I’m off to the ballet this afternoon for the first time in awhile, and I realized I don’t know if I’m supposed to dress up, or if it’s weird to bring my binoculars, or generally anything about the show. So, I looked up Lincoln Center FAQs, and here’s what I learned about applause: When do… Continue reading Etiquette: The Ballet

Wow! A $10,000 real life treasure hunt!!
These guys: hid a treasure in NYC and gave clues to find it! And not just ANY treasure…. $10,000! We Lost our Gold uses videos and Twitter to give clues to where the money is hidden, and to get folks out and about in the city. I’m very interested to learn more about how this… Continue reading Wow! A $10,000 real life treasure hunt!!
I hate that this graph is so true, but it is. It’s a model of inefficient business practices that’s strangely hard to change. Wish it weren’t so, because it’s really hard to find a good balance.
Grandma Asked: Why is the Bronx THE Bronx and Brooklyn is just Brooklyn?
The Bronck family was a wealthy family living on many of the Harlem river’s surrounding acres. Jonas Bronck, the family patriarch, was a narcissistic man and wanted to name everything after himself. Thus, around 1639, the river became Bronck’s river.

If there’s anything to be learned from me it’s that I’m learning to celebrate what I was born with, even though it’s sometimes been… Continue reading
Social Media + Philanthropy = (xx OR xy)
A recently published study shows that men and women give differently both in their motivations and in their categories of support. Big surprise that women give more to breast cancer and bullying and men give more to prostate cancer and the Tea Party, and that everyone feels cause fatigue when they’re hit over the head… Continue reading Social Media + Philanthropy = (xx OR xy)
This video fairly well answers the question “So what happened at the library?” A few of my new buddies are in it, too! It doesn’t show all sides of it, of course, but it sets a good foundation for conversation and “getting” the general game structure (as much as it can be generally understood). For… Continue reading
