Frosty mornings

A review of things that caught my eye this week:

  • In #Occupy news, three articles of note: The Good (an #Occupy Wall Street Open Space), The Bad (an #Occupy LA arrest and torture) and The Ugly (Republican messaging regarding #Occupy).
  • And The Helpful.  A story about the choices cities make in dealing with #Occupy camps
  • And in related news, a beautiful story about Pancho Ramos Stierle and his commitment to generosity.
  • Two fantastic TED talks: Louie Schwartzberg on Gratitude and Luis von Ahn on how to make good use of useless tasks.
  • MIT reports that improvisation may be the key to managing change (duh!)
  • And finally, Jay Nolly who was the much loved starting goalkeeper for our Vancouver Whitecaps for three and a half years, was traded this week to Chicago.  My favourite memory of him was in the 2010 season at Swangard Stadium when he made this crucial save.

    Thank you for stepping up and sharing your thoughts on these pieces of paper. As a seasoned facilitator, I can honestly say I am saddened and surprised,in this day and age, that they went this route. As you so eloquently note, using them can be less than productive. Good old newspaper quality flip charts, or the big rolls you can cut your own lengths from are the best! Keep up the great blogging!
