If you’ve not already, visit this site: One Million Acts of Green. Taking no credit, simply sharing awareness and reiterating that a journey of many miles begins with a single step, yours! Thank you for all you do. Well done CBC (and all who are related including Cisco).
Before, by and beyond 2020, perhaps the acts which in various ways are positive and make a difference intrinsically and pervasively relative to quality, value, excellence, simplicity, and social responsibility will be well into the billions (and of benefit to all within the present and future generations).
Merry Christmas and many Happy New Years!

The Elegant Universe, LHC & Cyberinfrastructure… what can you imagine before, by and beyond perfect vision leap year 2020?
On the continual journey from good to great, quality and value will increasingly become inherent.

Interesting piece on Internet Evolution by Mathew Ingram, technology writer for The Globe and Mail in Canada… The Internet Takes Another Step Into Outer Space. Perhaps this is another step in the Internet’s evolution. 2008 certainly has been an interesting year. Between now and perfect vision leap year 2020 the best is ideally yet to come.
Share or help mature ideas for making quality and value increasingly intrinsic and pervasive. Thank you for doing so.

Perhaps cast a vote, e.g. for improving accessibility in remote areas (perhaps you will somehow be a catalyst for there being, by or before 2020, high-speed Internet to the vast majority of homes on the planet, including the vast majority of homes in rural areas). Perhaps you will somehow help the CTO determine priorities for making quality from various perspectives (e.g., quality of life), increasingly intrinsic and pervasive for the betterment and benefit of all.

BTW, you may also enjoy some Currents reading about CNA, including an article about an instructor who recently was chair for the first World Virtual Science and Engineering Fair at which Dr. Roberta Bondar, Canadian Astronaut, Physician, Scientist, Author and Photographer, was a special guest and judge.
Continual advances in collaboration will enable quantum leaps in quality on route to 2020 and increasingly greater dimensions of value-inherent, intrinsic and pervasive.

It has been said (e.g., see today’s message from Neale Donald Walsch) that one should not avoid hearing, or even studying, others points of view; and that you will benefit more from looking into such deeply with an open mind and not cynically.
I have learned that in order to fully see another world, you must experience it, and to appreciate your own world, you must understand that of others. — Jody Beth Lee
Within Inherent Quality Simplicity you are encouraged among other to “Raise the bar, and inherently aim to surpass it!”… Do this wherever you are (e.g.), interactively (e.g.), creatively (e.g.), through reports (e.g.) and continually throughout the globe to build education (for example through websites, e.g., and so on, including cities, e.g.).
This post takes no credit for the progress made or being made around the globe; it does however encourage and applaud it particularly where such increasingly enables combining unity and diversity to continually help create a better world for all.
Create greater dimensions of oneness (e.g.) as knowledge is intrinsically gained and pervasively powerful when information is innovatively shared and collectively matured. Thank you for all you do.

Internet,
Inherent Quality
Tonight’s post is brief. It is about something that perhaps is the hardest and most important thing to do, change minds for the better. Thankfully some try to do it, and have been successful. Thanks to such efforts advances within today’s world exist. For example today’s world provides a network of specialists to help parents with children who have special needs (i.e. those types of children who years ago were misunderstood whereby rather than be helped to bring forth their innate talents or potential genius, society years ago pushed many such types away from effective integration with society and rather than provide help so the child reached their potential and became their best, society pushed them into asylums, towards crime, or in the direction of dark corners of some type). As it is important, ideally a global mindset for goodness and helping others continues to grow and mature so that: cancers and other ills can someday be better treated or ideally prevented; and so in general all more so have a better chance to be healthier, wealthier, wiser, and more at peace. Ideally the inherent qualities of the Internet can be a contributor to healing and making things better. Perhaps someday the Internet will even be seen as a help towards healing every wound. Using words found within a book some may find interesting to read (Don’t they know it’s Friday?), As-salaam Alaykum (Peace be with you).

Looking for an enjoyable, funny, colorful post to read? Try this one! Although the topic is based on something fairly serious (Internet down!!!), it is an enjoyable read simply because of the fun way in which it is written (nice job Nicole!). Also enjoyed was a particular comment which referred to this fun site, It’s A Wonderful Internet (nice research find Asad!). Perhaps some readers of VIIP remember this post which is about a movie with a similar title. Perhaps some remember this post which contains serious numbers in terms of what a single hour of outage means to particular industries (millions per hour!!!).
Has your organization had a network outage recently?
If so feel free to share how long you were down, whether you and others accomplished objectives for the day regardless, and whether you or someone somehow tried to make a positive difference in the day for others regardless. Ideally some good came to the day. Ideally appropriate thanks was plentiful for the inherent quality brought to the day, or the risk management practiced, which allowed objectives to be accomplished regardless of the network unavailability.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development predicts we will have run out of IP addresses by early 2011. (story here) … perhaps this isn’t a news flash for most, however perhaps the title of this post on Internet Evolution makes sense and more will be making the move to IPv6 in the near future: Forward March to IPv6 by 2010
As a somewhat interesting aside, “The nonprofit agency in charge of the Internet’s addresses recently lost track of its own” (story here).

Ideally all increasingly do what they can to help make things progressively better from various perspectives. This post takes no credit, simply shares awareness of a special CBC feature about some who may be helping to make a world of difference.

Did Oprah’s first webcast class of “A New Earth, Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose”, set a new World Wide Web record? 1,860,000 streamed or downloaded it within 1 week. Have you listened to the Flavor of Life? Many likely have not; however click the link and look at the numbers reported by Wikipedia about the Flavor of Life, and then imagine the potential of the Internet and the new records and improvements to quality of life that could be related before, by and beyond 2020. For example, imagine how the United Way is and can be increasingly enabled by software, technology, information, the Internet, and pros and public coming together increasingly as one to be of help to others. This way, this unified hand, could potentially increasingly enable harmonization around initiatives of high purpose. In general a united way is a good way. It can increasingly enable a helping unified hand with far positive reach. In any event, some good news reported today by Tony Bradley (see: Microsoft and Nortel Strengthen UC Partnership; IBM Pledges $1 Billion Investment in Unified Communications). A positive open unified interoperability of people and machines is on the rise and may even lead to unimagined goodness from various perspectives.
