Good results with alternative technologies

Been writing over in the Odonata sphere tonight. I continue in this web journal, a journey of personal inquiry and spirituality, carrying an undying (if vain) hope that Señor Manuel will be back to join me some time… Eh, Mañuel, puedese hablar español también, amigo!

While the words here reflect an individual path, I have also begun to keep a day-book, with other members of the Odonata Ecovillage project, to track communal growth and inquiry, and to detail how that amazing, challenging, and already rewarding work is progressing.

We just finished a 1- to 2-hour conference call, with 4 participants spread between various points in New England and the Midwest, for $2 total cost. This was during prime time, and no, it was not using cell phones, but instead free Internet software which linked three of us, while we paid 2 cents per minute to interface with a conventional telephone for the fourth.

A few slight glitches, but all in all…

Look, AT&T was going to charge us $220 per hour! Tell me who's going to be losing money soon, if they aren't already looking at their finger, wondering how it is going to plug the hole in a dike which has already burst… The landscape in technology changes so quickly.

Anyway — worth the review. Take a look at more details on the Odonata Wings Web Journal.
