Favorite Quote of Today
Matt Flannery, co-founder of Kiva.org, just tweeted an awesome quote in defense of Dr Yunnus: I like what he’s doing a lot more than what you are not doing. This rings so true. If people spent their time taking action rather than criticizing those doing amazing things in this world, the world would be a much better place.
The Cutest Dog Ever + A Business Idea

Back from an Awesome Trip
For those who don’t follow me on Twitter, I’m now back in Seattle after a 3 week stint on the road. I got to see 4 new cities – Philadelphia, Washington DC, Boston, and Chicago – and spend a week in Manhattan as well. The trip began in Philly for RE BarCamp anda classic Philly cheesecake. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to see much of the city or do any sightseeing given it was a quick in and out. I then hitched a ride with Matt Wilkins to Washington DC, where I stayed in the Adams Morgan neighborhood with a friend from college for a week. I loved the atmosphere in DC, more specifically DuPont … Continue reading
