I wholeheartedly approve of this bar/restaurant game described in Kempt: It works like this: as you arrive, each person places their phone facedown in the center of the table. (If you’re feeling theatrical, you can go for a stack like this one, but it’s not required.) As the meal goes on, you’ll hear various texts and… Continue reading The Phone Stack

DIY: a simply wonderful game
Tis the time of year for sitting around and enjoying one another’s company, but sometimes, conversation gets old. Here’s a little game to liven things up a bit! This game is best described as Pictionary meets Telephone. No materials needed besides some fun friends/family (4+ people), some letter sized blank paper, and a writing utensil… Continue reading DIY: a simply wonderful game

Eleanor Roosevelt, who did so much to advance human rights worldwide, said that these rights… Continue reading

They walked across the Brooklyn Bridge, taking pictures as they went. After getting a bunch of incredible shots and editing, they printed on… Continue reading
Rentrepreneurship
noun. 1) Creatively making quick money by hiring out personal belongings. 2) A contributor to collaborate consumption. 3) A smart business idea. Call me crazy, but this makes a ton of sense. I don’t have the energy to do it personally (yet), but I’m intrigued. It’s a good read regardless. It’s also written by Rob… Continue reading Rentrepreneurship
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!
