After a year of learning and experimentation with TheRevolution.US I've decided to start fresh. I'm going to focus on creating a section for San Diego with pages including free WIFI locations, biographies of local politicians, and a list of local events. I'm hoping to build a framework that will in time allow the same to be done for other cities. At the same time I'll be trying to start some local discussion and action groups using the site as a communication tool.

In early February I'll be taking out papers to run for Mayor of San Diego and attempting to gather the 2,200 signatures needed over that month. The process should help familiarize me with the city's political system a bit more and help me with building things here.

In March I have an art show scheduled to show prints of my stencils. I'll be stumbling through different methods of making and using stencils until then, hopefully I'll take some pictures and put together a tutorial as well. I'll try to make tutorials of some of the steps I take building the San Diego section too, such as uploading and embedding photos and using some basic HTML tags.

I'm still mainly doing things solo, so if anyone wants to help out with anything let me know.

I just finished my run for Mayor of San Diego and it went great, you can check out my website for it at RevolutionaryMayor.Com

Now I'm trying to figure out how to get to Santiago, Chile for a vacation/adventure. I'm planning on setting up a new website at EricBidwell.Com to record how that goes.

Once I get back from Chile, or decide to give up, I'll be back to working on this site...
