Snow on the way...
Feb. 5th, 2010 02:23 amForecast calls for several inches of snow Thursday night through Friday night. We're stocked up on groceries, brought some firewood indoors, and should have no need to travel in it.

nhpeacenik, there are now three new verses visible in "The Polar Bear and the Princess of Beasts." This free-verse poem is a fairy tale about how Captain Bear rescues his liege from captivity in another world.

Possible Donor Perk: Badges

crowdfunding we are discussing the possibility of virtual book tours to promote cyberfunded creativity. Then wyld_dandelyon posed a question that gave me a whole new idea: collectible badges for cyberfunded projects.
My basic idea would be similar to the "nominee" badges created for the Rose and Bay Awards. The badge would have some kind of image, and text along the lines of "Poetry Fishbowl Patron." I could make a single badge, or if it proves highly popular, I could change the design periodically -- one per year, or season, or even month. Everyone who sponsors a poem or donates to the fishbowl would then have the right to use that badge.
The cool thing is, if this became popular for crowdfunded projects to provide, it would create an easy and eye-catching way for patrons to show their support and promote their favorite projects. They might have different contents -- photos, drawings, an autograph, whatever. You could put all your badges together in a post or page with a header like, "I am a proud patron of cyberfunded creativity. These are some projects that I support. Please visit them and enjoy some of the material that I have helped to manifest." In addition to your own page, you could visit your friends' patronage pages and see what projects they like.

I spotted this news article today, relating to the disposal of human remains from the earthquake in Haiti.
I can see both sides of the issue; mass graves are practical and efficient, but undignified and potentially troublesome. An important point not specifically highlighted in the article: Haitian vodou is ancestor worship. Visiting family graves to reverence the ancestors is a key part of the practice for some people. If you don't know where your ancestors are buried, you can't do that. Tossing hundreds or thousands of corpses into a mass grave therefore creates an impediment to practicing one of Haiti's most popular religions.
