Tonight I’ll be dancing for Obama at Union Pool in Williamburg (Google Map).

I did a short fly-through of the new virtual world "Forbidden City: Beyond Space and Time" created by IBM and the Palace Museum of China.   The goal of the project is "to provide the means for a world-wide audience to celebrate and explore aspects of Chinese culture and history" through doing a virtual tour of…

What’s for dinner: chicken mole, collards, and acorn squash

Posted on October 15, 2008 by

I will be the first to admit that I am not a good cook.  I don’t plan well, get frustrated by recipes with more than four ingredients, and don’t have the patience for dishes that take more than 30 minutes to prepare. That said, I nailed tonight’s dinner: chicken breast with coconut mole sauce (from…

A chart of the entire Second Life Community (ok, not really)

Posted on October 15, 2008 by

I swear this is the last bubbl.us chart you are going to see from me for awhile. But I couldn’t resist creating an organizational chart of the Second Life Community as I see it.  The turquoise bubbles are the main blocs of actors, under each are sub-divisions, and at the bottom of the heirarchy are…

Five Digital Media & Telecom policy challenges for the next US President

Posted on October 15, 2008 by

In just a few short weeks, Americans are going to the polls to select the next President of the United States.  At Global Kids we’re pretty obsessed with following the elections, staff members shouting out news, debating, joking, and sharing links all during the work day.  It’s to be expected from an organization that is…

“Stuff I’m Into” as organizational chart

Posted on October 14, 2008 by

I was playing around with the bubbl.us’s cool web chart creation tool and decided to map all the stuff I was "into."  No wonder I’m so scattered at times.  It’s a wonder that I can plan my day at all. Click on the image for a larger version.

Global Kids Organizational Chart using bubbl.us

Posted on October 14, 2008 by

DK at Mediasnackers.com a couple of weeks ago turned me on to a neat web-based brainstorming visualization tool called bubbl.us that I finally got a chance to check out this morning.  Looks like a sweet way of quickly showing the connections and relationships between various actors, whether they be a coalition of non-profits or  staff…

“Ballerina Who Loves B-Boy” review

Posted on October 13, 2008 by

Tonight I was super-excited to see "Ballerina Who Loves B-boy," a Korean dance show featuring Extreme Crew, the winners of the 2007 Battle of the Year breakdance competition in Germany. I saw some of the sickest b-boying I’ve ever seen in person, bar none.  That alone was worth the price of admission. The Korean crews…
