Olympic and Blogging Fever
For me it is a little bit difficult to think about the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics right now… I’m in a car outside of Hanoi, Vietnam heading to Ha Long Bay for an overnight boat cruise. The car ride is about 3.5 hours long and so I thought I’d use this time to plug a […]

Unintentional Bias
My bias was intentional. In my last post, Girl Power, I highlighted two things: 1. The Girl Effect video 2. Women who are Inspirational Educational Leaders Liz B.

Girl Power
I’ve always been surrounded by women. I grew up with three sisters, and I have two daughters and a wonderful wife. Yet when I think of the people that I look up to as heroes and leaders, I inevitably think of men… I was tempted to list some here, but that’s not what this post […]
