Watch for even more ripples this Friday as the next phase of supporting Susan Reynolds is launched...
is give peas a chance.
It's a lovely thing.

Peas out.
What it shows is how completely self centered the author is, spending several paragraphs begging to getting an invite on the plane with the “cool kids” from Google. If Google lets him on the plane, I am switching to Yahoo Search.
If you are interested in learning about the important work being done by the WEF, look here, http://www.weforum.org/en/initiatives/index.htm.
What it has done and what you point out, is that the simplest concepts can bring people together and galvanize them into action. Thank you for supporting and blogging about Frozen Pea Friday.
As to getting on the plane: at least I do my begging in public where you all can judge it. I know a lot of that kind of begging usually goes on behind closed doors where it's likely to be much more effective.
And thanks for supporting Susan, as we all are trying to do.
The Greek guy!
In the middle of the night east coast time I wasn't able to sleep so was blogging. A random tweet from you about peas flew by which I thought was dear but not too surprising. There have been many people telling me about their experience or their mom, neighbor, sister, after I found a mass in my breast.
What you did NEXT with the little pea of an idea shows me something about you that I didn't know, however Robert, and I thank you for the personal touch you gave this post. And thank the rest of those who somehow turned my frozen pea ice pack into a labor of love and support.
No matter how difficult a path, I'm glad I tweeted this from the beginning on Dec 5. For the want of an iphone I could do my imitation of you in the hospital with Milan's delivery as I schlep off to Sibley in DC on Friday!
With the semi-smart phone I'll be able to send a few tweets but won't be able to follow what you're saying back to me until I get the laptop back - hopefully Sunday. THAT can't come too soon.
Why would you want to fly on the Google Party Plane to Davos?
So you can meet with other bloggers and geeks to talk about how the Internet is changing everything, but talk FACE TO FACE instead of over the Internet?
So you can wring your hands about oil and the Middle East after getting off a machine that burned several times more jet fuel per passenger than a public passenger jet?
So you can wring your hands about Bali, Kyoto and carbon credits after likewise unnecessarily dumping the tons of carbon exhaust into the atmosphere, instead of just hopping on a plane that was already going there?
So you can wring your hands about world hunger while chomping through some lovely shrimp cocktails at 42,000 feet?
Frozen Pea Friday, and Snakes on a Plane. The world is finally safe.
For a second I thought you said "Snacks" and wanted to know where do I sign.
But peas have a theme songs and everything!
Improved acces to clean drinking water will do far more in say the deastert areas of brazil than some feel good olpc child project. (25% death rate for kids up to the age of 5 in that area)
For those of you giving money please know that The American Society has invested more in breast cancer research grants over time than any other voluntary public health organization – $322.7 million since 1972! And thanks for giving! Maybe we can all form a virtual team at a Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in 2008?
