One of last month's issues of the Economist featured a cover story was heavy handed against corporate social responsibility. I felt the articles were not at the usual Economist level of analysis, and came across as more a negative editorial than impartial articles. I spotted a link to the letters generated as a result, and they are from a strong group of people making good counter-arguments.
Sarah's work. For over a decade my wife and I have been taking our neice Sarah to the Baltimore Crafts Fair the last week of February each year. Since she was a child she would tell us she would be exhibiting there someday. And this year, indeed she was - and getting a lot of attention for her delicate, precise yet romantic, gold and silver work. See more of her work on her website.
I am already starting to plan my spring trips. One place I will definitely be going is the Sixth National Gathering of the Social Enterprise Alliance. This is the grassroots conference for social enterprisers: the people who run mission-supporting businesses inside their nonprofit organizations. Last year was a blast, and I am looking forward to this one!
My last Davos Diary piece for BBC News was published this week, 'Meetings of Minds'. This was fun to write, and this Davos was incredible. Here's the text of my article: My good friend from India, Joe Madiath, bumps into another man at a Davos party thrown by the Egyptians. They say hi and shake hands. Joe exclaims: "You know something? You look a lot like Al Gore.".
Speaker: Tim Sarrantonio, Director of Corporate Brand
Do you really know your donors? Not just what they give, but who they are? 👥 In this interactive session, we’ll break down how nonprofits can use behavioral indicators (affinity, recency, frequency, and monetary value) to build prospecting segments that go beyond wealth screening and actually align with donor identity. You’ll walk away with practical strategies to move beyond basic demographics and cultivate supporters based on how they already engage with you!
Stoneware piece by Joe Christensen. Here is our new baby! Joe makes these things by working at two wheels at once. On one he throws sections of the pot, on the other he assembles them. He then does a soda-ash firing.
I just don't get it with the creators of so-called "fact-based" cinema pieces who lead us to believe they are granting us a glimpse into the lives of people of some historical importance, but in fact feel free to alter events in any way they feel helps make a better story. The movie that's got me bugged this morning is Finding Neverland, in which Johnny Depp portrays J.

Among the most irritating issues in web development are problems that seem to occur only on one version of one browser. If we're working on a site for organization's intranet, no problem - that guy needs to upgrade to the supported browser, even if he really does believe that the 1999 version of Bohemian is still the best browser around. But if you are building a site targeting a broad consumer audience, you may really need to test on some unusual or obsolete client.
If you're like me you read Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm in school. And that's all your know of this guy. The other day I picked up his 1936 novel "Keep the Apidistra Flying". I'd never heard of it, but it had a "Staff Recommendation" flag flying from it in our local bookshop. It's a comic tale, it's light and goes down easy, but it deals with an issue close to all our hearts: money.
Whenever we sit down to talk to a potential new client, they want to make sure we've handled a job as big as theirs before. It goes without saying, their project is big. Complex. Mission Critical. "What's the biggest project you've tackled?" they ask. How to answer? With what yardstick, on what scale do we measure our projects? Its not always easy to answer - one project may seem huge in one dimension - but ask another question, and its very simple and straightforward.
Well, here's a trend that is just starting to break over the horizion - using RSS feeds to provide audio content. Well, its new to me , and probably to most of you, but a quick survey of the web shows me that there are already a surprising number of podcasts buzzing in cyberspace. Everone seems to be talking about the Dawn and Drew Show, for example: a married couple broadca -- oops, podcasting from their 1895 farmhouse in Wisconsin.
Payroll compliance is a cornerstone of business success, yet for small and midsize businesses, it’s becoming increasingly challenging to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of federal, state, and local regulations. Mistakes can lead to costly penalties and operational disruptions, making it essential to adopt advanced solutions that ensure accuracy and efficiency.
In an earlier post, I mentioned that a drawback of gmail was that it did not support the sending of html emails, although it can display html or RTF content. Well, here is a little tool that allows you to compose in html. What is doing is just displaying a currently concealed capability already in the gmail compose page. No wysiwyg yet, but its a start.
And now for something completely different. Ken Waldman , "Alaskas' Fiddling Poet", dropped by our house last night and performed for a small group of friends. As the Jefferson Airplane used to sing, he's "doing things that haven't got a name yet", combining traditional Amercian fiddle styles with his own poetry and sense of humor about himself, his art, and the entire trandition of American stringband music.
Well, no sooner do I launch my blog by waxing enthusiaistic about the family of Google products than Microsoft, never one to cede any market to anyone, debuts its search engine. We'd have said ho-hum, but our friend Max Blumberg sees it differently: Google ought to be nervous, not because Microsoft's search technology is superior in any way, but because Gates' pride is at stake having personally endorsed it - and no one on the planet has deeper pockets than the Microsoft chairman when it comes t
