I listened to Sarah Wynn-William's "Careless People" on a very long drive back and forth to a Lacross tourney over spring break.
Damn.
I really wanted not to like the book and to pick her case against Meta apart.
It's damning.
Highly recommended. And, screw Meta.

Hi Community Folks!
I've been running the Online Community Unconference in since 2006.
I'm pleased to say that we are back from a 12 (yikes) year gap to reconvene both community AND community-skilled leaders for a day of open space in SF on Jan 8.

As a candidate, Donald Trump – whose relationship with the WWE spans nearly 30 years – emulated the bombastic style of a pro wrestler. As president, it might be doing him more harm than good.
