News From My Nation

Pride in my nation seems to be running a little slim these days, but I want to be hopeful about the future, and I guess to find my “community” in some respect. Every so often I think about throwing together a website (or an app of some sort) that pulls content in from various places, and compiles them all into a single place. So for instance, I’ll check out my Alma Mater’s news section on research and discoveries, and I’m happy that I was a part of that — I like to see the advancement of human knowledge. In a broader sense, just being part of the university system in general is a community that I’m proud to have been a part of, so also pulling in those same types of news articles from other universities would help to compile all of that news from my community. These are my peeps!

I’m also an urbanite, and generally interested in the culture and challenges (and opportunities and solutions) that are a part of city life, so compiling news about great urbanism from cities would be a great addition to my news feed.

It’s still important to monitor the rest of the news, but I want to focus more on hopeful futures, and feel more connected to the community that I want to be a part of — the one that is continuing to push humanity forward.
