June 4, 2009 In Part Two of my interview on The Girl Revolution, we got into the 'Secret Life of the American Teenager' media portrayal of a 15-year old 'band geek' and I realized I never got around to posting my extensive ISIS conference data and teen vs. parent point of view on that series finale... I definitely need to uncork that discussion and continue this last one, as … [Read more...]

It all came about when a student from Philadelphia in Professor … [Read more...]

Kids calling for a pizza can pop an extra $1.50 or two onto the cell phone bill without even realizing mounting mobile charges for directory assistance, so 1-800-GOOG-411 became my new best friend, smack dab on my mobile screen’s top … [Read more...]

May 31, 2009 by Amy Jussel 6 Comments

May 31, 2009 I know our friends at HopeLab have been active on Twitter and their own Facebook group and use SlideShare and all that, but as I’ve said many a time, microblogging and 140 character sound bites don’t quite get into the ‘deep dive’ I’m seeking when it comes to solutions-based thinking. Richard Tate has just announced HopeLab’s new “Sticky Notes” blog which will … [Read more...]
