Last week, a group of us had the distinct pleasure of doing a 2-hour seminar with the delightful Lura Dolas, an acting coach who also trains speakers, business professionals and lawyers how to ‘reassure’ their audiences. Her technique is here…and it was wonderfully gentle and extremely helpful.
At the [...]

I can’t believe that after only 1.5 years, we had enough accumulated junk that it took two strong young movers, Tad, Chris and I eight full-hours of just moving stuff from one house to another - only 15 minutes apart.
I know my blog was down for the weekend, some file overwriting another issue. I [...]

Well, it’s with a heavy heart that I announce that Ben Metcalfe is leaving Citizen Agency. I’m sure you are wondering, “What happened?”
There are really no sordid details.
We were really excited when Ben joined us in the fall and he and Sofia (his wife) have fit into the SF scene incredibly well (where they [...]

This changes EVERYTHING. B-bye limitations. Hello raised expectations.
(Chris said to me as I was jumping up and down with excitement: “Why are we excited about this? It’s the way things were supposed to be all along. It’s about time.”)

Along that same line as Small Is the New Big and the The Long Tail, etc. etc. (drink, drink), and combined a bit with the Trading Up idea, there is a growing phenomenon that is pushing the nichification of markets even further to the edges.
I refer to myself and the people around me who are [...]

What the ‘buzzword brigade’ talks about when they talk about ‘community’:
What communities actually look like (sometimes):
or
or any other number of combinations.
I hear it all of the time. Hours and hours of thought put into creating some sort of fictional ‘community profiles’ and/or snapshots of ‘who they are and what they like’. I take a look [...]

Another year, another Macworld is upon us and it is a screamin’ busy week for those of us in San Francisco.
Chris has listed a comprehensive list of events here, some of them actually taking place at Citizen Space like the uber awesome Net Tuesday, this month all about Open Source, Open Access Library Publishing…basically a [...]

You don’t look a day over 5.
Congrats on another amazing year, hotstuff! If anyone wants to send Chris a birthday message:

He’s an ancient 26 (don’t you just hate that? 26. Accomplished. Smart. Well-respected. And a total nice guy. It ain’t fair, is it?)

Right. So, for the second time in a month, the “Tara Hunt” entry on Wikipedia has been marked for deletion. My notable sources not notable enough. The accusations of Dan Fost’s bias are enough to make me giggle. I do think he is a fan of BarCamp, but me? Not in the way the Wikipedian [...]

[FYI...this is a post of pure love and joy. I don't even know anyone at Zipcar]
I joined Zipcar just over one month ago and I have to say: I loooooove it.
Chris and I choose to live car-free, but there are times when we need wheels (client meetings in the peninsula, big grocery shops, runs to [...]
