Hi Santa Cruz Future Makers!

I know the SC Future Salon has been inactive for a while now, but hopefully one of you brave souls will reactivate it again in the New Year. Meanwhile...

The ASF Future Salon Network (15 cities) now has a Facebook page. We hope you will click over and "Become a Fan" of the page at: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Future-Salon/235086452515

Once they are "Fans" of the page, Salon leaders, attendees, and the future curious in each of our cities can all use this page to post info about upcoming (always free) Salons, suggest potential speakers, post cool stories about the future of science, business, tech, and social change, upload photos and videos, and ask questions and have discussions on the discussions page. Posts you make here will make it into News Feeds of other fans (unless they hide them), and generally increase exposure of the Salons.

Facebook is improving rapidly. We encourage you to use it wisely now to grow your positive, practical, future-oriented friends!

Visit http://accelerating.org/futuresalon.html for our current list of Salons. Want to start a Future Salon in your city in 2010? Check out the startup guide at the link above.

Friend Future Salon Network Director Brian Hill http://www.facebook.com/brian.hill or ASF President John Smart http://www.facebook.com/john.m.smart if you want to chat more about the Salons…

Cheers,

JS

There's a great free festival going on this weekend at Reid Hillview
Airport(see below).

From: dean@... [mailto:dean@...]

Greetings!

Take Flight for Kids is a hugely popular flying festival series at
Northern California airports.  We recruit up to 100 volunteer pilots of
small airplanes and helicopters, and provide free flights for about
750-1000 young people with disabilities, at risk youth, homeless kids,
foster kids, etc.  Most of the kids get to take controls of the plane
during their 30 minute flights, to experience the empowerment of being
in absolute control of a complex flying machine.

We host simultaneous huge festivals at the airports, with 4000-5000
attendees expected to enjoy a big day of hands on fun.  The emphasis is
on hands accessible activities & STEM science/tech/engineering/math,
with a kids-fly-free component added.  Since the event is absolutely
free, we expect big crowds to join us, making this the biggest
aviation-based STEM science/technology/engineering/math festival in the
Bay Area.

Yup, everything is FREE to all attendees, all volunteers, and all
nonprofits/vendors get FREE BOOTH SPACE!  Free admission, free parking,
free BBQ at noon, free airplane rides to kids 8-17 years old (must be
pre-registered online), free live entertainment, petting zoos, hot air
balloon rides, helicopters, radio controlled aircraft, model rockets,
science experiments, games, rides, fun, fun, FUN!   The sky is pretty
much the limit in this fun-est festival in the Bay Area!

For more info, check the website: http://www.takeflightforkids.com

* 209 booth hosts are officially registered.  WOW that's a lot!
* A whopping 540 young people with special needs and family/friends are
signed up for free flights.
* 79 degrees, slight breeze, PERFECT weather!!!
* 3 awesome live bands are lined up for the day.
* 11 entertainment groups are signed on.
* San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed is CONFIRMED
* Assemblymember Jim Beall is CONFIRMED
* Numerous San Jose Councilmembers are CONFIRMED
* Santa Clara Board of Supervisors Dave Cortese is a personal sponsor
* County estimates are for 3000-5000 festival attendees, maybe more!
* We just ordered 4000 hamburger/hotdogs for the massive FREE BBQ at
noon.

I hope you can join us on August 8!

Cheers

Hi Santa Cruz Futurists,

I just wanted to mention the BIL conference that is going on in
Monterey, March 1st and 2nd.  If you've ever heard of TED, and annual
technology conference that is very expensive to go to but results in a
lot of good videos online.... BIL is a new sidekick of TED, a free
version that doesn't cost anything.  Aubrey de Grey, Tyler Emerson,
Garrett Lisi, and a number of other people will be speaking there...

http://bilconference.com/
http://bilconference.pbwiki.com/

I'll be there for at least one of the days, maybe both.  Hope to see
other people there!

I am immediately distrustful of all commercial offers of supposed
benefits of nanotech with poorly used scientific jargon. "Zero energy"
being equivalent to "scalar energy"? Sounds completely legit!

Oh, please.   Protests are not in any way "out of place for Santa
Cruz."    I'd be shocked if there *wasn't* an organized resistance to
massive growth in the region.

So these students, faculty, and community members include folks who
are literate, erudite, artistic, and tech-savvy.   I don't see
anything unusual or sinister there.   Do you have any idea of how easy
and inexpensive it can be to host a web site?   $50 will get you a
year's worth of decent-quality hosting with a good content management
system.   Throw in a few hours each from people who are thoughtful
writers and artists, plus a little tech support, and you've got an
impressive web site - all easily accomplished over a weekend.

FYI, I run the co-op that helps to push their bits, along with
billions of other bits for dozens of other organizations.   Sometimes
I agree with what those bits say, and sometimes I don't.  In all cases
I fully support their right to speak, and I love helping to provide
the tools to facilitate free speech.

FWIW, in all of my visits to the datacenter, I have yet to encounter
any sinister forces - unless you count the pseudonymous porn site
operators on the 5th floor.  And, if there's big money involved, I've
yet to see it - where's my cut?!    :)


More on topic, I can't say that recent UC management or state
leadership have earned my faith in their ability to come up with an
intelligent and well-balanced growth plan.   On the basis of that
skepticism alone, I'm open to the anti-LRDP arguments.   And, as a
current Santa Cruz resident who used to work at UCSC, I'm not
especially pleased at the idea of a UCSC that is dramatically larger
than it is now, nor do I think it's wise to reduce the quality of
undergraduate education in the pursuit of an increased focus on
research.

That said, I do understand the unfortunate reality that the entire UC
system is bound by law and policy to accommodate the growth in student
enrollment that comes with a burgeoning statewide population, which
means that UCSC must grow to accommodate its share.   That doesn't
necessarily mean that the current LRDP strikes the right balance.   I
only wish I knew what that balance was.   I'm open to the idea that
the tree-sitters in question and their colleagues have substantially
valid arguments.


...speaking only for myself, of course...

There is something very unusual about the folks there.
Given the high quality of the documents they are producing and
the WEB site costs, they seem to be financed by some third
party entity behind the scenes.  I'm hoping some enterprising
young reporter will research them and find out who it is
exactly that is driving them.  They seem to have an element
of anti-technology and anti-science blended in with their
masked anarchy.  In person they appear threatening and
perhaps dangerous, and I am fearful for our safety and
security on campus for the indefinite future no matter how
this current situation is resolved.  They are really out of
place for Santa Cruz.

--Hiram

I have only looked at a draft of the Long Range Development plan from
2005, so there may have been updates.  The draft I looked at seemed
to outline plans to the year 2020 to extend the campus into a SECOND
ring, reaching beyond the outer Science Hill Ring.  Meaning, instead
of a core loop and outer science/college 9/10 loop, there will be TWO
outer loops!

The document seemed to emphasize environmental sensitivity.  Most
especially, it repeatedly stated that the construction would
completely avoid the "meadows," the fields lying between the extreme
West and East parking lots, the empty lands filling the middle of the
campus.

However, this "outer-outer loop" clear-cuts sections of redwood
forest in the north.

Furthermore, these "meadows," when you think of it, are really
stretches of flammable brush.  Dead, brown grass and hay for much of
the year (even though environmentalists agree that not even desert
should be labelled "unecessary" wasteland... all ecosystems are
precious in their own way, yes, yes).  Still, it's hard not to value
redwood forest over that brown "meadow" brush.

This is all I've read.

You are invited to the Santa Cruz Future Salon on November 18, Sunday
7:00 pm @ Borders Books, Santa Cruz.

Our topic is "What if information were free?", presented by Andrew
Rondeau and Jeff L Jones.

We are moving to a world where access to information is perceivably
free and instantly accessible. 20th Century economic models of
generating information are failing. What kind of a world will exist
when any piece of consumable information can be quickly accessed for free?

Our next salon is this Sunday, September 16, 7:00 PM at Borders Books
Santa Cruz.  Come join us for an open discussion (no main speaker).

Between now and then, feel free to suggest discussion topics, posting
them to this list.  Since I am reading "Nanoethics: The Ethical and
Social Implications of Nanotechnology" I am recommending that we
discuss "what can and should we do to guide the development of
technology?"

We will meet the 3rd Sunday of each month at Borders.  We welcome you
to propose a topic or speaker for an upcoming month.

Futurists,

Our summer hibernation is coming to an end with a Sunday, September
16, Future Salon.  We will meet the 3rd Sunday of each month at
Borders Santa Cruz for a discussion.  If we (that includes you) would
like to invite a speaker, we will plan a topic around his/her talk.
If we (again including you) would like to propose discussion topics in
advance, we will share them on this list in advance so we can prepare
for discussion without a guest speaker.
