The article below is to yet another idea for a bookshelf. Again, this isn’t one that I would use, but perhaps a reader may. It certainly has interest.

Internet Archive: Hard Copy Ark
The link below is to a great article on one of my favorite websites – the Internet Archive. The Internet Archive is also setting up a ‘hard copy ark,’ in which they are trying to save a copy of every book for the future. It’s a great site and a great idea.

‘The Pilgrim’s Progress,’ by John Bunyan – in the Wild
I have now registered with BookCrossing.com and I am about to release my first book ‘into the wild.’ I got onto this idea by reading ‘365 Ways to Change the World,’ by Michael Norton.
Releasing the book ‘into the wild’ is simply leaving the book somewhere for another person to pick up.
To view information on the book and it’s release ‘into the wild,’ visit:
Changing the World: December 19 – Blind Waiters
I won’t dwell too long on this suggestion – not because I don’t want to support the cause, which is to support blind people to find employment as waiters. There doesn’t seem to be an Australian or for that matter, a widely global application of the idea.
In several European cities there are restaurants which are in darkness, giving employment opportunities for the blind and increasing awareness of what it is like to be blind.

Changing the World: December 16 – Support the Clown Doctors
Today’s suggestion is about getting behind the ‘clown doctors.’ Who are these ‘doctors?’ These are the people who seek to bring humour to the depressing wards of hospitals, especially for children.
Clown Doctors – a good idea that helps kids in hospital.

Changing the World: December 14 – Sex Strike
Ok, this suggestion appears to be one for the women – at least the examples I’ve read about were all women. I’m not sure that this idea would do a lot.

Changing the World: December 13 – Hunger Banquets
Today’s suggestion is yet another with a website to provide further information. I like the idea of hosting a ‘hunger banquet’ in that it provides an opportunity for a bit of fun, yet increases awareness of a major global crisis and the opportunity to raise some money to help.
