The Agony of Resurrection

Spring, a time of renewal in the Northern Hemisphere, is bringing about one of the more poignant changes of seasons that we’ve collectively experienced. It’s also a time of resurrection for many people of faith. That’s most literal with Easter, the holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. Around the same time every year, Jews […]

If You Don’t Know, You Know

I keep deleting the opening line to this newsletter but am letting this one stand. I have to start somewhere, even when I am writing about what I don’t know — what we don’t know. What we don’t know is the most basic truth: how so many people we care about are doing. I had […]

Curated Serendipity

Last week, I was on a call Mark Burrell, the co-founder of parenting platform Weldon who I got to know when he was co-founder of crowdsourcing marketplace Tongal. We were talking about community (shocking), and he mentioned how some of the best value of networking through communities comes from serendipity. This was particularly true of events like South […]

Find. Your. Club.

Are you on Clubhouse? Are you on there all the time? Did you try it and leave the club? Are you looking for an invite? (More on that in a minute.) Here’s what I can tell you about your answer to any of those questions: It doesn’t matter. Well, you matter to me. I care […]

Showing Up

The year was 1999. That fall, Binghamton University distributed t-shirts to seniors like me saying, “Class of 2000: Leaders of the New Millennium.” Given that the new millennium wouldn’t start until the year after we graduated, this specious claim should have been rephrased as “Class of 2000: Death Knell of the Millennium That Brought You […]

Views of Staten Island Devastation and Cleanup Post-Sandy

I'll have a few more Sandy-related posts and hope to keep this as an ongoing post here, given how a lot of my broader neighbors in New York (plus many others in New Jersey) will have a much harder road ahead. I spent Sunday in Staten Island with a delegation from NYC&39;s City Council, taking […]

Celebrate My Birthday by Feeding Thousands of People in Need

I don't believe I&39;ve ever referenced my birthday here on this blog during my birthday proper, but this year I&39;m trying something a little different.  Last year, in thanks to the hundreds of birthday well wishers on Facebook and elsewhere, I expressed my gratitude by making a donation to the Food Bank of New York […]

Some Mobile Commons Text-to-Give Short Codes to Help Haiti

Word is out about the State Department mobile code where you can text 90999 to donate $10 to the Red Cross, but a friend just sent over these codes from Mobile Commons. You might want to try these if you’re already a supporter of one of the causes below: • Text HABITAT to 25383 to […]

Join the Marketers Studio Challenge on DonorsChoose.org

  Once again, October brings another DonorsChoose.org challenge. Here's the gist: teachers post projects they need funding for, and donors choose the projects they want to fund. In what&39;s now a great annual tradition, bloggers team up (I&39;m with other NY Tech Bloggers) to raise awareness for some projects that mean something to them and […]

Redefining Christmas with Charitable Giving

I just got wind of the microsite Redefine Christmas, which promotes charitable gifts for the holidays rather than the kind that you desperately try to regift to someone else. The site’s a wrapper, not the present. I wish there was more you could do on it. Even the links to share info through social media […]
