You Got The Fever? I Got The Curator.
Day 226 I never thought of this as a philanthropy buzzword, but noted blogger Lucy Bernholz says it is: Curator. She cited the TED and TEDx conferences among others that have curators. That word used to refer to people who worked in museums and art galleries. I’ve known several curators and guest curators, and their jobs involved [...]

Day 156 Real life is where the action is, and you can’t put a price on personal contact. Oh, wait, you can. At the Personal Democracy Forum 2010 conference in New York City, one woman stood up after the Philanthropy 2.0 breakout session and said, “Well, now I know the truth.” Wanjiru Kamau-Rutenberg was attending as a Google Fellow, and [...]

Day 148 How important is it to you that somebody gets your little jokes? Depending on your knowledge of trivia, you might catch one of my little private chuckles here and there. Some people who read what I write are very quick to pick up on an obscure cultural allusion or a toothache-inducing play on words. Different [...]
Full StoryDon’t Tweet, Don’t Tell
Day 98 The occasion was an invitation-only event, and I had my BlackBerry out to live-tweet some of the day’s speakers. But I had begun taking handwritten notes in a hard-cover blank book, a recent gift. I was using a mechanical pencil with a satisfying feel. I decided it would be more pleasurable to continue using paper-and-pencil technology, [...]

Day 75 During my sabbatical I am looking for sources of delight, and I can always count on Maria Popova to provide a plethora. I can’t remember how or where I first heard of her. Maybe it was Twitter , maybe it was through her creation called TEDify in which she does a mashup of TED Talks. [...]

Day 58 Back on Day 14, I mentioned that my coach, Renee Freedman, does not promise to get back to people immediately. She lets her correspondents and callers know that she will respond within two business days. I have been known for Instant Response, but I gave that up during sabbatical year. And maybe forever. Thanks [...]

Long time no post. Rather than taking the time to carefully craft sentences for this format, I have been Tweeting away, 140 characters at a time. Perhaps you’ve seen me sailing along in the Twitstream where I’ve been posting without pressure, but not without daily thoughts about this site. Blogger Lisa Barone (Outspoken Media, subscribe [...]
Full StoryI’m Such A Twit
Starring now in the Short Attention Span Theater, yours truly. I confess that I fell into the Twitter trap. It’s just so easy to post in 140-character increments that I temporarily abandoned the more labor-intensive and time-consuming process of posting here. As I wrote to Diana DiMenna (more about her in a later post), “I’ve [...]

It’s a blur. I filled an entire Reporter’s Notebook. TED2009 (www.ted.com) is a feast for the mind, the heart, the soul. I say “is,” even though it would appear to be over, because the conference lives on via the TED Talks that are posted online. Confession: Elizabeth Gilbert’s bestselling Eat Pray Love did not engender [...]
