Some overdue links for your delectation:

• TheyWorkForYou, Video, tagging, crowd-sourcing… MySociety have another great new development and you can help improve it: Video on TheyWorkForYou

• Brighton & Hove Dharma Yatras
  Scroll down to the very, very bottom to view pictures from a couple of silent peace walks for the Tibetan and Burmese peoples. I participated in a couple and found them very moving.
