Autism Speaks

“Every 20 minutes — less time than it will take you to drink your coffee — another child is diagnosed with autism. It’s much more common than people think, with one out of every 150 children diagnosed. Learn the early warning signs of autism, and if you’re concerned about your child’s development, talk to your doctor. Early intervention could make a big difference in your child’s future.”

– Bob Wright
Former chariman and CEO of NBC/Universal, co-founder of Autism Speaks.

Starbucks, The Way I See It.

by Jeff on January 14, 2008

As time will illustrate, I have a serious addiction to Starbucks coffee. Every day I get a new cup I’m going to post “The Way I See It” comment that is printed on the cup. Why do this? I don’t know. I really like some of the comments and hope that it’s okay to share.

The Way I See It #266

by Jeff on January 14, 2008

“Once, when excavating the house of a medieval sailor on the coast of the Red Sea in Egypt, I found a still-preserved reed mat in front of a door. Under the doormat was a wooden key with the name of the owner painted on it. It was an extraordinary sense of connection with the last person to walk out of that building 700 years ago.”

The Way I See It #273

“All children need a laptop. Not a computer, but a human laptop. Moms, dads, grannies and grandpas, aunts, uncles — someone to hold them, read to them, teach them. Loved ones who will embrace them and pass on the experience, rituals and knowledge of a hundred previous generations. Loved ones who will pass to the next generation their expectations of them, their hopes, and their dreams.”

– General Colin L. Powell
Founder of America’s Promise — The Alliance for Youth
