Seeing the Dalai Lama speak today at the University of Oregon. This opportunity is making me reminisce about traveling to Tibet in 2008… such an incredible experience.
Had a great time last weekend in Austin, Texas participating in the Global Venture Labs Investment Competition. Go Red Duck Ketchup!

Age and Social Media
I’m currently taking a class (J412/J512) at the University of Oregon’s School of Journalism that focuses on strategic social media. I wrote a post for our class blog that explores the topic of age and its relationship to social media attitudes - you can check it out here: http://prosintraining.com/ssm/2013/01/age-and-social-media/
I started thinking about this topic after I overheard part of a conversation between three women who appeared to be in their mid- to late-60s:
“I don’t understand why people post on Facebook,” one woman said. “There’s this one girl – my friend’s niece, she’s a nice girl, but sometimes posts things twice a day! And sometimes she writes about her religion or church involvement and I don’t think that’s appropriate”.
“I find it’s too time consuming to read everyone’s updates on Facebook. I don’t have time to post anything because it’s too overwhelming,” responded her friend. “And I’m always getting e-mail chain letters”.
If you want people to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
