activerain: KIVA and ActiveRain Can Shine Together
- 11/06/07 10:59 PM
Sebastian, Florida and Points West KIVA + AR + 56,623 = X What's the answer? What's "X"? Read on. I see our ActiveRain has placed a banner ad- or rotating banner or whatever it is - of KIVA on the site (or vice versa) home page. Great opportunity for ActiveRainers to get involved - economically and spiritually. We also have a KIVA group on AR, found here: http://activerain.com/groups/KIVA. KIVA is a company that provides - through "sponsors" - MICROLOANS to entrepreneurs and small business persons in Third World nations. The receivers of these loans are carefully screened by the KIVA field partners (banks) in their own … (2 comments)

27 June 2007 - Madison, Wisconsin I try to stay up on things without obsessing, so often revelations and news come to me at a pace others may see as slow - i.e what's NEWS to me is HISTORY to them.

Alerts, and other news feeds about the Real Estate industry. This came to my attention … (3 comments)
activerain: Plagiarism Must Stop - But What to Do?

6 May 2007 - Madison, Wisconsin There's a line in Good Will Hunting that I'll paraphrase. In a scene where the "townies" are having a bar encounter with the Ivy League rich kids, Matt Damon's character (Will) is exchanging some not-so-harmless banter with a clearly over-matched college kid . Will is laying it on about how the rich kid is trying to impress the ladies about the philosophies he learned this semester, then tells him what he'll be yapping about next year, and the next, etc like a parrot - the rich kid retorts that Will's kids will be serving HIS kids burgers … (48 comments)
activerain: Shades of Sigmund Freud - I am Now Dealing With Point-Envy. Thanks Mom.
- 04/15/07 05:52 PM
16 April 2006 As if the American male doesn't have enough to deal with, now the trauma to my psyche known as "Point-Envy" has crept into my life. Yes, my mother is to blame, but so is ActiveRain. A month ago I knew nothing about Point-Envy. The matter was never discussed at home and my education pre-dated blogging and the Internet. The bloggers on the street joked about it a little, but it was a vague topic that I'd only laugh at nervously - watching the other bloggers for my cue as when to snicker and when to guffaw. Sure, I tried to … (5 comments)
