I found The Bridge by browsing to one of my old friend's MySpace page, where I noticed the design had been altered and the link credit took me to the place where she made it. Glue, Inc.'s The Bridge is a fascinating concept. Build a digital Bridge around the world, one Mile at a time, to help support causes that *YOU* care about. 24,196 miles, one at a time. The Bridge is built by designers and other people who are interested in helping make a difference. The Bridge consists of art and design contributions depicting how people are concerned about changing the world. People are invited to contribute more than once. Each contribution equals one Mile. I was Mile # 769. For every Mile that artists contribute to The Bridge, the corporate sponsors will donate one dollar to the cause that you choose your Bridge to be about. The Bridge is a part of The Glue Network and the corporate sponsors include Adobe (donates to Unicef) and Quicksilver (donates to Surfrider) among others. Build your Bridge today, and help make a difference in your world.

Monopoly is changing over to digital credit cards to manage the currency balance when playing the game. No more counting out cash and divying it up amongst your pals. Splendid. It does reflect the fact that our economy is no longer spurred on by gold bullion stashed away prodigiously in Fort Knox, but by lines of credit and balances of numbers with zeros behind them. Our entire economy is based on the world's trust in us.

Twttr.com looks promising. I don't have a bluetooth phone so it's not so easy for me to go through my Getro and backup my phone number list aka my social life. Fortunately everyone I communicate with has text messaging on their phones, a sign of the times. Now I have a reason to backup all my numbers, even if the people I add to my friend's list on twttr.com don't sign up for the service, I will have all their numbers backed up.
