Check-in (gratinews)
- Brandon … I just spent a little time with my kids before they went to bed after getting home late … also I spent an hour talking about SolSeed today with someone.
- Eric … I had a rough week … spent two chunks of time in the emergency room for my dad … but I'm keen to do some SolSeed work.
- Ben … I’m really grateful that this week is almost over because I have been very miserable and very ineffective at work.
WW(W)s from last time
Organize the WWWs by person and then due date. We’ll start checking in on topical community protocol and meditation for each mini-period between workbees.

SolSeed Village/Business
Eric’s Steps.
- Take a step back.
- E to do visioning exercise with M.
Gainful employment
- This would take a lot of pressure off of the Village side to succeed and could free up a lot of time in our lives for what we want to be doing without changing our living arrangements
- Getting to this point will not be accidental
- Ideas
- Brainstorming would be a good start but we need a process
- Expect <> shape (brainstorming = getting wider, filtering = getting narrower)
Green Hat (Generating Ideas)
- ++++ 3D Printing of living trees
- +++ Lighter than air stratospheric habitats
- +++ High frontier style game
- +++ Earthrise Graphic Design (serving both space advocacy and environmental groups)
- +++ Teaching technology camps/workshops (earn money from the enterprise, empower the disenfranchised, have an space we can use for other events as well)
- +++ Biosphere 3
- +++ Museum of Big Time
- ++ Kindred mapping FB app
- ++ Implement JP Aerospace’s airship to orbit (test aspects of it)

- Black hat (critique ideas we don't like)
- Think of it as a cycle so we don't feel pressured to be exhaustive at each step
Evaluation
- Brandon … fun, yay!
- Ben … it’s fun to imagine things … the practical part of me wonders whether we’ve been spending too much time over the last seven years imagining possibilities that aren’t very realistic
- Eric … what’s realistic is what is in the adjacent possible and you never know what that is, I’m excited about diving into something that I don’t know what it is
