“It’s in our nature to enjoy stories. Whether we tell, read, or listen to one, stories just have that magic quality. They take our minds somewhere else, allowing us to see and feel things that don’t even have to be right in front of us.
On a deeper level, stories do more than just excite the imagination. They can carry meaningful lessons too. Stories that carry a great message linger in the mind and resonate with the soul. This is the kind of positive power that Share A Story wants to explore and harness. By gathering real stories from people around the world and from every background you could possibly imagine, this website hopes to paint a raw picture of humanity today.
Through these stories, we can celebrate each other’s uniqueness and at the same time, appreciate the fact that even though we come from different countries, religions, or socio-economic backgrounds, at the core we are all the same.
We are inviting you to join these people who have already contributed their personal stories to Share A Story. You just might have a tale that someone has been waiting to hear, or insights that could nourish a spirit hungry for inspiration.”

I need a browser bookmarklet that does one of two things:
1. Takes the contents of a webpage (text-only or text and links only) and creates a note in Simplenote.
2. Takes the contents of a webpage (text-only) and creates a text file in a dropbox folder.
Ideally this bookmarklet would work just as well across all browsers (and mobile too).
What do you think? Does this exist?

Enjoy!
I am free.
I don’t want to be in Education. I want to be a Teacher.
I don’t want to be a manager. I want to be a creator.
I don’t want to have meetings. I want to make meaning.
I don’t want to be a director. I want to be a designer.
I took a new job today. And as with the last one, I have new hopes and dreams for what it will be. The biggest difference this time, is that I had a choice. I could have taken the one in Education that really would be supported by all I have built up until this point. But, I don’t want to continue with what I know. I want to start over. All over.
I want to rebuild my network from the foundation to the gargoyles and take what I have learned and not allow myself to slip back into old habits. I want to take the respect that I have earned and become something that others don’t expect. I want to grow.
And I’m taking you with me. If you have enjoyed reading about tools and learning. If you have enjoyed thinking through my questions, they are all coming with me. But this time I won’t contend with upending a system. I will create change because it leaves me breathless in connection with others.
I am a Learning Experience Designer. I will own it and all of the things that come with it. Just watch me.
AddALL Ebook search
A friend of mine was looking for a way to comparison shop for ebooks. This is what I came up with, and although it is bare bones it seems to work really well.

So, I am making a go of giving Firefox one more try while the new version of Chrome is getting formulated for Lion (or at least one that doesn’t eat memory for breakfast). I’ve got most of my plugins working on Firefox 6 beta thanks to the ability to turn off the compatibility checker.
The one thing that I don’t have is a good Google+ plugin. Does one actually exist?
So, I have been listening to a bunch of classical music today, and this is just beautiful.

This is one of my favorite bands. They make wonderful music and are super great people as well. They are trying to make their fourth album in a different way. Go and support them if you are of a mind to do so.
