Reading in different spaces

Hooray for summer! It's interesting to read in different disciplines and fields (spaces). For summer I plan to read the pile of books that have been waiting for me on my desk at home. I started reading Shirky's new book, Here comes everybody: The power of organizing without organizations. He writes on information technology and how human relations are changing dramatically. There's a book on wikinomics, one on produsage...how much of a geek am I?

The youth project is going strong. We have 10 young people building a cool website, planning a video, podcasts, a YouTube series about their lives, and who knows what else...I can't believe how lucky I am to get to work with them. The website is still under construction, but check it out as it develops. We set up a Google site, bought a domain name (hoodbytes) and have been trying to figure out how to post our videos and link to everyone's bio pages. It's not as easy as it looks, but these guys are pretty savvy at this stuff.

Life is good today.
