I'm passionate about

Words, white space, available light, hooded crows, better visualization of medical data, and most of all, helping people find their voice.

An idea worth spreading

Understanding the numbers we live by is empowerment.

    A comment on Talk: Caroline Casey: Looking past limits

    Apr 14 2011: I grabbed your talk as soon as it was available to translate into German. For I once *was* a biker chick, and I once *was* a pilot. Now there is much I cannot do anymore, due to a complicated bunch of autoimmune diseases. But right now I sit up straight and smell all the colors around me and I will make damn sure I get your beautiful message across perfectly right and then I will show it to my students.

  • A comment on Conversation: What are your thoughts and questions on "the magic washing machine"?

    Mar 25 2011: I love your work, research, and what you have done for presenting land. Thank you so much!

    As for the washing machine – you would not have needed it. You are a master story teller. You have the words, the energy, the belief.

    I am getting a little afraid that you might feel pushed to invent ever more dramatic acts on stage.
    Please don’t.

    You *are* the story.

    As for the content, it was such an important talk.

    Even though, at the end, I felt: Yes. Electricity makes time for reading. Electricity frees us.

    But how many household machines, toys and gadgets do we really need?
    Where does freedom start, luxury begin, and environmental responsibility end?

    Do we really need washer-dryer combos, waffle irons and electric curlers?
    Who needs to step up? Who needs to cut down? Those were my questions.
