Not very new but still one of the most interesting things on the web: Rocky Mountain Institute is an entrepreneurial, nonprofit organization that fosters the efficient and restorative use of resources to create a more secure, prosperous, and life-sustaining world. The E. F. Schumacher Society, named after the author of Small Is Beautiful: Economics As If People Mattered, is an educational non-profit organization founded in 1980. Our programs demonstrate that both social and environmental sustainability can be achieved by applying the values of human-scale communities and respect for the natural environment to economic issues. Building on a rich tradition often known as decentralism, the Society initiates practical measures that lead to community revitalization and further the transition toward an economically and ecologically sustainable society. Ocean Arks International was founded in 1981 by John Todd and Nancy Jack Todd. Our goal was to create an ecological design science and practice adaptable to both rich and poor regions of the world. Our motto is, "To Restore the Lands, Protect the Seas and Inform the Earth's Stewards". Since 1982 our publication Annals of Earth has chronicled the work of OAI and of our colleagues around the world. The Santa Fe Institute is a private, non-profit, multidisciplinary research and education center, founded in 1984. Since its founding SFI has devoted itself to creating a new kind of scientific research community, pursuing emerging science. 10:19:36 PM

A flexible keyboard with Bluetooth connection for blogging with my PDA, this is something I'm looking forward. The 2nd generation Bluetooth headsets are arriving. 9:08:41 PM
