Links for November 19th through November 20th

These are my links for November 19th through November 20th:

Which Social Media Apologies Rebuild Trust? - Today has been a bounty of great reminders and thoughts. Another important communication skill: the art of the apology. What are your rules of thumb for saying "sorry"?
90-9-1 - The principle of participation in any group — a handy reference point. When are you 90 - 9 - 1?
Why the Four C’s of Community Require the Commitment of Many - Advertising Age - DigitalNext - For some of us this is a given, but we can't take it for granted — and this applies online and off. (Naturally.)
Have Passion, and Be Amazing - Not bad goals, I think.

These are my links for November 13th through November 16th:

15 Famously Filthy People From the Pages of History — ty.rannosaur.us - via Mental Floss … if you ever wanted to know who were the biggest smelly slobs in history, this list might be a start. More tilted toward people than probably verifiable slobbishness, but still a fun read. Witness: "When offered a toothbrush by one of his physicians, Mao refused on the grounds that tigers didn’t brush their teeth either. You can’t argue with that logic."
mental_floss store :: T-Shirts :: Hokey Pokey T-shirt - I'm definitely adding this to my wish list.
Big Idea or Just Creepy? Send Real Gifts to an Email Address With Tigerbow - Actually think this is a great idea — especially with our ever expanding social circles online.
MAKE: Blog: Bacon wrap - Yesterday Jamelah mentioned she was working on a crochet project… I really hope this is it.

These are my links for November 13th:

Recipe: Portuguese Sweet Bread (Pao doce) - I need to make this for my daughter's middle school Family Heritage Night. Unless I come up with another brilliant idea.
Autumn Bonsai Exhibit — National Arboretum - Another thing I need to check out, since apparently I've missed the foliage this year. I think the trees were on fast forward this time around.
FotoWeek/DC - November 15-22, 2008 - I think I need to check this out. Anyone ever been?

Wed 12 Nov 2008

These are my links for November 11th through November 12th:

5 Sickening Habits of Mainstream Websites - It's funny because it's true. Or is that why it's sad? In any case, the screenshots are priceless. Popups, being forced to register… What's your web experience pet peeve?
Nov. 12, 1935: You Should (Not) Have a Lobotomy - Even though people are getting canned at Wired, they still have good articles.
Women Mellow with Age | LiveScience - Something for my husband to look forward to!
YouTube - reading ulysses …. a film by Jamelah - this is really the best movie I've seen all year. Two thumbs WAY up. Crazier than a Calvin Klein commercial.
Michael Dolan: Attacking the Email Monster - The first step is admitting you have a problem… In truth, most people feel overwhelmed because they don't have any clear sense of what they are expecting to give/get out of their relationship with their inbox. In the end it's just mail and we need to get over our panic and just get it done.
