Is good the enemy of the good?
11NTC was all a-buzz about NPower's Community Corps. As far as I can tell, Community Corps and Civic Actions' Geek for Good (which I caught some buzz about last year) are directly competing for the same eyes. They are both online services matching geeks (who have skills and time) with nonprofits (who have tech needs). Is Community Corps's clarion call the death knell of Geek for Good? I didn't hear any talk about the overlap, and Geek for Good's site doesn't have easy contact info. I just posted a contact form to Civic Actions, so stay tuned. (I guess. Not that any of you are tuned.)

Queen of the Universe, 10 & 11
10. Do you own or rent a property which has sidewalks that other people might have to walk or push a stroller or use a wheelchair on, ever? Has there been wintry precipitation recently? It's your responsibility to make your walk safe. No snow. No ice. Wide enough for wheels. If you can't do it yourself, my benign government will have a postal-code/neighborhood-searchable "Get shoveling help" app, so you can find paid or free assistance. If someone slips and falls on your property because you just didn't bother, there will be severe consequences. (For example, making you Snow Remover For Life. for your whole block.)
11. Highway sign change: Any sign that now says "Do not pass" or "No passing zone" will become "None shall pass!!"
