  Our Many New Phones We have really messed ourselves up, haven’t we? It used to be that we could expect correspondence from two (at most three) ways: phone, mail, face to face. Look at us now. Have we really improved the world? I woke up this morning and realized that I now check the following: Email (3 accounts) Facebook [...]

  Blogs as Attraction Engines I’m sitting at a camp table with Megin Hatch, who’s talking about her passion for Ethiopia and her plans around it. She had it in her head for a while when she stumbled across Lobsters in the Rough, which came to her from a serendipitous tweet. These things all connected when maybe they shouldn’t have, [...]

  With Just a Little Planning You’re reading this on July 12th, but I wrote it back on July 4th, at a quiet moment during our family vacation (right before breakfast). In fact, I’ve had my posts ready about 9 days in advance for quite a while. Sometimes, I write something that’s timely or I change the order of things, but [...]

  Craig Newmark’s Friends I like Craig Newmark. I might even think of myself loosely as one of Craig’s friends. So, evidently, because I like Craig, I should also like the following people: Wow. Now that’s some company you keep, Craig. : ) What does Facebook really mean by that?

  Flirting With Faith – Video Book Review Books about people finding faith can be either annoying or compelling. I’ve rarely found a middle ground with such things. Joan Ball’s Flirting with Faith: My Spiritual Journey from Atheism to a Faith-Filled Life (amazon affiliate link) is the latter. It was a great story of an imperfect person finding a strange-but-compelling link to her [...]

  Typing Classes I’m thinking about skills and how important some skills are for the rest of our lives. In the summer of my eighth grade year, my parents sent me to typing school. We were going to get our first Macintosh computer (*the* first Macintosh), and my folks had the foresight to say that they wanted me [...]

  Games and Fun I saw this Jane McGonigal video on TED the other day for the second time, and have been thinking about it ever since: can games make the world better? Forget the rest of my blog post and just watch this. Ask yourself whether or not you could make more fun and more games out of [...]

  Video is SO Powerful as a Motivator Julien shows me new things all the time. In a recent post, he talked about MovNat as something to go along with the Paleo diet (something I’m on, also thanks to Julien). In checking out the website, I had an interesting realization: as much as I wanted to learn about the ideas inherent in what [...]

  The Future is in Doncaster I spent some time in Doncaster in the United Kingdom with the legendary Rob Wilmot. What I saw was a bunch of people who had a great sense of what all this social media stuff would be able to accomplish for business, for education, for the community at large. It’s the best kind of story, [...]

  Trying out ExpertFlyer As part of my exploration of potential sponsor relationships for Man on the Go, I ran into a site I’d never seen before called ExpertFlyer.com (affiliate link). The main landing page didn’t exactly wow me, but this page gave me a sense of what it does, which is give all kinds of details for navigating [...]
