It's been a great year -- and, heck, I may just hit the Mega Million Lottery yet, and have it get even better (in which case, none of you... not even the people on the list below, will ever see me again... except maybe my wife and Zach the Dog).As I reflect on 2008, I can't believe how many wonderful people who I've met, or become even better friends with -- really, the list below is in no...

We've been doing this for 2-3 months now, so I guess it's a success -- if you'd like to catch up (and escape the office) sometime, pop by Linda's on Pine St. (on Capitol Hill) -- we're there every Thursday night from 6:30 til ~8:30pm.

I'm biased -- my wife is a landscape architect -- but I'm a huge fan of the city's investment in public parks, and I hope you all are too -- we're incredibly lucky to have spaces such as Discovery Park, Olympic Sculpture Park, Volunteer Park, Interlaken, Madrona Woods, and more.Please Vote Yes on Prop 2, to keep it that way.

Fun lifelong learning factoid of the day -- using search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN actually helps to jumpstart your brain and keep it functioning at high levels. Who knew that all of our time online was actually fueling our brain cells?Learn more about the Internet from Seattle teachers like Home Computing Coach via her web search classes!

Happy days! Several weeks ago, I applied to the Seattle P-I to author a Seattle lifelong learning blog, and I was approved! They do a great job of enabling Seattle reader blogs amongst their community, and we've pledged to keep it very open and inclusive -- so we'll be linking to great local teachers, classes and organizations that help improve local learning and the discovery of great Seattle...

For those of you involved in the startup world, you're likely wrestling with metrics, metrics, metrics -- that is, "what to measure, how to measure it, and what to do with what you measure?".A good friend and TeachStreet board member, Dave McClure, is running a startup metrics conference this week called Startonomics -- I highly recommend that you hop on a plane to San Francisco (or send you...

I was just organizing/cleaning up my desk at home, and found this passage -- I love re-reading this often -- I hope you enjoy it too.The Path With A Heart from 'Don Juan a Yaqui Warrior'Anything is one of a million paths. Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if you feel you should not follow it, you must not stay with it under any conditions. To have such clarity...
