Has Remote Work Killed Collaborative Creativity?: Online Collaboration «
Gone are the days when creative work was always done by teams operating from the same location at the same time. Yet there’s a great deal of creative collaboration that still relies on our being able to “workshop” concepts together, using whatever means possible, in real time. While technology may have made many aspects of business easier and simpler, the traditional model of creative collaboration has a lot going for it. Two minds (or three, or more) are better than one. To come up with ideas — or solutions — is difficult, which is why creative collaboration in teams is so valuable.
Open Source Ecology
I apologize for the lack of frequent reporting as we are going through ‘growing pains.’ We are busy recruiting for this whole ecology of positions . We had a large number of interviews ( 30+ recorded on our YouTube channel ) and are going at it strong. I am working on the 2 year plan , with a highlight of bootstrap-funding our staff by the fruits of production.

San Francisco to Allow Electric Vehicle Owners to Juice Up for Free | Inhabitat - Green Design Will Save the World
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee just announced that electric vehicle charging will be made available free of charge in city-owned parking garages and at San Francisco International Airport until the end of 2013. San Francisco city officials are hoping that free charging will nudge vehicle-owners into the electric market — if you know you can charge up for free when you’re not at home, life is a little easier. Each charge is estimated to cost the city about $3 and with 2,750 new chargers going in — 30 of which will be “fast charge” stations — this program could end up being quite the investment in the city’s clean transportation future.
