From Nike's project, we can see that even though they have successfully sold their products to people. Nevertheless, when shoes got beat up, people usually just throw it away. Fortunately, Nike has collected shoes for reuse and build couple public facility. This is type of work that working with community and society, which we talked about during the lecture.

I think this is a great idea. I would love to know more about it. There is not much other information about it on the internet besides what is in the video. Does anyone know if Nike donates these courts or fields? That would be a great way to give back to the community.

I really like this a lot. This is good for Nike public relations wise and it is smart economically as well. Nike being a progressive company is a positive for everyone involved.

This link is an article about the decision to close down the International Market place in the heart of downtown Waikiki, O'ahu, and transforming the space into a high end retail, Sak's Fifth. Being a frequent visitor to the islands, I find this news pretty sad. I have visited the International market every time I have been downtown to Waikiki because of how unique everything was. There were tons of kiosks with hand-made and high quality products and you could bargain with the owners. It really was a fun experience and allowed for a bunch of people to display and sell their distinct art. "The start of the new year marked the end of an era in Honolulu. By the time you read this the International Market Place, the last truly open green space for commerce in the heart of Waikiki, will be closed for good. It will be replaced by a ..."

Wordpress is a free and open-source software package originally designed for blogs but is also now used for websites, forums, and social networks. It lets programmers make plugins and themes and lets them distribute them for free or for pay. After reading through their documentation and examples in high school, I've used it to create several websites for clients -- free to me, and I can charge for my labor. Over the years it's gotten easy enough for almost anyone to put together with some effort and patience. It's putting the power of next-level internet content production into the hands of everyone, and it's getting easier every year.

The Pocket is a student run organization that helps students craft their artistic visions on the stage. Each quarter, roughly 4-6 shows are produced in the Pocket, completely under the direction and operation of students. Many productions are original, some are new renderings of old classics, and some are obscure offerings seldom seen on stage, but they all come from the vision of directors, actors and designers just like you! The Pocket Playhouse aims to provide an arena for students to get involved in all aspects of theatre regardless of prior experience.

I played in a small group of strings and percussion with a pocket play, once! It was definitely a unique experience.

Shapeways has been around for a few years and has gained a lot of traction since 3D printing has gotten more common. It lets 3D artists upload their 3D model and sell it in a variety of materials to whoever wants it. It's sort of like Etsy of 3D printing, except the artist designs it and Shapeways processes the customer's payment, 3D prints it, and ships it. The artist gets some money and Shapeways probably gets more, but they have really high-caliber 3D printers so that's okay. They can also cast your model in metals, including gold and silver, which is something that can't be done yet with a home 3D printer.
