Thanks for the shout out. There’s many different styles of blogging out there, and for a while I was trying the “Kottke” style of just posting other stuff that was interesting, usually posting every day. But, like you, I’m now blogging less frequently but (hopefully) more in depth. Part of this is trying a new style, and part of this is perhaps what the field of philanthropy needs at the moment: less reiteration, more new exploration.
Reminds me of this article of the important of silence in contemplating new ideas: http://www.theamericanscholar.org/solitude-and-leadership/#hide
Are you ever in DC? Would be great to chat more in person. Hope you’ll let me know if you’re on this coast.
