This morning, I chatted with Bianca Peters and Kerry Drew on Fox 5 New York’s Good Day on best practices tech tips and techniques for people that are starting to work from home.

I suggested that there might be a need for an invitation-only, highly curated, viciously monitored social network with subject matter restricted to business, tech, culture, and innovation. The response has been overwhelming. Here’s a list of some of the common themes and feature requests. …see more

Samsung has officially announced its new flagship smartphones: the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 Plus, and Galaxy S20 Ultra. I want to call your attention to two features that I really love: Single Take and Space Zoom.

During a May Day demonstration in Berlin, a German artist named Simon Weckert noticed that Google Maps showed a massive traffic jam on a street that had no cars on it. He got an idea that tricked Google Maps into believing that the empty street was experiencing a traffic jam. Think about this... …see more

While I was out at a meeting, my meticulously neat wife armed herself with a feather duster, donned protective pink rubber gloves, and viciously, mercilessly straightened, organized, and dusted the desk in my home office. My desk was clean, but the results were suboptimal. Think about this... …see more

Our free press is not free. It is a for-profit, competitive marketplace and the competitors are highly incentivized to make editorial choices that give them the best chance of commercial success. This misalignment of incentives and outcomes is immutable. Think about this... …see more

Final update on my contretemps with my alma mater Smith. I’m treating the college as if she were my mother (mater), hoping she’d change her ways and listen. Hopeless for Smith and my mother. I give up. They just don’t get the issues I raise; they are unresponsive; they make promises but can’t deliver. They fail to work openly on student psychosocial needs post COVID. The Smith president focuses on new library (looks lovely ) and a new Culture of Care (w/o attention to impact of COVID on psyche of students). With a well regarded School of Social Work, Smith should know better. The president has never seen fit to contact me (I am a former college President after all and not uneducated!). Ironic that Smith has never had one of its own as president, only Seven Sister with that distinction. Decades ago I was pushed by alums to apply for Smith presidency when Ruth Simmons went to Brown. I got a call from a headhunter, not Smith’s, after another person was chosen. She said “I know 2 things about you. You have a non-traditional resume for a college president and you made it further than any Smithie in history of Smith.” Guess Smithies aren’t good enough for their alma mater, like some daughters aren’t good enough for their mothers. Need to know when to call it a day. …see more

Perhaps someone can explain Amazon pricing to me. I have a new book on trauma. It’s cover is below. Sadly, it is a book that is needed now, particularly as we reflect on reopening schools and colleges, all of which should at least aim to be trauma responsive. Amazon is selling the book at way over retail for paperback today and yesterday. That takes book out of reach for some. Amazon’s price today: $42.83! Yipes. Teachers College Press: $34.95. What’s up with this? I want educators and social workers to be able to buy the book. And, so you know, Press offers discounts for bulk and group sales and for events I do. Brava to the Press. Come on Amazon, right price the book please. PS. Amazon just lowered price down to retail!!!! Hurry and buy....was it because they heard me. Doubt it. …see more
