA to work with buddies in "the industry" for creating some promo videos for Village the Game. Most recent epiphany I've had: Sharing the vision of Village is a lot more effective in a visual format rather than as a casual conversation at a bar. :) If you're in LA let me know. I'd love to catch up.

Goofing off and getting ready for Brazil.

You haven't heard much from me these past couple of weeks because not much has happened. That's good and bad. I had a great time hanging out with friends from Hopkins and Baltimore two weeks ago. I love Baltimore! It has everything right next to each other: poverty, wealth, bright people, stupid people, artists, engineers, and some crazy people I call my friends . Mario sorry I missed you! Then I continued my tour of friends on down to Middlesex, VA. My church had their annual baptism/party on the Rappahannock River. Good times on the rivah hanging out with friends from Northern VA! Then the same weekend headed down to Suffolk to enjoy Labor Day with more family. Got to meet the latest addition to the family, Brandon . Since then I've been hanging out in West Point with my high school buddy Chris Henley . While he's running his family's hardware store I'm learning Portuguese with Rosetta Stone. Aside from that I've had one random trip up NoVA for an orthod...
