Show Me the Money! Using Your Capital To Save The World At This Year’s SOCAP Conference

The following is a cross-post of Julia Moulden's original article at the Huffington Post on August 30, 2009.

Have you ever flown somewhere and, out of the blue, the captain makes an announcement that you're about to pass over, say, the Grand Canyon, and adds that people on the right side of the aircraft will have a great view? And then everyone from the left side leaps out of their seats and rushes over? And have you ever wondered if the pilots are compensating for that so that the plane doesn't tip over?

That image came into my head as I was thinking about San Francisco. Hundreds of people are heading there this week, and millions of others will be there in spirit - and online. If the Earth tips a little bit on its axis, you'll know why.
