failure is impossible: May 2012

http://failure-is-impossible.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Wednesday, May 23, 2012. A lot of changes on the immediate horizon. A change in career, a change in location. I'm excited and I'm scared. Luckily, however, my friends and family haven't changed. I can count on them for love and support and these past 24 hours I've felt extreme gratitude for their love. May we all be happy and healthy. May we love and be loved. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

failure is impossible: What can you teach in an hour?

http://failure-is-impossible.blogspot.com/2012/07/what-can-you-teach-in-hour.html

Sunday, July 29, 2012. What can you teach in an hour? Yesterday my husband and I went to a cheese-making workshop at the first Fingerlakes Cheese Festival. Our teacher, Tom Pinello, did a fantastic job demystifying the cheese-making process. His delivery was calm and casual yet thorough. And he was open to questions throughout the workshop- we had many. This got me on a stream of thought about what. Then I wondered what the. Then I started to think of creating a collection of one hour lessons. I'm aw...

failure is impossible: Toys toys toys

http://failure-is-impossible.blogspot.com/2012/12/toys-toys-toys.html

Monday, December 24, 2012. I'm developing a new project called Make Better Stuff, a series of toy-making workshops in which students design and build their own toys while learning social skills like teamwork, user interaction, and empathy. I've been thinking a lot about toys- about who designs them, who builds them (not elves), who plays with them, and how the design of a toy affects people in different ways. But you know what there aren’t enough of? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

failure is impossible: Cheese, Entrepreneurship, and 3D Printing

http://failure-is-impossible.blogspot.com/2012/09/cheese-entrepreneurship-and-3d-printing.html

Thursday, September 13, 2012. Cheese, Entrepreneurship, and 3D Printing. I've gotten pretty good at making cheese over the past month which makes me (and my friends) happy. I've been making bread and more recently gnocchi and I'm experimenting with alternatives to wheat for that. But really, the most exciting thing for me at the moment is that I'll be at the Finger Lakes Social Entrepreneurship Institute. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.
