Am I completely, completely evil, to resent the new “New Parent” Community of Practice,” (CoP)set up to “help new parents and managers navigate work/life balance”?   Behind the scenes I was told that the “problem”  that new parents wish to see addressed in this new CoP is the “mommy tracking”: the fact that they are “kept from promotions because of their parental status.”

Happy Independence Day. In honor of the day, I've been thinking a lot about independence and dependence and how to have both in a relationship, in a life. I'm blogging about it here. I've curious what you think.

With Independence Day rolling around, I'm thinking about independence and dependence. Webster's notes that "depend" is from the Latin "to hang from"  and so I have wondered does loving, depending mean you have to hang from? In college I was sure depending was a bad thing, a way to lose yourself. Now, I'm not so sure - there's a beauty to depending, and a wonder about being depended on.

Hey, just a short note to say "WOW" - i haven't been on the site in a few days (maybe a week) and I'm totally impressed. rock on! it looks great!

I was reading a great article on publishing2.com about the proliferation of the SAME news article out there 10 zillion times. I'm similarly overwhelmed by the wonderful but terrifying abundance of web/media tools out there. For a newbie/researcher at heart, this is a crazy ride!   I'm blogging about it here and would LOVE to hear what you think/use. Help!
