The post was by Mike Poole who'd used a photo of a drawing Roy Blumenthal had started for me when ...

The group of Occupational Therapy students at UNISA I spoke with yesterday about how to use tools to do life with disability. The course title is "Enabling Occupation" Occupation being any activity in this case. I like to simplify that to mean "Helping to do stuff". Which ain't a bad ...

Social Isolation kills - period.
It kills a person’s hope, kills their spirit, and kills their potential.

Doc says:
III. Advertising is going to die. PR is already dead.

In a previous post I mentioned I'd looked at the Haystack idea Chris Carfi is developing.

When Doc quotes Christopher Carfi and within the context comments about the new service Haystack as an example of what Don Marti calls 2GI, or 2nd Generation Intermediation.
