It was great to meet James Farmer and hear his ideas about aggregating blogs for education. Discussing Doug Rushkoff with Sebastien Fiedler while sitting in the sun in Rushcutter’s Bay was pretty surreal too!

A nice reflection by Emily, one of Hector Vila’s Middlebury students:
I have to admit that I never truly understood the real importance of supporting local farmers. Back home, supporting local farmers or buying organic produce seemed like a thing reserved for the well-to-do who had money to blow. (Yes, other people do buy local, but for the most part, I feel like because of the prices, the upper class is the main party buying from local farmers.) However, each time I go out to the garden, I look around at the vast farm fields, and I’m reminded of how the people around us need support from the community. They cannot survive without it.
