Big spender
I wrote an article a few years back about my experiences with the Talent Exchange - I'm attaching it here.
Aside from that I am also the membership manager for, primarily the Cape Town Talent Exchange, and a few other exchanges in South Africa. I am always happy to help anyone with anything to do with the CES.
I have recently got involved with Transition Towns and, with Les Squires help, I have set up a Ning site for the South African initiative. I am no greenie, well I wasn't until a couple of months ago, so am a complete novice at all this.
I have a disability, I run my computer software company from home, I am a BodyTalk practitioner, I offer Destiny Card games and Transformation games, I have a talking group called Snippets, I teach Taijiquan to the disabled and teach two private students from my home or in a heated therapy pool. Have a look at my website www.seagull.co.za.
I recently got divorced, so will be moving out of my home of 20 years. My dream is to build a Symbiotic living centre - i.e. a place where a few people can live together, share resources, offer treatments, share venue space, have a therapy pool, a veggie garden and a safe space where other mobile disabled people can come for treatments. I want it to be built using eco-friendly principles and as far as possible funded through the Talent Exchange. I want to operate it as a Talent business, ie. charge for use of the facilities and accommodations in Talents.
If anyone wants to offer me some advice on how to raise the capital I need to buy the plot and get the place built, I'm ready to listen. I would love to sell Talents to anyone for cash, get myself seriously into Talent debt and then pay off that debt once the business is up and running. Anyone interested? I have already earned in excess of 200,000 talents. Talents are EASY to earn, and I try to spend them just as quickly, as I try to stay as close to the zero mark as possible. BUT, if I started selling Talents I can easily stop spending them in order to start paying off the debt.
The most enthusiastic Talent Exchange user!

Understanding Money
Again and again I'm surprised about how little people care about the money system. Money is something so essential and central to our civilisation, yet almost nobody ever makes the effort to find out how it really works. When talking about the money system, I don't mean to talk about budgeting or investments or what we use money for. Of course money can be used for good, and often is. What I mean i… Continue

Book review of "The End of Money and the Future of Civilization", by Thomas Greco
By Thomas H. Greco, Jr
Published by: Chelsea Green Publishing, White River Junction, Vermont, USA (www.chelseagreen.com), 2009. ISBN 978-1-60358-078-6
Thomas Greco is the most radical writer on money today. The very title of the book suggests that the future of civilization depends on abandoning money-as-we-know-it. What could be more radical and revolutionary than that? Yet on readin… Continue

Introducing COGS
COGS stands for Circle of Gifts, and is a complementary currency specifically designed to help local communities re-localise activities. The aim of re-localisation is to provide inhabitants with the possibility of an acceptable quality of life when traditional economic development fails, or their circumstances are against them.
We believe complementary currencies will become more important as energy supplies dwindle and impact the economic growth so essential for inter… Continue
