In a world where we celebrate diversity, we need to find ways to connect through our common humanity while honoring and being open to other voices. For me, it starts with a smile, empathy, asking questions, and active listening. It may sound simple, and it is. How can I connect with them? How can I lift their spirits?

No hoops to jump through in order to switch seamlessly to Google Voice and back. I like that I can set different sounds for each type of notification. I miss the ability to hold down on the microphone to activate voice dialing. Switching between them is a pleasure compared to on the iPhone. Much, much better.

Some institutions have even banked on that charm to create compelling ad campaigns featuring visitors' comments. The comments provide me with some mental uplift, and they inspire me to keep pushing.

When people ask about blogging, the question of comments comes up more frequently than any other. There are many good ways to measure a blog's value , but somewhere inside ourselves, we feel that comments are the thing that validate a blog's existence. So when people ask, "Why don't more people comment?," It's a bit strange.

William Goldman does something similar with The Princess Bride, commenting about dreadfully dull chapters he has omitted for the reader's sanity. And if you try to write this way without sincerity, it will sound as flat as other text. The story of Peter Pan is well-known, but it's just as unique for its tone as its content.

A theory of change is a model that connects: the activities we do, to the outcomes they effect, to the impact we seek to create in the world. We did a board/staff retreat where we built theories of change in two directions: UP from our activities to our intended impact, and DOWN from the intended impact to the activities that fuel it.

Writing effectively for the web isn’t always as easy as it sounds (see our comments on the human attention span below). We live in a world of sound bites, punchy headlines, and quick notifications.

Yes, the Exploratorium is also present in these arenas as a "talker" (more on that next week), but it is just one voice among thousands. You need to turn the ways you currently do research into listening activities, and you need to ask your community specifically to help you improve the museum.

Both of these programs provide standard public lecture fare with a twist: shorter presentations, more active crowd participation, and a general attitude of a social night out rather than a learning opportunity. Oh, and one other thing. They both involve (optional) alcohol. And that social spirit is reinforced by the choice of venue.
