"We're entering a really phenomenal decade," said Robert Reiter, Monsanto's vice president of breeding technology. "We see a line of sight to really advance to new levels of (food) productivity." The company has started taking this message directly to the countryside, hauling a mobile technology unit by semi-trailer from farm town to farm town around the United States to educate farmers about the future of seed technology.

Economist: US collapse due to fraud, Geithner covering it up
In an explosive interview on PBS' Bill Moyers Journal, William K. Black, a professor of economics and law with the University of Missouri, alleged that American banks and credit agencies conspired to create a system in which so-called "liars loans" could receive AAA ratings and zero oversight, amounting to a massive "fraud" at the epicenter of US finance.

Kubatana - Archive - How to run a mobile advocacy campaign - Kubatana.net - Oct 28, 2008
http://www.kubatana.net/html/archive/inftec/081028kub.asp?sector=INFTEC#download
In a 'mobile advocacy campaign,' your organisation develops a communication strategy that incorporates the sending of text messages to your members' mobile phone numbers. There are many reasons why you might want to do this. Texting gets the attention of your members as it is delivered to a device they carry wherever they go – their mobile phone. It opens up channels for speedy, affordable two-way communications with your members. And in many contexts, more people have access to a mobile phone than they do to email or the Internet. Importantly, they don’t have to be at work or go to an Internet café to get your communications.

How we hacked a project into the Ministry of Culture in Brazil - What The Wiki?!
http://wiki.whatthehack.org/index.php/How_we_hacked_a_project_into_the_Ministry_of_Culture_in_Brazil
Seeing that the burocractic ways of the brazilian government where cloged, we found a way of working together with civil society by leaping into the digital era and collaborating directly with different collectives, from artistis, indymedia activists, hackers to musicians, trough discussion lists and wikis in the internet. We created a concept for a government project that is joining many agents in Brasilian culture, aiming to create cultural hotspots troughout the country where local cultural production exists. The cultural hotspots will use free and open source software to produce digital artifacts and will distribute these using alternative intelectual property licenses and broadband connections to the Internet. This talk will portrait over two years of our history getting this project into the government and our current progress implementig the cultural hotspots.

Work on Stuff that Matters: First Principles - O'Reilly Radar
http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/01/work-on-stuff-that-matters-fir.html
I spent a lot of last year urging people to work on stuff that matters. This led to many questions about what that "stuff" might be. I've been a bit reluctant to answer those questions, because the list is different for everyone. I thought I'd do better to start the new year with some ideas about how to think about this for yourself.
