Tiffany B. Brown : Defining the '00s, revisited

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 21:01:36 +0000

As you know, I'm down with this definition. The curious problem of the 00s is that the technology that has allowed this unique conflict of the individual and the institution has advanced faster than any of us are able to process or navigate.

Oooh, jumpchart looks promising. For whatever reason, I stopped using RTM and had switched to Google Tasks (although now I'm trying Scrumy as a kind of virtual post-it/white board combo).

Tiffany B. Brown : On being black and American abroad

And, in maybe this sense and this sense alone, are we post-racial. If Black folks are unclear about what role they are supposed to play--and maybe that means no role at all except the one you choose--then we've moved just a little bit beyond the classic chains of American Blackness and moved on to new identity challenges.

I hadn't thought about it before we went to SC but it does make total sense. And I think you're right that a lot of it has to do with and aligns with class differences. My family as a whole is middle to upper middle class and they've all become computer/laptop people while also having internet enabled smart phones to varying level of degree (from my parents on down to my sister). I, too, have cousins though for whom their primary internet device is their phone and, largely, because it's a communication device through multiple streams (whether phone, text, email, or social network). I want a danah boyd paper on this.

Tiffany B. Brown : Two-year itch: Staying motivated when you can't move

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 00:05:30 +0000

For me, it's a few things: 1. I let people know I'm open to new challenges and go after the ones that present themselves. I'm also quick to take on leadership roles/responsibilities but that's because I generally don't think anyone's smarter than I am. 2. In the times I've been under-challenged but understand that it's a function of the cycle of the work (i.e. there were lean work times in the reality tv web business), I find non-work hobbies/challenges to fill the time and don't give work more time than it deserves. That's how my first blog got started, why I took on editing at LAist, trained for a marathon, and spent 9 months being a tae-bo freak. They were all projects that either had a defined time span (but high return on that investment of time) or that I could flex when work became exciting again. 3. Do what you love or be on the path to doing what you love. If your work has particular meaning or purpose to your life's goals, keep your eye on that prize and maximize the opportunity. Without those 4 months at crappy Amp'd Mobile, I wouldn't have been ready for my gig at the house of mouse nor been able to go to SXSW in 2006. That may seem like a short time span but I hated that gig from the first minute I walked through the doors. I'd have quit in the first week if not for a desire to learn some things and go to south by for free.

CECILY.info : Where the Madness Happens

Fri, 22 May 2009 15:30:05 +0000

I don't claim, at all, to understand depression and how it haunts you and other cherished souls in my life. What I have learned -- and it's take a long time to learn this lesson -- is that it's important to allow people to feel what they are feeling and, if I can, attempt to help them in the ways they want to be helped rather than the ways I may think they need to be helped. This is the hard lesson for those of us on the other end of the emotional spectrum. I want to fix things. I'm a bit obsessive about finding solutions. It hurts to not offer that option. What I've learned is it often hurts the other person more to not be able to work through their own feelings in their own time.
