Stuff

Stuff, Stuff, Stuff. We love stuff. I didn’t realize just how much stuff I’ve acquired until I started moving. I found all kinds of stuff that was just that—stuff. Not important stuff, but just stuff taking up space. I was finding it difficult to part with a lot of it. Not because it was important, but because it brought back so many memories. The following videos helped me get over that and get rid of all the unnecessary things that were holding me back.

Episode 6: Interview With Todd O'Neill

I happened across Todd O’Neill about a year ago at a Gemini Ink discussion on immigration. His extremely calm, yet focused, demeanor struck me as interesting. The co-owner of C4 Workspace, O’Neill is all about strengthening community by bringing minds together. He is the license holder of TEDxSanAntonio, a conference that has created a great deal of conversation about what people are capable of doing when we think beyond ourselves.

Steven Johnson: Where Good Ideas Come From

Steven Johnson explores the idea that good ideas come from shared, communal spaces. Coffee shops, round tables, and open offices may be among the best places for ideas to develop. Thank you Shawn Cohen for passing this on to me.

We Need More Taglines Like This. Thanks @griley

Last night I attented the TEDxSanAntonio mixer and was fortunate enough to meet George Riley (@griley), one of the people that makes the official TED happen. At the end of the evening, he passed me his business card. This is the back of that card. If only more businesses had taglines like this. If only more businesses lived this type of philosophy. If only more businesses operated like this. Think of what we could accomplish together.

Other people I lucky to see again included:
