Please keep these personal squabbles offline. We all have better and more
productive things to do.

I think redwood tech needs to know that Rob Arkley dose not support veterans
or volunteer efforts on the Gulf Coast.

Dear Gordon,
You are a little defensive. It looks like small ball with much noise

Been doing something
Since helping to start Redwood Tech Consortium, I've graduated to helping
restore the Eureka theater, building websites for non-profits and teaching
kids to shoot and edit video using Imovie. In 2001 my funding from the NEA
was cut by the President. So I had to find something else to occupy my time.
Then 911 hit and all hell broke lose. Needless to say, as a veteran I was
not impressed with Bush and after his venture into Iraq I felt I have to do
something.
In the spring and summer of 2005 I built a Bio Diesel powered bus called the
"Veterans For Peace Impeachment Tour" painted it red, white, and blue (like
a upside down flag) and stuck a Motosat Internet dish on the roof drove it
to the www.veteransforpeace.org <http://www.veteransforpeace.org/> national
convention in Dallas. While there, Cindy Sheehan as me and my bus crew to
take her to Crawford, President Bush's ranch so that she could ask him a
simple question. After spending 26 days in the ditch waiting for him to
answer her question shooting and editing videos and blogging about it,
Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.
Needless to say we gathered what donations and supplies we could,
generators, chain saws, water, diapers, cooking supplies and drove all night
to get into New Orleans. When we arrived we started working at a Red Cross
Shelter on the North Shore we noticed that there was no cell service
working, the shelter had no communications at all. We set up a computer
station in the parking lot of the shelter and began helping evacuees fill
out online forms for the Red Cross and FEMA. I also created website with the
help of our friends at www.michaelmoore.com and began organizing a peace
relief effort. Check out http://neworleansvfp.ning.com
<http://neworleansvfp.ning.com/>
Well, it's been over two years and the bus is back on tour and much of the
volunteer efforts have changed from feeding, communications and resupply to
rebuilding. Over that time I shot videos and posted them to youtube and
other vblogs and I set up sat internet access systems and used the donations
to help start several non profits including www.unitedpeacerelief.org
<http://www.unitedpeacerelief.org/> , www.commongroundrelief.org
<http://www.commongroundrelief.org/> , with the help of my friends at
www.plenty.org <http://www.plenty.org/> , We did pretty good considering the
issues we faced.
Now I'm building a home in Slidell, LA at the site of one of the relief
camps as well as a biodiesel plant to run our construction company
www.bioliberty.net <http://www.bioliberty.net/> We are training veterans
for produce bio diesel and clearing lots in the Lower Ninth Ward, first for
the residents that began to move back, for Paul Chan's out door version of
"Waiting For Godot" and then Brad Pitt's Make it Right.
By the way the NTEN conference is in New Orleans this March. David Pogue is
the Keynote, Some of you may remember I brought David to the first Redwood
Tech Conference!
You guys keep talking, I'll keep doing.

Dear Jean,
Great idea. I like your style. Let's stop talking and do
something. That is my model. This area is mired in talk and inaction.
Vty,
Rob

You guys sound like a bunch of squabbling ten-year-olds. Let's all just
do everything we can to come up with as many different solutions to the
problem as possible and then, everyone, in his own way, implement those
solutions that are feasible for each individual and group. In other
words, do what you can, whenever you can, wherever you can. And continue
to come up with ideas because ideas are the seeds of innovation.
