 Focus on solving the problem, not on being deliberately creative. If you effectively solve the problem, creativity is naturally leveraged as part of finding a great solution. - Jim Zondag [more] |

"Seems everyone should have a computer, right? When Jacob was only nine, he realized many of his classmates couldn't afford a home computer. With Computers for Communities, Inc., he teaches prison inmates how to refurbish donated computers for families in need. His program helps both young and old gain the basic computer skills they need to succeed." - The Bag

To learn more about Jacob's program, go here
On a side note Doritos bags don't like being photographed.

I got one of these today. I thought, "Hey, I know that guy!" Then I remembered this thread.
I wonder how many there are of any individual, and how many different people have been honored?

These have been printing for MONTHS.... Something like half-a-billion bags total with my face on it....
Just think, my face fills landfills 
That reminds me.... The other day I was going into the hospital for Physical Therapy, and when I got to the outpatient desk, the woman asked me for ID. I reached into my pocket, and I realized I left my wallet at home. Panicking, I look over to the gift shop, where I see some bags of Nacho Cheese Doritos®. I picked one up with my face on it, walked over to the desk, and the woman laughed and gave me my ID sticker...

Help keep Jacob out of landfills. Come up with something good to do with left-over Dorito bags.

I've been kind of looking at a small clutch (that's a purse, people) for a while.

I've flown a few times this year & connected in multuiple airports, & they all required ID.*
It's not to check the ID per-say, but to verify you match your ticket which has all your info attached through it by a paper trail.
*The full 360 degree scanning machine (re: not metal detector) I walked through was cool as well, but that's another subject.

Jacob, congrats on this!
I spent 3 years working as a "descriptive analyst" aka-taste tester-for a huge corporation that makes spices, smells, and develops new products, often for other big companies or restaurants. On two of the days in my work week I worked on quality control for ingredients used for popular snack foods (cheeses, other dairy, spices). These ingredients then were added to a triangular chip product.
Sound familiar?

I forgot this in my last post. Nice work Jacob. Sounds like a great win-win program. Are the prisoners getting some sort of certification as a computer tech in the process?
