All kinds a Village going on


Village Map ... Village Board Game ... Village Demo.
I haven't written in a month.... wow! I've been posting mostly on the blog at http://www.villagethegame.com. August has been pretty tame. Lots of emails, lots of phone calls, and just Hezbollah to keep me entertained. Last night I played the most annoying game of chess ever with my friend Josh. Three times I "knew" I had em and of course, it ends stalemate. Punk.

I was planning on a trip to California for a quick visit but I don't think that's going to happen. I'm burning through my money too fast and I'll probably be headed back there before winter anyways. Now it's looking like a week in South Carolina at the Zadok House of Prayer. Hopefully I can get recentered before I head off to Kenya on August 29th. Did I mention I was going to Africa? Yep Africa. Everyone's doing it. Why not. After Kenya for a month, Hyderabad, India for a month. Between those two continents I hope to ge t a lot of research and development done for Village. So VillagetheGame.com is probably going to have a lot more activity than DarianHickman.com. My personal life is on hold at the moment. No women, no Kung Fu, no soccer, nothing except Village and the occasional boob tube perusal. But hey, I'm learning a lot. I figure the amount of money I'll probably spend on Village is equal to about a year at Stanford Business School and I'll probably learn just as much, too. We'll see.

This works great for 1 day trips somewhere if you have a fridge and laptop plugged in.

Explaining the Financial Crisis and the Bailout

Pat Dorsey is a pretty smart guy, Director of Equity Research at Morningstar. He explains why the bailout is a safety net for Main Street not a bailout for Wall Street. I understand this I just wish there was a better alternative like getting loans from www.prosper.com. Unfortunately Prosper.com only allows loans of $25,000 which just isn't enough for a lot of companies. Maybe Prosper will expand soon to ease the short term credit crisis. Well here's Pat Dorsey's take on the credit crisis:

Praise Reports: Thanks to an anonymous donation my financial support is up to $600 now! Thank you Mr/Ms Anonymous! A childhood friend of mine contacted me out of the blue to let me know he's in Orlando, too.  I haven't seen him since 1997 so hopefully we can get reaquainted next weekend.  He Googled my name and found my address.  God Bless the Internet! The first two groups of students got back from their trips to Key West and Brazil this past Friday.  Seeing how much these young people have matured spiritually gives me more confirmation that I'm in the right place.  I can see the changes in attitude towards their faith and increased priority to follow Christ and it makes the 14 hour days worth the effort. Also Getting 90 minutes a day of prayer and reading is a lot easier than I thought it would be with our 14 hour days.  Being in a community that supports that kind of thing is so awesome! I'm reading a great book called "Intercession: Thrilling ...
