"Gen M is about passion, responsibility, authenticity, and challenging yesterday’s way of..."

“

Gen M is about passion, responsibility, authenticity, and challenging yesterday’s way of everything. Everywhere I look, I see an explosion of Gen M businesses, NGOs, open-source communities, local initiatives, government. Who’s Gen M? Obama, kind of. Larry and Sergey. The Threadless, Etsy, and Flickr guys. Ev, Biz and the Twitter crew. Tehran 2.0. The folks at Kiva, Talking Points Memo, and FindtheFarmer. Shigeru Miyamoto, Steve Jobs, Muhammad Yunus, and Jeff Sachs are like the grandpas of Gen M. There are tons where these innovators came from.

Gen M isn’t just kind of awesome — it’s vitally necessary. If you think the “M”s sound idealistic, think again.

The great crisis isn’t going away, changing, or “morphing.” It’s the same old crisis — and it’s growing.

i always wondered who lived in that apartment — Tea & Sympathy remains one of my very special New York memories. it’s also the first (and certainly not last) place Suki beat me in Scrabble.

Haha. I definitely tweeted when my apartment building was on fire yesterday. Opps… did not follow the rules.

too many instructions to read during an emergency, methinks.

"People will pay for content if it is so unique they can’t get it anywhere else, so fast they..."

“

People will pay for content if it is so unique they can’t get it anywhere else, so fast they benefit from getting it before anyone else, or so related to their tribe that paying for it brings them closer to other people. We’ll always be willing to pay for souvenirs of news, as well, things to go on a shelf or badges of honor to share.

People will not pay for by-the-book rewrites of news that belongs to all of us. People will not pay for yesterday’s news, driven to our house, delivered a day late, static, without connection or comments or relevance. Why should we? A good book review on Amazon is more reliable and easier to find than a paid-for professional review that used to run in your local newspaper, isn’t it?

Like all dying industries, the old perfect businesses will whine, criticize, demonize and most of all, lobby for relief. It won’t work. The big reason is simple:

In a world of free, everyone can play.

“I know I talked big about seasonal produce but I don’t know what to tell you. Sometimes I’m down for eating local, and other times I’m into eating, in a foul, foul way. So why not combine so much of what I was born to love into a dish that is born to make me hate myself.”

this is Archie.

Greg surprised me with him the night i arrived in the UK, half as a joke and half in an attempt to appease my yearning for a real schnauzer puppy.

in either case, i quite adore him.

this morning i got a massive “meet our new baby” email from a distant acquaintance, who i haven’t seen in over five years. i was annoyed by the lack of BCC ability of this email (or maybe it was my lack of patience due to jetlag. we may never know).

Tip told me you can create your own cards on someecards now, so i did, and since sending it was out of the question, blogging it was the next best thing.

jgh:

In london - Lauren and I jet-lag slept until 1 PM. Yesterday was packed to the gills with stuff, so I guess we deserve a break.

This afternoon we want to hit up the Tower of London, the Globe, (I want to hit up) the Tate Modern, and Lauren is DYING to do the London Eye. (It’s the perfect storm of her interest in engineering and How Stuff Works and her kid enthusiasm of “OMG GIANT FERRIS WHEEL.”)

Lauren’s dad is staying at the hotel to catch up on some work remotely, so it’s just me, her, and London. :)

i’m leaving today - and wish i wasn’t. the southbank day you’re talking about is what my boyfriend planned for me on my birthday and it was fantastic.

enjoy your time, and make sure you hit up Selfridges - there’s a HUGE sale on now.

t-minus 1 day...

question: is there anything i simply MUST do while i’m in the UK?
