Think Thunk. Members wanted.

Hello, and welcome !

This Think Thunk blog now has an associated Google group; http://groups.google.com/groups/ThinkThunk. Both of these resources are intended to be a meeting place to exchange ideas, provide resources, comments and support for the many endeavors that Think Thunk will address and be invloved in.

ThinkThunk.com had its genesis in an exercise done in class last week. The coach asked individuals to write down what each person saw as a possibilty of creating. I saw the possibility of caring. We then imagined standing in the future 10 years and looking back. What I saw was illiteracy being addressed on global scale. It began with a website, and expanded into books, TV, radio, satellite broadcasts, etc. It began with a small group of people enrolled in the possibility of education for all, reagrdless of age, education, race, location, social or financial status. I imagined bringing the resources, such as laptops, books, etc in a mobile vehicle, to those who could not get to them. That was the beginning.

I believe that education, beginning with literacy will empower people. Self-esteem, understanding of others, and real possibilites for rewarding and meaningful conrtibution to society can result. My hope is that better understanding leads to peace.

I intend to use ThinkThunk as a starting point, or springboard for my possibility. I am inviting and encouraging everyone to please contribute whatever thoughts, insights, constructive criticism, time and resources here - to allow this group help you accomplish creating you own possibilty. We have the power to create community through enrollment, where people are moved, touched and inspired to do great things.

This is your invitation. Invite your friends too. This is a place for involvement and action. Please visit thinkthunk.com and make suggestions. It is brand new and will develop to respond to the interests and needs of this community.

Welcome! Steve R.

P.S. Today's contributions include: adding email functionality to the website through a custom contact form, the creation and limited invitation to the Google group ThinkThunk, code cleanup for this blog providing a clean and functional template, and testing functionality of all links.
