• A comment on Talk: David Birch: Identity without a name

  Jun 4 2012: I love how he has some opinions that he just throws out there, like the copyright and bankers things... He kind of deviates and creates an awkward moment, but he says it so casually

  A comment on Conversation: If you could open-source one piece of technology, what would you choose and why?

  Jan 19 2012: Few people think of agriculture as technology; however, it is the single piece of technology that put us humans on the map. Also agriculture is a field in which too many people and continents are lagging behind. I would open source agricultural research since this would have the greatest potential to quickly make an impact on global poverty and hunger in all of its forms.
  
  Also, the incentive to contribute would be greater since (except for GM crops) most agriculture is done by farmers and relatively smaller companies in an almost perfect market.

  A comment on Talk: David Damberger: What happens when an NGO admits failure

  Dec 11 2011: Is there such a thing as an NGO that exclusively checks on, gives maintenance and provides feedback on projects done by other NGO's?.
  
  Such thing if done on a large scale could probably generate the information necessary not only to enable further success, but also to create the accountability that has been talked about
