Hi everyone,
I'm hunting for housemates somewhere on the Red Line. Sublets are okay too...

Reading, Writing, Arithmetic...... and Programming? Should everyone learn how to program? Douglas Rushkoff in his new book "Program or Be Programmed" argues why we should all understand the new digital world. What are your thoughts?

I've read countless personal development books, but I always come back to the conclusion that a lot of times we don't seek out self-help books to help ourselves, we seek them out so they can do the work for us. As part of my coach training, I've had 3 coaches myself, and it seems the only thing that *sticks* is regular work with another human being who holds me accountable. Yet the self-help industry booms, while coaching is still trying to find a name for itself.
Brazen thoughts?

Coach training finished up for me in March, but all of the months after have been a wonderful extension of the learning. Self-help books have been a large part of that because I want to see what the market is saying about personal growth and development. Those are the voices that seem to be much louder than the coaching community.

But the desire and need for 1:1 is there; it's just a question of tapping into your audience. Good luck!

Cool interactive map http://n.pr/9g2w0D showing median income by county. Being new to DC it was interesting to note that the median income around 60,000 while surrounding median incomes in VA and MD counties closer to 90-100,000.

Hi Everyone,
I'm writing to request your help in putting together a series of interviews for my blog. The series will highlight young professionals who were born in Latin America and the Caribbean(LAC) but now call the US home. I'm interesting in learning about life in LAC countries from a native's perspective. This would also be a great opportunity to highlight your own blog as well. Contact me if you're interested and/or for further details.

At the time, I walked by the theater it was at every day to go home. I always liked the energy there, and the carefree, interesting nature of the actors. I think I considered myself a bit dull in comparison, and wanted to be more interesting. It's one of my favorite experiences to look back on now. I definitely recommend going outside your element!
