Hi Craig, Brooklyn St House Friends, Reedies, Reed College community folks, All,These attached pictures just popped up today in Google Photo on my smartphone, And I thought you might enjoy seeing them ... How are you all doing?Thanks Craigly for text messaging yesterday morning out of the blue from Anacortes, Washington, and sharing your beautiful garden picture with artichokes, corn and poppies from last summer (which garden is thriving - thanks to the coronavirus pandemic and time at home for gardening & physical movement even )! :)The pictures are from March 2008 on a visit to Reed College (and eastern Oregon near La Grande I think to visit family)Oregon 'hippy communities' in first half of 1980s ~3 cooperatives?1Alpha Farm -The Alpha Bit bookstore-cafe in Mapleton, Oregon, 200+ acre Alpha Farm's 'satellite' in this 'big city' (where Alpha's doing the mail route, and carpentry, helped with financial sustainability) ... And seems still to be a co-op intentional community, as institution even or organization ...Looks like Alpha Farm is still happening in the Intentional Community directory - https://www.ic.org/directory/alpha-farm/ - and which began around 1973 using secular 'Quaker' decision making re Friends' monthly business meeting I think Founded by Caroline Estes and 3 other hippies leaving the Philadelphia Quaker world22202 SE Brooklyn Street House, Portland, Oregon, w Betsy from next door! -Reed House (mostly with Reed student communards, & a nice bicycle ride away through winter rideable Portland to campus at 3303 SE Woodstock Blvd !:) -(where I lived on and off for at least 2 and a half years - while also (twice - but not from the Brooklyn House the first time) hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, studying in Munich for 13 months, working in Mart & Ella Pool's anthroposophical Estonian farm-in-a-back-yard garden and in a native species' Cyclamen Nursery in Beaverton, and re some of our involvement in the Cathedral Forest Action Group, carrying out nonviolent civil disobedience to save Oregon old growth forest, and re involvement in the community of Multnomah Monthly Meeting (where I was active in Quaker Meetings both in Portland, Oregon and in Munich, Germany)3People's Food Coop -(which is also still going), and still kinda beautiful, and a market for alternative networks of goods and organic food stuff - which are significant alternative economies!)Interested in online free PhD degrees (7 year average time to completion)? Know of friends interested in online free-to-students' Bachelor degrees (4 year avg time to completion)?A bit of news !CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & SchIs Now PARTNERING with edX (FOUNDED by MIT and HARVARD), and seeking to offer PhDs beginning this autumn too! - and WUaS also uses a (non-theist) f/Friendly Monthly Business Meeting process, loosely conducted in the manner of Quakers, and has for nearly a decade :) ... WUaS isn't structured legally like a cooperative in the USA (but is 3 legal entities here ... but may explore becoming structured further as a cooperative in the US and other countries regarding distributing a single cryptocurrency such as the "Stanford Mine Pi" digital currency - and even to alleviate poverty among all 7. 8 billion people! ~ https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/UBI :) WUaS will be free for matriculating students for online accrediting Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD and IB high school degrees potentially and in all 200 countries (per Olympics) and in their main and official languages, - and in all 7,117 known living languages as wiki schools -https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/ wiki/Subjects - for open teaching and learning (which are free to use, and freely editable or teachable / learnable to / from:). WUaS is seeking to become the online MIT / Harvard / Stanford / Oxbridge of the internet in remarkable flourishing and visionary ways, learning- and fun & very creatively knowledge generation-wise ... And flourishing re wiki people to people teaching and learning too ;) ... & partly in 1 single realistic virtual earth for everything and see related #HashTags here -

My heart breaks as I remember being thereScott -Hi Craig - sounds dramatic, and it's where Carla teaches ... The Performing Arts Center could be a model for a rebuild? Time for Reed perhaps to go 'virtual' re gym though? Could the impoverished MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch collaborate in this I wonder? (But Reed seems to have a number of serious ethical issues, about which I've whistle blown in the past year or two ... and I've asked to be off their mailing lists ... Hope they come to observe the law). How are you? -ScottReed College label in daily blog -Craig -Life is good.Scott -Good to hear :) & okay isolation-wise in the coronavirus pandemic?Craig -My work didn't change much and I love it. How are you?Scott -Congratulations after many years again on becoming a doctor!Ongoing creative time here, a little too isolated, seeking life partner, but pretty good :) How are you otherwise ?Craig -Best garden ever thanks to COVID last year and will be even better this yearScott -Craig -PicScott -Glad to read ...

"It all started with a map. It was five years ago today that a small team of bright-eyed individuals—it must have been 35 of us—ran with that idea to form Niantic and explore what could be possible when combining a map with augmented reality. ...
What remains at the heart of why we do what we do is our belief that technology—augmented reality, specifically—can make a profound positive impact on the world. We create moments and memories, augmenting the world around us in ways that encourage exploration, exercise, and social interaction."
