I’m in the Vancouver airport MLL (one of my favourite third places in the world), reflecting now on this past week’s western roadshow for my work with Bridgeway. We’re halfway there, with eastern Canada coming next week. This past week took Brent and I to snowy Winnipeg, windy Calgary, and sunny Vancouver. We met for 2+ hours with six groups of 8-12 charity leaders in these locations. Our viewpoint: we think it was not only ...

World AIDS Day is December 1, and Direct Relief International is hoping to raise $30,000 by that date through the support of SocialVibe members like you. The money raised will support an AIDS/HIV program in Kenya, which includes distribution of life-prolonging drugs to 1,500 patients a year through antiretroviral therapy (ART). ART not only prolongs the lives of patients with AIDS, but also improves the quality of their lives and their families’, including potentially orphaned ...

Tengo que admitirlo, he usado la más famosa excusa para evadir la cagada a pedos en el trabajo: “Había muchísimo tráfico”. Para nosotros (argentino hablando), las personas que vivimos en países donde el WiFi todavía es algo bastante raro, esta excusa, por ahora, seguirá funcionando por unos cuantos años más, pero para los trabajadores de Microsoft en China, lamentablemente, no. La empresa de las ventanitas creó un bus que pasará a buscar a los ejecutivos ...

Just two days before their annual awards ceremony at the Victoria and Albert Museum is set to be besieged by coach loads of angry trans activists, “gay lobby group” Stonewall are once again up to their dirty tricks and have enlisted the former Gay Times editor and henchwoman of the “Soho Gay Mafia”in an attempt to distract the more independent gay and mainstream press away from Thursday’s demonstrations. At 11am on Tuesday 4th November 2008 ...

The Chronicle of Philanthropy reports on an article in the Ottawa Citizen that the Canadian Women’s Foundation has launched an “IPO” (”Immediate Public Opportunity”) for the Girls’ Growth Fund. This is a creative way to raise $1m through offering donors “shares” for $100 each. Investors get a share certificate, prospectus, and the satisfaction of having helped girls. Sherry Cooper and Doris Buffett were “angel investors” who bought in at $10k before the launch, while other ...

People! Always wipe your cell phone before you sell it, give it away, or trade it in. Do not assume or expect that someone else will do this for you! This was just one of the mistakes that led to Rachel Swanson being called by strangers several weeks after she thought she donated her old phone to charity. But the store that handled the donation, and the company responsible for actually processing the donated phones, ...
