If there’s already a thread that’s devoted to giving a heads-up that there’s new news – you know, as opposed to old news—coming from one of Our Fearless Leaders or from any other individual connected with the Kiva organization—you moderator people have my consent, in advance, to move this post wherever that thread might be.

It just happens that every once in awhile, as in – just now – I’ll see that Matt added a new post at Social Edge – or that somebody else at Kiva said something or did something, somewhere – that I think a whole lot of you would be interested in knowing about, and I never know where to post about it. I’m thinking that I, probably, am not the only one who has had that happen to them.

So, in case there isn’t a place already to do this, I’m starting this thread for the purpose of having one set place where any one of us can proclaim to the others, “Hey Guys. Check this out. We’ve got more news about Kiva , and it’s purty inneresting.”

See Matt’s latest blog posting at Social Edge, dated 9-14-08:

EDIT: In connection with that last part, if any Kiva personnel happen to read this, please Be Safe.

I agree with Jill. We want the Kiva office staff to take care of themselves - and their families - and their community. You guys are doing great things and I join with Jill in her concern. I read Matt's blog this morning (I use the Kiva Toolbar to stay up to date

and wish he wouldn't walk to work.

I love this neighborhood, but am sad to see it turning to hell. SF is a crazy place. Despite the pervasive affluence -- homelessness, drugs and violence are concentrated in pockets throughout the city. I live near one of them pockets. It's also one of the most interesting, uplifting and family-oriented places around.

Watch out for each other - life is complicated enough...

I find not direction in the readings of those with whom my eccentricities are similar, but rather validation.

My only solace is that I find a peaceful place where I might be resigned to my depriving loneliness.

New post by Matt... Glad he got those new features done before he left.

Antibes was one of my favorite places to go hang out when I lived in La Bocca.
