Here’s a quick poll which asks some very basic questions about the doing of life on May 4, 2020. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

If we want meaningful transparency regarding the use of our personal data, which I assert are the fruits of our labor, maybe we should be thinking differently about how to use the laws of the land. Think about this...

Interesting read on how startups face a tougher environment than previously. That said, any startup founder is well-advised to check out  Hamilton Helmer 's "7 Powers - The Foundation of Business Strategy" to think about how/if they are positioned to escape the "kill zone." …see more

I have a new way of describing my new book -- which is more needed (sadly) than ever. You know the expression: don't leave home without it?

Book pub date in June 19, 2020. …see more

Were you one of the lucky few who snagged a ticket before they sold out in a few hours? If you missed out, Adweek has you covered.

Families: here is a book for children that can be shared because it can be wiped down. It is on indestructible paper. It doesn't rip either! It is a bilingual story of two multi-racial kids playing hide and seek with themselves and with animals. Kids can engage with the characters and play along. Also, it can be read to, with and by kids. There are adult tips too to make the book into activities. It is steeply discounted: $10 per copy. It can be purchased through dwraga@northshire.com , an independent bookstore in VT. It retails for $15. If you want more than 10, there is a wee discount. Order now and read read read and play play play. We See You --- Te Vemos. …see more

Have you struggled to find apps you're looking for in the App Store before? A new deep-dive from the New York Times explains why that may have happened.

Look at Wrinkles story. Read it to kids or with kids or have it read by kids. (There is a podcast too). Then write Wrinkles a letter to help him handle social distancing. His email: WrinklesGetsIt@yahoo.com . Send drawings too!!!!

A great idea for retailers to combat the retail implosion is to 'create the experience.' Something online stores can't offer.

Wrinkles wants you to read his story on social distancing. He’s a dog by the by — a basset hound. He’ll help kids and you can email him too! wrinklesGetsIt@yahoo.com

Legally speaking, this is a heavy lift. But we need new language to describe what is actually happening in the transition from the Information Age to what we’re going to call the Age of Machine Intelligence. Think about this...

In honor of the holidays – and the beginning of ski season – I decided to cut the cord, cancel my Comcast cable package, and go internet-only in VT. There are some lessons learned – some serious, some not so much.

Ponder this piece and the lessons for kids from last night's game between Cavs and Warriors. Everyone shouted mismatch.  Ha.

What do you do to protect your projects? How diligent are you about backup and disaster recovery? We had a team meeting over the weekend when QSNATCH hit our radar. Our plan is in place. I hope yours is too. Think about this...

I think this will be a useful series for both teachers and administrators..... sign up and luckily, book will be available to be read as part of the series. In the meanwhile, stay safe and be well.

This Sunday we’re going to discuss personal contact management, as well as business CRM. Have your questions ready, and get your login credentials here.

Help kids. Get them this resource. Use your networks. Reach teachers of your own kids. Reach organizations. Reach out far and wide and deep. Our kids need to process what is happening in our world. Thanks and stay safe and be well.
