I just got an email from my friend Emily Jacobi asking for support for a cool project.  If you remember, I had the pleasure ofworking with Digital Democracy on their Handheld Human Rights project during NetSquared’s 2009 Conference.  This latest project is an extension of their project.

They’re looking to translate a book called “Little Brother” into 4 Burmese languages.  The money will support activists living around Burma’s borders who will translate the book and distribute it around the country.

Inspiring social change – through a book – using online fundraising.  This is old school AND new school activism.  How can wenot support it?

Make a pledge here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1033999452/little-brother-vs-big-brother

Books are one of the few things you can never waste money on.

Thank you!

Hello internet. I’m happy to say I won my goal with Kickstarter. Thank you everyone! I could not have done it without you. For those who missed the action, I decided to do a 4 hour marathon online DJ set (that’s part of what’s documented in the video above) to raise the remaining funds for my $1500 Kickstarter project goal. Throughout it, people were Facebook chatting me, Twittering, emailing and calling to wish me luck, spread the word of We Operate Best Together and make pledges. With just 7 minutes to spare before midnight, July 4th, I MADE IT. Had I not, I would not have gotten ANYTHING. Zilch. Nada.

Again, THANK YOU FANS, BACKERS AND SUPPORTERS!

That said, I am now taking a little bit of time to recoup, get grounded and prepare to ROCK Europe…

Not to mention that a server hiccup caused me to lose all posts from the past 7 months, shortly there after. HA! Seems a perfect time to do this before setting out on my adventure.

A strong ship makes for strong sailing, no?
