Based on a recent exchange I had with a Facebook friend collector, I felt compelled to write about networking and what works–and what does not.  A couple weeks ago, someone from a Facebook group to which I belong asked to be a “friend,” sending this message: “Hi, I’m also a member of the Green Business [...]

A Nutty Ban

It’s Black Friday, which we celebrated 5 years ago by visiting Rio de Janeiro for a couple weeks.  Rio is one of the world’s most unique and beautiful cities for countless reasons.  Incredible beaches lace the city; good food is abundant for all budgets; and the city seems stuck in 1960, with abundant mid-century and [...]

Yerevan.  Yes, that’s right.  The New York times just covered the opening of the Cafesjian Center for the Arts in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia.  This US$40 million art center sits on top of the Cascade, an ostentatious yet delightful structure that sums up Armenia.  As true with any nationality, being part Armenian, I had [...]

It’s that time of year again:  the season for excess and debauchery, and hopefully, quality time with friends and family.  I am not going to preach any holiday tips, nor have I looked at any “green” web sites, because I can only imagine the wrist slapping over all these not-so-sustainable practices.  What I will do [...]
