CultureCraft: commons design collective+Inspiring Story

For me, here's where it starts: 

There is no employer in Kitchener-Waterloo, to my knowledge, that would hire me based on my currently 4058 tweets. But if there is anything which I feel begins to represent me in my fullness, and represents my calling on this planet, it could at least be glimpsed in my twitter feed, in ways that are many orders of magnitude beyond what a resume can show for me. 

 

I have a great, even amazing, day job doing web design. I don't want it, I think it sucks. And all that I mean by that, is that when I work there, I have the feeling, "I could do so much more." Through various interactions with many young (and older!) people, I've gotten the feeling that many of us share that restlessness in our lives, the burning passion to *do more*, to not settle for the "McJobs" that we've been offered. 

 

The possibility:

I have the desire to co-create the infrastructure for us to *do more*, to build what Umair Haque calls a 'betterness' not a 'business'. The project will move forward as a means of providing myself, at the very least, with a deeply meaningful livelihood, and it's a desire deep in my heart to create that possibility for and with many other people as well, with any and all of you being the very welcome first people to join together on this journey.
