      Hi Spike,<br>
      <br>
      Yea, I've done exactly that - visited some nursing homes,
      including ones for loss of mind/memory.  It's almost as painful
      for me, even though I know they aren't in as much pain, as going
      to a  major hospital's burn unit.  And, just as you say, so much
      more could be done for them with technology.  I've also recently
      started volunteering with Meals on Wheels - and I'm getting to
      know some of the people we deliver to - regularly, so am looking
      forward to asking them if they are interested in anything like
      this.<br>
      <br>
      As with most things, it all comes down to time.  Trying to provide
      an income for my family, and working on the startup Canonizer.com,
      doesn't seem to leave much time for such.<br>
      <br>
      I'm sure if we could find a group of people interested in helping
      older people in one location or one particular nursing home, which
      would be able to help with some of the busy / training / support
      work, with our direction, that could go a long way.  And it'd help
      if we could find a nursing home which already had at leas some
      computers available for residents to use.<br>
      <br>
      There are lots of people in the Mormon church that volunteer at
      old folks homes.  I'm sure if we could find enough of these kind
      of people, at least in a single prototype location, we could get
      something started.<br>
      <br>
      Maybe we should get a kickstarter.com project going.  I bet lots
      of people would be willing to pay lots of funds to get a few seed
      / test old folks homes started, to see if we could make something
      like this work?  If lots of people were willing to help a bit,
      that would sure make things easier / doable.<br>

            cases won’t even ask why you are there.  Look at it for
            yourself.  Do it.  Surely some of the same ideas will occur
            to you as I have had: we could rig up some kind of tech
            related to those games the kids have which can take input

            rig it up somehow with Second Life or one of the others,
            make it into a fun game that doesn’t require the patients
            study anything.  All they need to do is look this way or
            that.  We could use those Wii controllers, the various
            gaming technologies and so on, make it one HELL of a lot
            more fun to be old and locked in, for DO LET ME ASSURE YOU
            my young friends, right not it sure looks like NO FUN to me,
            and furthermore, if we had all this cool stuff, we could
            probably keep the patients in their own home longer, and the

            Hi Spike,<br>
            <br>
            Working on projects for nursing home geezers!?  Tell me more
            about this project, sounds very fascinating!<br>
            I'm also thinking along these lines with Canonizer.com. 
            When you think about moral wisdom, and how best to live
            one's life, who knows better than old geezers?  If we could
            get all of these retired folks to spend time 'canonizing'
            things like the best moral behavior, and so on, amplifying
            everyone's moral wisdom, the old retired people could help
            us have a concise and quantitative moral reference far
            better than what we now have with Wikipedia, (to say nothing
            of the primitive biblical morality - so many of us are stuck
            in the mud with now) I think.  It's such a waste that we
            aren't better at learning from all these wise and
            experienced people, in assisted living homes and so on, and
            us completely ignoring and loosing all they've learned when
            they die.<br>
            <br>
            Imagine being able to select your own experts (via selecting
            your preferred canonizing algorithm), and knowing, concisely
            and quantitatively, what kind of moral information these
            very experienced chosen people all understand.  Dang, I so
            wish I had some way to learn and benefit, concisely and
            quantitatively, from all their experiences.<br>
            <br>
