Because I was just creating one, I ran across this rather old article which I thought might be useful to some of you out there

The deep-sea in Antarctica has recently cooled down dramatically. The Alfred-Wegener-Institute in Bremerhaven claimed that it is until now unclear, whether this dramatic deterioration of the temperature around the south-pole was due to the cooling of the polar streams. For the last decades the south-polar sea had heated up. This trend has now been breached for the first time, says the team around the oceanographer Eberhard Fahrbach.Satellite imagery has also shown a huge increase of the mass of the ice caps that has ever been recorded in an antarctic summer. Whether the crash in temperatures is a sign for a changing trend could only be determined over a period of the following years. 58 scientists were in the antarctic ocean to analyze the polar summer from February to April.

I was confronted with the cool risk deterioration feature of the banking industry - a. k. a. Basel II - several times in the past. For those that are not familiar with what Basel II is (click)

In a nutshell: the greater risk to which the bank is exposed, the greater the amount of capital the bank needs to hold to safeguard its solvency and overall economic stability Wikipedia. And since entrepreneurs are (in general - and by their business plan yet so good) considered an “unbearable risk” makes credits damn expensive, if at all possible.

What this means for an entrepreneur?
You will hardly receive money from the bank for less than 10%. Even if your possessed assets outnumber the requested  amount 10:1 you’ll be asked to kindly pay a ridiculous amount of interest.

Now, entrepreneurs are usually not dumb… A fact the clever bankers obviously haven’t discovered. So the logical consequence is  that they come up with great ideas to get their hands on money. Cheaper than banks will offer it.

The result is that, all over the world, little pools of friendships are developing amongst entrepreneurs which lend each other money (that they currently don’t need in operations etc.) at an interest rate that doesn’t hurt the other (like the bank’s 11-15% would).

And this is where it gets nifty!! Not only has the bank shot its self in the foot because it receives NOTHING, but - from the lender’s point of view - the money that I don’t currently possess is good money because I don’t have to pay taxes for it.

It seems to have all events on there that are worth visiting.

An ingenious idea, as I think - not only from an environmental aspect. But also for establishing cross-cultural relationships!

I ran across this thing by accident… And it is so awesome!

Basically no more than an ecard- but one the whole gang can sign…

And this is how squidnote describe themselves:

WHAT THE HECK IS SQUIDNOTE?
Squids are weird. What’s this all about?
SquidNote is a unique online service that helps you create a card and circulate it to other people to sign (around the office, classmates, friends, family). Everyone adds a special message to the card and it gets e-delivered to a lucky recipient. You can even add a gift card that the entire group can add money to. (and squids aren’t that weird)

What does SquidNote cost?
Do you like free? We thought so.
