Corporate Genetic Food

We should be concerned. We're in the middle of a food supply experiment. Interesting that the intellectual rights of the food can be purchased, for a year...

I remember Paul Hawken from the book Magic of Findhorn,
I have a lot of catching up to do,he's wriiten a bunch more books. I appreciate his perspective. Definitely click the video.

Importance of Value Stream Mapping

A fundamental to "Seeing" a process.
I've seen Process maps that don't do much good because there is so much detail that they're painful to look at! ....and others that don't have enough detail to reveal the issues. ... There's clearly is benefit to mapping and analyzing the value stream.

We've gone through some basic training, but need to get to the next level with this.
I'll be digging deeper on this in Houston with Optriprise.

This basic video is from SME

The SPAM Generation. US is fourth behind China, Brazil, and Turkey.

Not a race to first place. This from Technology Review reveals where the bulk of the mess comes from. It's a crying shame we don't have better control over this.

....Makes me think of a Monty Python song. (See Below!)

The comments thread had a few good nuggets, too ...

The number one reason these things spread like they do is people being completely ignorant about the internet. These are the people who are the reasons spam is so prolific: People who: 1. use the 'To:' field 2. click links (ANY LINKS) in an email 3. run windows and don't keep an up-to-date anti-virus on it (there are many free ones!) 4. reply to spam 5. have unsecure passwords (12345, password, nascar, jesus) Currently there are multiple bot-nets that are orders of magnitude more powerful then the world's largest supercomputers, and it won't stop unless people plain and simple smarten up.
