The alonovo.com People Before Profit Film Series

[Note: Promoted by mole333]

In order to help educate the public and build community around the theme of "People Before Profit", we need your help. Beginning February 10 with "The Corporation" we are planning a series of nationwide house parties, each of which will be followed by a 30 minute conference call with the filmmakers, authors and/or subject matter experts.

We are honored that Professor Joel Bakan, author of "The Corporation" and others will be joining us for the event.

Over the next several months, the alonovo.com house party film series mission is to help people understand how ExxonMobil, Wal*Mart, Halliburton, Enron, General Motors, Union Carbide Kimberly-Clark and others that put the pursuit of profit above all else, harm society, the environment and our resources. We will be presenting films from Hello Cool World, Brave New Films, MoneyTalks, Ashoka and others that offer compelling independent media that is either edgy or inspirational, and all related to corporate behavior.

As egregious corporate behavior is a theme that impacts all of us, I would be personally grateful if you could help us with visibility for the event. If you could help promote the series to your community it would be of great value to your constituents. If you are able to help us we would be happy to list your organization as an event co-sponsor or major co-sponsor and provide a link back to your site, or an educational campaign you may have developed which is aligned with the film or film series.

Words to live by

Nobody needs to be told how to use the lounge chair. "Users" of any age, background, or degree of sophistication can immediately comprehend it: take it in, in almost all of its details, at a single glance. It is self-revealing to the point of transparency, and the same can be said of most domestic furniture: you lie on a bed, put books and DVDs and tchotchkes on shelves, laptops and flowers and dinner on tables. Did anyone ever have to tell you this?

The same cannot be said of the iPod - which, remember, is one of the best-thought-out and comparatively simple digital artifacts ever developed, demonstrating market-leading insight into users and what they want to do with the things they buy. Take off your power user hat, try to imagine life without the chops you've earned over the course of your involvement with these complex artifacts, and you'll see that to people encountering an iPod for the first time it's not obvious what it does, or how to get it to do that. It may not even be obvious how to turn the thing on.

You don't have to configure the chair, or set preferences. You needn't worry about compatible file formats. You can take it out of one room or house and drop it into another, and it still works exactly the same way as it did before, with no adjustment. It never reminds you that a new version of its firmware is available, and that certain of its features will not be available until you do choose to upgrade. As much as I love the iPod, none of this can be said for it.
