February 27, 2009 by Amy Jussel 14 Comments

Feb. 27, 2009 Not sure how many kids will tune into a :30 TV spot created by Academy Award-winning directors Joel and Ethan Coen doing a riff on Air Fresheners to “come clean about dirty coal,” but it’s sure easy for kids to ‘get it’ that there's an elephant in the living room.

February 4, 2009 by Amy Jussel 5 Comments

Feb. 4, 2009 Sick of Sunday's Superbowl banter and hackneyed sports phrases yet? One more quick one: 16-year old Daniel Brusilovsky didn’t fumble at the Teens in Tech Conference the day prior.

Jan. 28, 2009 The She’s Geeky and Teens in Tech Conferences coming up this weekend have me thinking about all of the underrepresented DigiGirlz out there and the impact of media and marketing on both genders in terms of career paths and children’s choices.

When I first spied the Obamicon look-alike on Joe Jaffe’s blog loooong ago, I shrugged it off, “meh, just digerati doin’ their thing with far more graphic firepower and skill sets than I have…” Then they … [Read more...]
