I was recently browsing GreenPeace's “Get Involved” menu and saw a link to an action called “Whale Mail.” My first thought was “That's absolutely brilliant!” I envisioned “Whale Mail” as GreenPeace's way of providing email to its users. I figured Greenpeace was giving all of their members an email address that ended in “@whalemail.org” The reason I thought this was a brilliant move on

I recently arrived in Vancouver (from San Francisco) to visit my girlfriend for a bit. Because I'm a US citizen, I had to go through customs and get questioned by a customs agent. Here is a snippet of the dialogue ... CUSTOMS AGENTWhat do you do in San Francisco? MEI'm a marketing consultant for a few web 2.0 start-ups. CUSTOMS AGENTWhat are you doing in Vancouver?

She'd then pull on it in

I am so sorry for not having kept this blog up-to-date throughout the workshop. It was really my intention to share my experiences as they were happening. The class, though, it just took off like crazy somewhere in the second week when we started building masks and working on turns and this left little of the time I find I need when it comes to lining up words properly.That and I got really

The last week has been full of exercises that are wonderful, intense, and just about impossible to explain without leaving the impression that all we do is spend each day being hypnotized - whether by Sue or by each other. I'd say it all started when, last Wednesday we did an exercise called "Creator & Masterpiece", which Sue actually introduced by saying she didn't know how or why it worked it

Working today in the first class was kind of like blending being in a Chuck Palahniuk novel (i.e. - Fight Club), listening to a motivational speaker who also happens to be a psychic, doing a warm-up with a dominatrix, joining a new religion, taking a yoga class, experiencing really intense group therapy and through it all learning a whole lot about what it means to be a modern clown. The class
