A new newciv.org website layout has been in progress since the last couple of months. Quite a considerable amount of work that is, as there are several hundred pages, as it needs to end up considerably more simple and usable than today. But it is looking very promising. Danny Caudillo is doing the graphical design.
Fuel-cell batteries are taking a bit longer to come to market than expected, but apparently around 2004 they would enter normal use. A fuel cell converts hydrogen to electricity without burning it, just by letting it go through a certain kind of mebrance. Sounds like magic, and it should produce batteries with 10 times the capacity of what is available today.

Yesterday I spent at a seminar with Al Joy called "Beyond the Matrix". Rather mind blowing, and very personal, and I can't really say much about it. Other than that I meet very, very few people who recognize what I'm about, even after knowing me for years, and it is marvelous to meet a stranger who's capable of figuring you out right away.
Don't ask yourself what the world needs;
ask yourself what makes you come alive.
And then go and do that.
Because what the world needs
is people who have come alive.
--Harold Whitman
