The "On My Mind" Tab

I recently discovered the amazing utility of categorizing my bookmarks.  For example, some tabs along my Safari browser read " Running," "Microfinance," " Partner Leads, " and the topic of this post: "On My Mind."

If you haven't heard of TED.com, then your in for a treat.  I have always thought of today's every day technology/ideas as being on the cutting edge.  But ted.com offers insight into the future like I've never seen before.   On this website, you will find presentations from the most innovative minds our world has to offer.  Here are a few of my favorites:





Or what about the World Economic Forum in Davos with Al Gore and Bono?

I really would love the opportunity to attend and to one day, speak at these events.  The two real life conferences I attended, similar to these, were the Global Microfinance Investment Congress in NYC (May 2008) and the Clinton Global Initiative University in New Orleans (March 2008).

I am pleased to announce that my program, Recycle to Eradicate Poverty, received one of the Clinton Global Initiative Outstanding Commitment Grant Awards.

These funds come just when we need it the most.  I believe this will be a key factor in our eventual success of the One Million Cell Phone Challenge.

Did I mention I'm going to Costa Rica on Saturday?
Or that marathon that I'm training for?
Or Runningamerica08.com that I just got back from?
Or the next big for RTEP/JC Committee?

Don't think so, but I will.  I've got to feed this stuff in doses - stay tuned.

A tool I use for categorizing my bookmarks is delicious.com. You can download plugins for both firefox and IE that allow you to quickly bookmark a page and add tags. The tags act like folders. I have over 211 tags and 466 bookmarks in my account. The best part is that it is stored online and you can access them anywhere. You also don't ever lose them if your computer crashes or you need to reinstall your browser. And, once you install the plugins, it will suck your current bookmarks out of your browser.

Thought it might be useful to you.
