Digital Ethnorati Presentation at SXSW

In an attempt to go beyond discussions about the "digital divide", I organized a panel at this year's South by Southwest festival to discussing the exploding market segment of 'minority' technologists and early adopters.

I apologize in advance for my hemming and hawing. I have a lot of work to do with my public speaking skills. But stay until the presentation done by Stephen Wilmarth and his students from The Center for 21st Century Skills. A victim of our anti-immigration policies, this straight A student gives a heartbreaking account of how after being deported with her mother to Brazil, she tried to keep up with her technology program and classmates using Skype and other social media.

This podcast first appears at the South by Southwest website.

Words to live by


So, I am driving, and thinking of Nick Lachey posing nude for Playgirl. My first thought is DAMN! I am going to have to buy that. But after much deliberation, I decide it isn't a good idea. What if I see his dick and am disappointed? Then what? Then whenever I see him I'll think "your dick is ugly". Nahhh, I guess I won't be buying it. I'd rather like to continue believing that all dicks I haven't seen are beautiful. Maybe I am a little naïve but hey, that means that I think half of my readers are looking good.
