Have Fun - Do Good

JANUARY 27, 2009

After I published my list of Favorite Do-Good Books of 2008 with links to my lists for 2007 , 2006 and 2005 , a reader suggested that I create a PDF of all of the lists for folks to download, and take to the bookstore. Now, you can easily (I hope) download and share the Have Fun * Do Good Book List (2005-2008) for free.

JULY 2, 2008

We're half way through 2008, so I thought I'd share how mine are going, and check in on yours. Challenge for the rest of 2008: I'm feeling a bit discouraged about what feels like a lack of progress in the situation. Challenge for rest of 2008: I only have 6 more interviews for 2008. Have more fun while doing good.

Yeah, it’s fun that there is a great mix of people that I can keep track of (and they can keep track of me) – that’s the part of the equation that’s hard to find elsewhere.
