The Story of Stuff

The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute film that takes viewers on a provocative and eye-opening tour of the real costs of our consumer driven culture—from resource extraction to iPod incineration.

I missed being in NY and seeing you as well. That's partly why I'm coming to the meeting tonight. See you there.

Paul,

Have you heard about the Innovation Camp -- http://innovationcamp.wordpress.com/2008/06/02/innovationcamp-wants-you/. I thought of you when I read about it. I'll be out of town that weekend, so I can't join in the fun. But I'd love to hear all about it if you attend.
