As critical mass celebrated their birthday in London, critical mass radio launched serious collobaration between radio stations in the USA.

The theme is Mayday.

Its easy to use the radio stations on our network, and to come up with suggestions suitable to more commercial concerns, and rememer there is free telephone software out there run on skype and no excuses for providing good live feed and trans-national coverage and playback to this year's days. you can liven your local shows with words from others like yourselves in far off places. ... read full story / add a comment

We had another successful evening at the Dolphin's Barn community garden.

For the first time, there was an equal gender balance - 4 fellas and 4 women. We did a little bit of watering. Then we cleared more area of grass and stones and began work on another row. We planted a section of the row with sunflower and pumpkin seeds, I think it was. It was a fine, dry day, and as I looked around the garden, I thought of that first night there, and how radically the place has changed since then. We've had a big impact on the space already, and things are going to get better and better.

Lara brought along some carrot cake that we made, and we shared it out, and then went on our way, until the next time... ... read full story / add a comment

To mark the anniverary of Hans Christian Anderson, and the calls by Shroeder to support this immoral EU constitution-
unknown forces have caused more than a thousand toads, (which belong to the same genus as frogs) to leave the small pond of Altona in Hamburg, and spontanously explode.

This is fatal.
