My friend Hugh Vandivier is a community activist, he’s an advocate of the arts and he’s a culture strategist. In a spontaneous conversation in our local coffee shop, Hubbard & Cravens, he encapsulated what community means to him. 1. It happens around common interests. 2. It’s made of three types of people. - People that makes things happen. - People that know what’s happening. - People that wonder what happened. 3.

It’s been an interesting couple of weeks. You know how I made a big to-do about writing for BNET ? Well, that’s over. But quite recently, I was also asked to join the Socialbrite team as a contributing author and “expert.&#. Neither of these are (were) paid gigs.

Always remember: it's not about the technology. It's about access. People worry too much about the technology. Forget about the technology (sorry to those of you in IT).

Back in my English major heyday, I was reading 36 books a semester from various authors. While some could captivate you, others well they could not and were quickly tuned out. Fast forward nearly a decade since that last college class. I still find myself reading a lot from blogs and eBooks to soft and hard cover, mostly of the business variety. Unfortunately the authors I read today often miss that “it” that I loved reading in college.

The recent documentary Waiting for Superman paints a bleak picture of the US education system that is falling behind other developed countries and failing to provide the high skilled workers that are needed to drive innovation and compete with the rest of the world. According to the film, by 2020, 123 million US jobs will be high skill, high pay, but only 50 million Americans will be qualified to fill them.
