Urban Itinerant

I've decided to put my money where my mouth is and try out some new technology at the same time. I'm currently in the process of using some inexpensive web technology to attempt to create a web community for urbanites and urban adventurers with a social venture bent.

UrbanItinerant.com is the home of the community and it brings together the technologies of pbwiki, ning, blogger, and cafepress to create a site that will hopefully act as a forum and gathering place for urban dwellers who see the world a little differently than those around them. As we like to say, Urban Itinerant is for those with a big woods sense of adventure in the urban jungle.

The targeted groups include urban adventurers, outdoor lovers, eco-mavens, travellers, traditional urban dwellers, and the sustainability-minded in an attempt foster discussion regarding urban adventure and responsible city living along with sharing tips, organizing gatherings, getting behind causes, and anything else that might arise. On top of it all, one of the main goals of the site is to give a little something back to the community through the power of these like-minded groups. Urban Itinerant will begin selling merchandise designed for the adventurous urbanite and a portion of the generated profits will go to organizations that benefit the urban comunities and environment that we love so much. So please take the time to visit and look around, maybe something there will hit home with you.
