We’re all quite aware of how much business shapes our world in revolutionary, exciting, and even destructive ways.
It can also be a powerful tool for making things better.
This conference isn’t about romanticizing entrepreneurship or funding a startup.
It’s about the vibrant spirit and ethic of businesses that care about people, think long-term, and seek to better things within their sphere of influence.
An excerpt from One From Many by Dee Hock
Leader presumes follower. Follower presumes choice. One who is coerced to the purposes, objectives, or preferences of another is not a follower in any true sense of the word, but an object of manipulation. Nor is the relationship materially altered if both parties accept dominance and coercion. True leading and following presume perpetual liberty of both leader and follower to sever the relationship and pursue another path. A true leader cannot be bound to lead. A true follower cannot be bound to follow. The moment they are bound, they are no longer leader or follower. The terms leader and follower imply the freedom and independent judgment of both. If the behavior of either is compelled, whether by force, economic necessity, or contractual arrangement, the relationship is altered to one of superior/subordinate, management/employee, master/servant, or owner/slave. All suc
Leader presumes follower. Follower presumes choice. One who is coerced to the purposes, objectives, or preferences of another is not a follower in any true sense of the word, but an object of manipulation. Nor is the relationship materially altered if both parties voluntarily accept the dominance of one by the other. A true leader cannot be bound to lead. A true follower cannot be bound to follow. The moment they are bound they are no longer leader or follower. If the behavior of either is compelled, whether by force, economic necessity, or contractual arrangement, the relationship is altered to one of superior/subordinate, manager/employee, master/servant, or owner/slave. All such relationships are materially different from leader/follower.
Induced behavior is the essence of leader-follower. Compelled behavior is the essence of all the others. Where behavior is compelled, there lies tyranny, however benign. Mere behavior is induced, there lies leadership, however powerful. Leadership does not imply construc

To Whom it May Concern:
Welp, Mike Speegle is basically one of my very favorite contemporary writers.
While reading his novel, "Something Greater Than Artifice", I found myself simultaneously caught up in the story, the characters, its philosophical points, and Mike's vibrant world. It felt like I'd taken methamphetamines and went to Disneyland, but only had time to run through really fast and take one ride so I was looking around and trying to take it all in but was only capable of taking some of it in, not all of it.
A pretty good storyteller is capable of creating that magical waking dream state. Extremely rare ones keep you in that state long after you've put the book down. And Mike Speegle fucking pulls it off. Without meth!
Yet Mike is somehow able to do this while still making it feel like he's sitting next to you, spinning a yarn in between yammerings about some futurehistorical matter, occasionally popping wordwheelies while suppressing a smirk beneath his beard. And then making you cry a whole l
If, like me, you use Opera as your primary browser (Chrome minus Google!), and if you also want to use Dashlane as your password manager, then you have the same problem I did:
Dashlane doesn't have an Opera extension and doesn't have a Chrome extension publicly listed. (If you're a Chrome user, you know that
This post was a good starting point, but the paths are outdated (at least for Mac)

Honorable __________,
Thanks for your hard work serving our area. I'm sure you get a lot of letters with all kinds of different attitudes and I want to tell you first and foremost that I am grateful for your service to our community. I recognize that in your legislative work you have to regularly make difficult decisions and I appreciate the effort you take to consider the tradeoffs in each case. I especially want to thank you for your much-needed increase in funding this year for education.
As you know, we've witnessed a significant amount of pain and division in our local community as a result of the legislature's insufficient funding of education. It's really been difficult to watch and experience.
But, in many ways, it's opened our community's eyes. We have learned a lot about how education funding works and we've become knowledgeable about the McCleary Decision, where our state Supreme justices ruled that the legislature is not meeting its paramount constitutional duty and that "ample funding for basi
So, I have this simple webapp I started building once that I called "encourage.io"
No need to look—it's not running at that domain or anywhere else. I got it to the point of being 70% of what I wanted, but I just had a bunch of other things take my attention.
The name had two meanings: "encourage I/O (in/out)" (as in, it encourages you to interact with people) and encourage, in that encouragement is a fundamental element of the purpose of the interactions the app is intending to create.
You simply add a name and an email address for everyone you interact with, whose interactions you want to track. You put people into different "buckets" (like: family, &yet, node, local, mentors, clients, etc.). Then you just say when you last interacted with that person in a meaningful way where you felt like you were a source of encouragement to them. You'd also set a rough time by which you wanted to interact with that person again ("three weeks" / "three months" etc) and that interval would recur by default, until
The essence of community, its very heart and soul, is the nonmonetary exchange of value. The things we do and the things we share because we care for others, and for the good of the place. Community is composed of things that we cannot measure, for which we keep no record and ask no recompense. Since they cannot be measured, they can’t be denominated in dollars, or barrels of oil, or bushels of corn—such things as respect, tolerance, love, trust, generosity, and care, the supply of which is unbounded and unlimited.
The nonmonetary exchange of value does not arise solely from altruistic motives. It arises from a deep, intuitive understanding that self-interest is inseparably connected with community interest; that individual good is inseparable from the good of the whole; that all things are simultaneously independent, interdependent, and interdependent—that the singular “one” is inseparable from the plural “one.”
True community also requires proximity—continual interaction between the people, places, and th
