» Stickers replace tweets - "Low-Tech Project Inspires Community Engagement" -from GOOD

Candy Chang’s “I wish this Was” project offers the public a voice in what the community (particularly NOLA) needs are by providing blank stickers for said needs to be written and then stuck in the area in which the needs apply.  Additionally, on her personal site, Candy Chang adds that they are “also developing a digital version called Neighborland that will help residents and community leaders self-organize around shared goals, whether that be the desire for a local grocery store, bike lanes, more trees, less blight, a cafe with WiFi, a taco stand, a recreation center, and beyond. Here’s to better tools for residents to shape the physical and commercial development of their neighborhoods!”

» Investigating New Orleans...take a peek through 'The Lens'

Investigating New Orleans and the Gulf Coast is the motto of The Lens, an online hub of just that. The lens seeks to inform and invoke action in us all (not just natives mind you) to change and repair the city of New Orleans (and the region) so that it may have the same opportunities afforded to us all as citizens of the U S of A!

» invadeNOLA's recent project inspires as much as it promotes...

Kickstarter - InvadeNOLA Volume 2 - Great video to encourage inspiration & innovation among the cultural arts. Not sure if its enough for me to open my wallet and dish out cash, but a great advertisement nonetheless. Bravo, and if you have the funds to help, we encourage it of course.

» Signs your Mayor Might be a Pyschopath - Nawlins Nagin

WDSU reporter Heath Allen caught the mayor on his way into the office this morning and asked him if his computers were seized. Nagin’s comments were short, staccato, and pregnant with delight.

HEATH: Have the federal authorities taken your laptops, computers, anything from your office? Has anything like that happened along those lines?

NAGIN: NOPE! Nothing…(grins)

HEATH: Are you willing to cooperate with the federal authorities if it comes to that?

NAGIN: I’ve always cooperated but I’m not part of any investigation…(smug raised eyebrows smiling) that I know of.

Nagin says at this point he’ll concentrate on running the city (oh, don’t bother getting up for me now) and let the other process run its course. Then he adds for good measure,

“These emails seem to have generated a LOT OF attention. And we’ll just get em out there and let the public decide what’s best.”

Watching yet another episode of Nagin jiving and profiling in the face of self-inflicted scandal, I’m reminded of the meeting in the city council chambers last month when he decided to suspend the professional services panel and choose all the city contractors himself and that woman from the Lower Nine Vanessa Gueringer went to the mic and called him “a psychopath” to his face.
