Sundance and Skoll : a good year to be at Oxford B-school

This is turning out to be a perfect year for my long term partner Christie George to be attending Said Business School at Oxford.  She worked in the documentary film world in NYC for many years, and then was selected to receive a Skoll Scholarship to attend the school. 

Now, the week that classes are starting, it turns out that the Sundance Institute and the Skoll Foundation announced $3
million, three-year partnership dedicated to exploring film's role in
advancing knowledge about social entrepreneurship. Good timing.

Free Will Travel - global music collaboration

A year ago I connected with Martin via the web, and never followed in the busyness that has become my life since joining the digital marketing world. 

But he has continued on his global musical journey, which you should definitely check out.  I just listened to this wonderful recording of acoustic guitar on a porch in Bamako, Mali.  Hopefully I'll be able to add some voice to it sometime over the next few months. 

Keep up the good work Martin...

Ponoko remaking the way we make things

The big idea is:

The post-industrial revolution is changing the way products are created, traded and distributed. Now everyone can engage in the manufacturing process through their PCs - bringing personal manufacturing of individualized products to the masses.

Check out Ponoko.
