Ganz’s model is popular in activism and politics, but it also has applications for peer-to-peer fundraising. A personal story is an articulation about the values, beliefs, and events in someone’s life that have lead them to give and now fundraise. These two parts of the story are usually easy for people to articulate.

One person had brought up the idea of open source as a model for egalitarian participatory economics, and I made a brief comment that it wasn’t all that egalitarian, really.

From his perspective (and mine, too) one of the big issues (as he put it, the elephant in the room) is how open APIs impacts the business model of vendors.

I also learned that the best money in museums for someone who's starting out is in art modeling. I survived the first half of 2003 financially on art modeling and poetry gigs.
