my flickr feed has been a bit constipated until now. here are a few picts that i finally uploaded...

Dear Friends of Noneck,

If you haven't heard, in two short months, I will depart from my beloved city of New York to explore this planet. On 7 July 2007, and traveling for seven months, my feet will wander the earth, while I contemplating seven topics of freedom. On the way, I'll be documenting the experience on the "Luck of Seven" travel site (Lo7). While on the way, I'll be blogging on seven topics of freedom: free culture, free and open-source software, couchsurfers and bloggers, agents of progressive social change, happenstance, and our environment.

Yesterday, I sent out a message to my beloved donors, facebook and flickr friends. Much to my surprise, several previous donors chipped in a few extra bucks, forwarded my email around the globe and blogged about the Lo7. Luck of Seven is now at 24% of the way to fundraising USD$ 7,777. THANK YOU!!!

With 07/07/07 quickly approaching and my first month planned out, I see a wealth of opportunities to explore, BUT I can't do it alone.

1. A small donation of USD $11.11.
Thank you donors!! In return, I promise you an autographed copy of the book. In the meantime, luckofseven.com will continue to tell the story though rich media. < http://luckofseven.com/donate >

2. Spread the word and connect me with your other friends.
There is nothing more important to me than my friends. Though my past years of traveling and countless workshops, I know that we can make this a better place. Regardless if it's just a smiling face, a pint of beer or a hard floor to sit on, I want to visit your friends and say hello. Forward this message to your friends! Then, if you have a blog or social networking site, spread the word. I really need the link love ;)

3. Organizational sponsors for equipment and travel.
In Prague, Transitions Online has asked me to teach on new media journalism to former Communist countries. While "on the way," I look forward to teaching, conversing and interviewing citizens of this earth. If you know of an organization that might be a good fit, please don't hesitate to forward this email or make a formal introduction. I'm quite keen on helping organizations adapt technological frameworks for their own uses, elevate the seven topics of freedom, and share my experiences as an organizer. Otherwise, I'm looking for sponsors to acquire equipment: an HD Camcorder, a GPS device, an GSM cell phone, etc... I have a list and would love to entertain any ideas. Have your people call my people!

... and with that, I hope you place your luck on seven and at least give a donation.

be seeing you...
