That came to me last night as the wife and I were shopping in a craft store last night. Spurred mostly over my growing dismay over labels that state "Made in China".
This is such a symptom of the current US Economy.
This book is the inspiration, key inspiration, for this community.
There are several other books that are influential in the initial concept.
Wikinomics is one of the other books that are influencing the ideas for and behind this blog.
The core concept is to create a community. This will be composed of Online and Real Life components. The intent is to bring together like minded people to aid and work with each other. Lending talents, gifts, skills, knowledge and ability to help one and another.
Think in terms of a small town. One that is close, one that is focused on the welfare of the entire town over just that of a single individual. This is the sense of Community I am looking for.
As time passes I wish for this to expand outward to where each one involved is there for one and another. Helping out in what ever fashion they are able to.
