DIY Public Relations: Writing & Style
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged cincinnati, diy, pr on December 16, 2008 | 1 Comment »
More than once, I have been asked to give advice on how to improve a nonprofit’s public relations activities. To make it easier for me to remember my own tips, I am planning several posts on DIY nonprofit public relations, focusing on Cincinnati. Many grassroots organizations just don’t have the capacity for public relations, but [...]
Why oh why oh, did I ever leave Ohio? A songlist to vote by

I giggled like a little boy while I was listening to this week’s This American Life and their segment on kids who misinterpret things and continue to believe them into adulthood.

I wish I could join those of you who are getting the 3G iPhone tomorrow. Alas, I’ve only had my iPhone for 6 months, so I’m not planning to upgrade for a while. The 3G will be great, but EDGE has taught me great patience. How else am I going to hear the sounds of [...]

So many pedestrians lately have been waving me to pass them while they’re standing in crosswalks. Is this the new power trip?
