“Love Ripples & Help The Homeless”

March 29, 2010

Jason called me on Valentine’s Day from the Costco parking lot. “Hey, I just bought a crapload of stuff to give away to homeless people. Want to come with me to hand it out?”

HugNation Case Study – Feb 3, 2010

March 3, 2010

I started the day in a funk. Then a chatroom “hacker” was flooding the HugNation room with racist hate speech… AND it looked like I was typing it. I actually said aloud, “HugNation is canceled!” (And even kicked my couch in frustration.) But instead I took a breath and used the [...]
