I'm a bit of a luddite when it comes to VR and that kind of thing, but this is a pretty interesting application of augmented reality to build a complex brick wall. lnkd.in/gbApeRV

A key takeaway from a lecture I attended the other night: We tend to measure success by what one "gets" (earns, receives, accumulates), but we really should be measuring success by what one "gives" (shares, contributes, improves).

I love how @Our_DA can flood @CityofCT with election posters 3 months before an election, but 3 months before the taps run dry (#DayZero) and it's all kumbaya business as usual. 😐 Well done @PatriciaDeLille

I see the #watercrisis in Cape Town as a collective action problem. A neo-liberal local government is especially ill-equipped to handle such a problem. When they've preached personal responsibility for years it's not easy to then get people to accept collective responsibility
