This was an interesting Ted Talk and one that resonated with me. With all the talk about how social media has been exploited to influence elections and modify our behavior, this Ted Talk by Jaron Lanier offers suggestions on how we could change the Internet for the better.
Until next time…

Think about how many things have changed throughout your life. It’s interesting. I retired early to move back home and help out my folks, who are both in their senior years, particularly my Dad who is suffering from Dementia. When I see a VCR player in their basement, I realize how important it is for all of us to remain prepared for change. How many of you still use a VCR or even a DVD player? I realize that DVDs are still going to be with us for a while, but most of us stream our content. My recent laptop has no DVD player, because of this recent change in how we consume content–streaming. Manufacturers are building out laptops for streaming content only. I still have an external DVD drive, which was really cheap (about $29) to play DVDs when I need to, but the trend is that DVDs, CDs, and the like are more than likely on their way out at some point in the future.
Watch this short Ted Talk, which discusses how a tech investor evaluates the founders she may give her capital to. She doesn’t look for IQ or EQ. She looks for AQ. You’ll have to watch this Ted Talk to find out what AQ means.
Until next time…

Enjoy this short video by Matt Cutts. He explains how great it is to do something new each month for 30 days. This is a fun video, and it is also inspiring. Enjoy it. Maybe, just maybe, it’ll inspire you to try something you’ve always wanted to, for just 30 days.
Until next time…

We all had that one teacher that made a difference. In my case, there were a few. Rita Pierson is one of those teachers that treats her job responsibilities seriously and realizes the importance of her role as an educator. For me, my favorite teacher was Mrs. Feick in the 5th grade. She was so innovative. I think I learned more in her class than most of my elementary education combined. Rest in Peace Mrs. Feick.
Do you have a teacher that made learning fun? Did you have a teacher that held you to a higher standard, knowing you could do more? Did you have a teacher that made you feel like you could take on the world? Watch this Ted Talk. It is worth it.
Until next time…

“The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty — it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There’s a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.” ― A Simple Path: Mother Teresa
Today’s Ted Talk highlight’s a woman’s plight leaving a shantytown outside of Nairobi. Jacqueline Novogratz tells this story explaining that poverty is not what we think it is. Enjoy!!
Until next time…
