Are you a non-profit, not-for-profit, charity, community organization or cause that desires more exposure, new outreach ideas and more networking opportunities? You may or may not be aware of so-called social media, where you have the opportunity to make your voice heard, reach new people, and learn from a larger community. One such social media…
My wife Jennifer (who I really should have write the beginning of this post, at least) returned this week from a few days’ vacation in Baltimore, with our son Ian. Aside from the delicious blue crabs, her life-changing hot & spicy chocolate gelato, and the totally satisfying U2 Imax movie, she was most vocal about…
Thanks again to the good folks over at Very Short List for opening my eyes to some great material. They’ve pointed out an interactive feature by, of all people, the New York Times. Not surprising for anyone who has already enjoyed their site, all the free content, but also the nice streamlined interactive featurettes frequently…
Ben Terret over @ Noisy Decent Graphics, whose blog I authentically stumbled upon (versus finding it with the Stumble button in the Firefox StumbleUpon plugin) recently featured this sweet little find – a wine label with a perforated, tear-off stub to help you remember your recent jollification… or at least what wine you drank that…

I get emails [forwarded to me] all the time from my dad about the “good old days” and “old-fashioned values,” about the price of bread in the 50′s and how one wouldn’t dare be anything but fully compliant with authority figures, from pointer-wielding schoolmarm to uniformed milkman. And with no television to hypnotize us (let…
Via PSFK, and ultimately Smith magazine, I came across the Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure concept and book. Though I’ve not yet read the book, the teaser video (see below) is simple and nicely made, and was inspiring enough to get me thinking about poetic brevity. The…
Wow, what a book. Now there are many reviews out there that surely are more analytical than mine (I should read them then), so I’m not going to review it, per se. If you’re unfamiliar with the author, like I was before I’d decided to read it, he’s the author of No Country for Old…
