Blog Spinoffs like crazy!!!! ‘Niche-ify’ ‘Niche-ify’

I started yet another wordpress blog in an effort to further ‘niche-ify’ my work.  So much of what I wanted to post about in postalheaven.wordpress.com and then sparechangenews.com was technical stuff about computers and as of late that is specifically studies about Linux.  So the name is a tribute to my wife who came up with the term I was looking for for a miniscule linux operating system – minilini.wordpress.com.  Minilini.wordpress.com will not only be about small linux operating systems and their hardware friends tiny pcs (there will also be www.tinypcnews.com launching in a short time) but about all my experiences trying to work with Linux.

Talking about my wife, she has spunoff preborn.wordpress.com  from noblevine.net at my suggestion for her Pro-Life work specifically, in an effort to further ‘niche-ify’ her work.

My WordPress dashboard will never be the same again.

Food Not Bombs— Tuesday and Thursday nights to move soon from St. Mary’s into the new kitchen at the Hive

Watch here or at http://www.gsohive.com to find out new information. The target date for the move has passed and serving is still at St. Mary’s house. We will do our best to keep you informed about the date of the move to 1214 Grove St. (The Hive).

There was an excellent article in the News and Record about Food Not Bombs and other free eating titled “Community Cuisine”. Check it out if you have a chance.

Opinion – the upper middle class doesn’t see it.

Asking customers and acquaintances if they were seeing the slowdown in the economy affecting them, I’ve gotten an almost universal response of no.

So when will they realize that the global billionaires aren’t going to include them either (the millionaires and the middle class)?

Probably when they can’t get any food either. Then they will have to leave their houses and fancy jobs to head wherever there might be food.

Of course, right now the middle class doesn’t see it. In that way, the impoverished are advantaged, because they are already used to being pushed around and marginalized and controlled by food supplies, etc.

Just my opinion.

International Network of Street Papers www.street-papers.org

While doing research I found INSP
The International Network of Street Papers
88 papers in 37 countries and 6 continents
reaching 32 million readers worldwide

They just finished having a conference in Glasgow, Scottland.

They receive support from Reuters and Inter Press Service.

Their website is really impressive and has huge resources available to sparechangenews.com.

They have a published guide to setting up a Street Paper and offer advice, support, and funding solutions.

They call for a Poverty Day Campaign on October 17th

They also have a Street News Service to help publications like us share content
