I was just interviewing a woman for a story and she was talking to me about the lack of computers in community service orgs and low-income neighborhoods in general. We were trading Web sites we'd found and she said, "There's this great site called responsiblityinc.com that just had an excellent story about computer recycling." I told her that was us and that I had written that story and she said we're one of only three sites she's found that offer information about that kind of stuff. She really appreciates the work we do, she said. Yay!

The lame part of journalism, and published writing in general, is that your work is constantly critiqued and edited. It makes you really happy when you write a flawless piece, but incredibly annoyed when you don’t. It’s particularly bad for me, because I get offended when people dare to criticize anything I write. It’s bad, I know. Not that I’ve written anything horrible at the internship, just some minor changes that are still made get on my nerves.

At work...scouring the news wires for potential stories. This seems like a cool idea...putting those crazy "get rich quick" schemes to use for non profits that really need the money.

Have you all seen Bent? Rent it now! Affecting. It's amazing when you watch of movie filled with so much terror and violence but the love story shines through much brighter than anything else.

Shakira!

This is just a normal 18-year-old kid. She is having fun doing what she loves to do, and I give props to anyone who has mastered the business world at such a young age. There's a lot going on in that mind. This excerpt is cute, but the rest of the story shows depth we don't often get to see.

Just a reminder: 1.888.387.7901 x 7860 It's all about the voicemail, baby.
