I love the use of simple graphics like this to explain complicated ideas. Where was this stuff when I was in school? Teachers must start finding & using all the great digital study aides out there!

I'm converting.

From David's life update email a while back: While I was in Brazil I was invited to come work for Havik Circus's program at the Viva Wyndham resort here in Bayahibe, in the Dominican Republic, and I accepted. The job includes four hours a day of teaching and pulling lines for flying trapeze on our rig out on the beach, another few days of practice/rehearsal in the theater and then a show once or twice a week. When JD was going over my letter of interest with me before I sent it off months before, he said "come on David, this needs to be stronger; in six months you'll be running their company." Well, as it turns out, it was only 17 days after I arrived that they offered me the job of running the whole program for them when they left to go open their next location in Mexico! So here I am, officially the Regional Managing Director of Havik Circus and Flying Trapeze Program for the Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach and Dominicus Palace in the D.R.. I like to show off the title when I can because the truth is that the job is considerably less glamorous than it sounds! But I'm learning tons every day as I deal with an Italian administration and work within a huge, totally inefficient system and do all I can to keep things moving forward and to protect my artists and try to make good art in a difficult context. But I feel I'm doing my job really well and learning how to deal with stress all around me while staying relatively calm and happy and taking time to snorkel and kayak and take naps and watch plotless action flics with my team here, so no complaints here… ------------ Fuck yeah. Go David.

From jester to scholar in four more days.

Reason, competence, and innovation in the White House.
