An article by me on the politics of global warming is going to be in the July-August 2008 issue of Z Magazine.
The July-August issue of Z Magazine will be in co-ops, libraries and small left-wing books stores starting June 28th or shortly thereafter.
After the F2f, trying to decide who is a Buffista and who isn't on Flickr is becoming a challenge.
For good or ill, and due to the fact that there are more and more Buffistas getting on Flickr, I have created a public, but invite only, group on Flickr. So, Buffistas can all join, if we please.
URL will be www.flickr.com/groups/buffistas [link] go there to ask to join the group. Include your Buffistas.org name as reference.
My primary goal is to have a way for us to easily ID Buffistas and have sharing to a group on flickr that is blocked from non-vetted people.
Because i have had questions: Further information about the Buffista group on Flickr:

Our group type:
42 members, so far!
Daniel, I want to add that any photo that gets sent to a group on Flickr, regardless of its setting as a "friends-only" or "family-only" or even "private" is viewable by all in that group. So it makes it easier to share our "friends" or whatever locked photos with other Buffistas: once they're "sent" to the private group, all Buffistas who are in the private group can see the photos.
ETA: I can see that Buffistas is not a private group, but a public one. So if Buffistas don't want their f-locked photos to be kept f-locked, they ought not send them to the group.
My article Cooling a Fevered Planet Economics, policy, and vision for fighting global warming, published in the current issue of Z Magazine is also now available free at their web site.

You can now order Lea's book, The Constant Velocity of Trains, and pre-order my book, City of Insomnia, from the Write Bloody Publishing Web site!
Soon, you'll be able to buy (or at least order) them wherever you buy books, but with small presses it's always better to order direct from the publisher or author.

This past year I spent a week and a half volunteering in New Orleans with an event called Historic Green, an intersection of historic preservation and environmental issues in the New Orleans Holy Cross Neighborhood. . You can read about our achievements here.
I'm on the planning committee for HG 2009 and our pro bono web person has not been able to get things posted on the schedule that we need. Is there anyone out there who might be able/interested? I don't have many details except that we would create the content, just need help getting it posted. IIRC, the site is in PHP.
If you might like to help out or know someone, please email me at my profile addy. Thanks.
