About Other Than That...
In today’s world of information overload most people maintain a binary view of things. There’s the left; and there’s the right.
Generally I find both sides rather full of cow pucky so I started this site.
Welcome to something Other Than That – a nourishing environment that fosters intelligent discourse with fascinating people.
It’s kind of like a social petri dish … just a lot less gooey and damp.

What New Media Means ...

This evening I have the pleasure of taking part in a panel discussion about the role of new media in today's ever-crowded content landscape.
It's sponsored by WISE, and the objective is to help propagate the already rapidly expanding world of blogs and new media - specifically among a female audience.
My fellow panelists include some people whose work I respect quite a bit ... and some others I'll have the pleasure of meeting for the first time.
The panel moderator, Zennie Abraham, asked each of us to give a little overview - by video - on our definition of new media as a "warm-up" of sorts for our panel.
Here's what he posted this morning:

From Old City Inspiration to New Ventures: A day in Jerusalem

The last 24 hours have been somewhat strange for me. There's been a sizable amount of meshugass on this trip - misfired communications, sardine-like conditions of our "bus" (which was actually a late model Ford van that the Israeli Consulate very graciously replaced today with a proper tour bus... YAY!), and the TG gang consensus that our goals for the trip and the itinerary were a bit off kilter.
Fellow TravelingGeek, Sarah Lacy, wrote a bit about our rebellion on Monday - an act that set into motion quite a few interesting activities and experiences.
As a result I have several half-finished posts sitting in my draft folder that I've just not been able to complete. (Confession: I'm a relatively newly minted blogger in terms of style. My writing has always tended to be a bit more in-depth analytical second day story type of stuff, so this whole rapid-fire writing thing is a new challenge).
In any case, that mini-backlog of items is going to have to wait a bit longer because after today's adventures I'm focused on something deeply important to me.
Faith.
More specifically the way in which faith inspires.
It's funny to think that on my first trip to Jerusalem in the summer of 1995, I found myself nearly paralyzed at my first approach to the Western Wall.. While I've only returned to the spot twice since that time, I've had exactly the opposite experience on each return. Rather than feeling repelled by the energy that comes off of this majestic edifice, it's as though a tractor beam grabs me, pulling me in.
But I'm getting ahead of myself... the story begins when we began the most enjoyable forced march you can imagine.
