Spam can be fun
My friend Kent who I met at the library just began a blog in which he reposts noteworthy spam. I am very much a fan already, as his first post truly captures the beauty of a well-written spam email. A blog like this can transfer the frustration and eye-rolls expressed upon receipt of spam to… Continue reading Spam can be fun
Inviting Submissions for New Blog Title!
If I ever want to blog to scale (which surprise! I do.), I need to shape up. I don’t want to change my content (at least on this blog) because I like the mix of NYC, philanthropy, taxes, humor, snippets of thought, sociology, DIY tips, and photography, but “my masterpiece, v1.0” doesn’t sound as good… Continue reading Inviting Submissions for New Blog Title!
I don’t know much about Disqus

Why Giving Back Makes Cents*
I wrote this for the Back to the Hill blog for Tufts University. But, the thoughts can apply across the private university spectrum. Incoming call. 617-627-5000. Wait! Don’t groan yet! Yes, it might be a robotic sophomore calling to ask for money for Tufts, but give her a chance! Yes, you’re still paying back student loans and trying to… Continue reading Why Giving Back Makes Cents*
Don’t blog to embarrass someone
That’s what my mom told me once, and I’m totally going to respect that here. But events this morning led to several written apologies to me (real letters!) and the question “Do you keep a journal?” I said “no, but I do blog, and thank goodness my mother had advised me that I shouldn’t publicly… Continue reading Don’t blog to embarrass someone
