Two weeks ago, a few of us adults got to play! We sat in on ENGN 0930 - Design Studio at Brown University , taught by Ian Gonsher and played with duct tape. My friends, Annie Kahl and Dan Festa had sent up a flock- load of duct tape to the class to play with. The following post is by Addie Thompson, '12.5 describing the collaborative creative process - iterations, failures and successes.

In watching the debate, if it can be called that, last night, 3 things hit me – Respect (or lack thereof), Power (or illusion of) and Knowledge (or lack thereof). Respect & Civility : Throughout the presidential, vice presidential and even the Ohio senate race debates, the candidates have shown little to no respect for each other, for the moderator and for the audience.

Another wonderful guest post by a friend & client, Lisa Lehman at Thogus. It's not that I'm abandoning my posts here, it's just that so many wonderful things are happening that I want to share. Thogus's president, Matt Hlavin , is blessed with 2 brains - one in his head and the other in Lisa's. Her initiative to create a family tree at Thogus Family Tree Thogus has had an impact beyond expectation.

I’m privileged to have one of the very first, hot off the press, copies of Josh Allan Dkystra’s new book, Igniting the Invisible Tribe. It is about a new way of business and work for the 21 st Century. It’s a fabulous, must read book on how the world of ‘work’ can, and should, evolve and what we can do, with practical real questions to answer, to make that happen. 4 things are particularly remarkable to me in the book: The book itself – the physical book.

I grew up in Rumson, NJ by the ocean (I used to say “the jersey shore” but can’t anymore) spending my Sea Bright, NJ post Hurricane Sandy summers on the beach in Sea Bright and sailing in the briny rivers and ocean. There were “traditions” around certain weather occurrences, like the annual Nor’easter that helped get the boat out of the water, the annual winter beach erosion and summer rebuilding and the very very rare snow on the beach.
