And there's a lot of stuff to cover.
Here's what's up with me in the next few weeks:
- Tomorrow I have two nibbles about potential jobs, both seemingly pretty cool ones. I won't jinx it by giving details until I'm offered and take one or other. However, one has the hugely fascinating potential to be 100% remote, meaning I could work from Kenya if I wanted to, where the dollar doesn't yet suck completely.
- And speaking of Kenya, forget Norway! Seriously, forget all about it (you'll understand when you click on the link below), because on the 3rd, I'm going to Kenya! My good friend Farah is going there to look in on a school she started for street children while she was working in Machakos as a journalist (because she's frankly superhuman). I'll be there seeing the motherland for the first time and looking out for lions and malaria. In case you want to sing along with me for the next week and a bit, click here: "I'm going to Kenya" (note: there are no tigers in Kenya)
- I'm thinking about starting a consultancy up with my friend Eric. I identified an unmet need in the online community world that he and I are particularly suited to work on. If everyone on the Internet would sign an NDA, I'd talk about it more, but some of you have been dragging your feet. You know who you are. Working for myself has become a dream ever since I started working for the investors who last "downsized" me.
- I'm a writer! Look Ma, no talent! What I do have is a close friend at MSNBC who's helping me to get a first article published there. Helen is the genius snark behind their Netiquette column. I've helped her with a few articles there by hashing out ideas with her and now she's returning the favor and editing my writing to suck less. She's well suited to editing me, since she's super kind-hearted and effervescently, scintillatingly, and hilariously mean.
