Google + Hangout YouTube Videos

Greetings!

I've been waiting for some others to pioneer Google Plus's new feature, Hangout. For those who are not following the latest initiative by Google, their Google Plus combination of features which is competing with Facebook for what they think is a smarter version of social networking for the adult crowd - contains a video-conferencing feature called "Hangout".

Here are links to some of the recent experiments wit it by the fist collections of beta-testers. I think it may hold some promise as a means to reduce travel times and expense for nonprofit organization board of director meetings.

Santa Rosa's Day of Service

Greetings!

This afternoon, almost a hundred residents responded to Barack Obama's call to undertake a local volunteer project to improve our communities. They joined together to clean up several creeks near Piner Creek in Santa Rosa, California. A local photographer brought his camera, and captured the faces of those involved.

How it got started

Greetings!

For some time now, I've been creating videos which describe opportunities for those with time on their hands to do interesting things. Mostly, the opportunities have related to getting out and experiencing the great environments in California. With increasing cutbacks in governmental programs at the local level, I thought that it was time that we improved our ability to understand where and when we could spend some of that time volunteering to keep those environments healthy for us to enjoy.

I will post as many short videos as I can produce and acquire, in an organized structure, which help us understand how to get involved easily. I invite others to send me similar videos, and I will ensure they are included.
