Unread Books

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:00:00 -0400

Unread Books: normblog: Suppose you read four books a week every week for 70 years. Allowing for a day here and there where you’re unable to read, we can call that 200 books a year, and 14,000 books over the whole three score years and ten. It’s a lot of books.

Domain Crazy

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 17:53:00 -0400

My latest purchase makes me happy. Last night through an international site, I found and snapped up the domain name Sally.sm. I want to use it to market my social media training classes, but for now it’s pointed to my online resume (http://HireSallyAlbright.com). I confess I’m a bit of a domain junkie. My habit started when I worked at the U.S. Internet Council, where our Vice President was a...

Social Media 101

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 19:55:00 -0400

The other day I ran into a colleague, a woman I’ve always looked up to who also works in communications. We exchanged business cards and briefly caught up. When told her that I had branched into social media consulting, she sneered, “I don’t do all that social media nonsense. If someone needs to reach me, they can email. I do email.” Looking at my card with contact info for half a dozen social...

“ At its most repugnant, the belief that women must be subjugated to the wishes of men excuses slavery, violence, forced prostitution, genital mutilation and national laws that omit rape as a crime. But it also costs many millions of girls and women control over their own bodies and lives, and continues to deny them fair access to education, health, employment and influence within their own...

“Having spent my academic career trying to bridge differences and promote understanding among Americans, I can report that it is far more comfortable being the commentator than being commented upon. At this point, I am hopeful that we can all move on, and that this experience will prove an occasion for education, not recrimination. I know that Sergeant Crowley shares this goal. Both of us are...

On Sunday my friend Desi Deschaine invited me to go boating. I couldn’t go. In fact, I didn’t even reply. I knew he had sent a mass text and that all his friends were welcome. I thought I would have time to respond after the weekend. I thought there would be future invitations. I was wrong. Desi drowned Sunday night. Known for his enthusiasm and charm, Desi could coax people into anything....
