\"ruby\"What’s the state of caring in the world today? Is it limited to “There’s a weird smell on my floor… could my neighbor be decomposing?”<\/a>? Or are there people out there going the extra mile – or willing to go the extra mile, if they only knew how? How do you care? These are all questions that Ruby’s Bequest<\/a> wants you to answer.<\/p>\n

If you sat on the sidelines for World Without Oil<\/a> and wished you’d gotten in on the game, now’s your chance to jump in on a similar serious game, designed to make a change in how people approach a subject – in this case, caregiving. And although the Baby Boomers get all the press<\/a> as their population gets older, there are more people out there needing caring than just the elderly. Who are they? That’s something we want to find out.<\/p>\n

Dreamed up by Ken Eklund<\/a>, who was also responsible for World Without Oil. this is sure to be just as thoughtful and compelling. There are also a lot of interesting entities behind it: production by Institute for the Future<\/a> and sponsorship by United Cerebral Palsy<\/a> and AARP.<\/p>\n

Plus some names you might have seen before working behind the curtain. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Let’s cut the fake coyness, hmm? It’s really great to be working with Ken again, and getting the team<\/a> back<\/a> together is so comfortable (and as Gupfee mentioned, there are others who haven’t outed themselves yet). There’s some fresh blood in there too.<\/p>\n

If you’re interested, there’s an interview I did with Ken Eklund<\/a> up at the Culture Hacker site.<\/p>\n
