My friend Clarence of Do You KNOW Clarence? doing his storytelling thing at Fray Cafe at this year’s South by Southwest Interactive. Somehow hilarious and gripping all at the same time.
Check out his super awesome new comic, Planet Wifey, too.

Video of an Ignite Seattle presentation from 2007. I’d heard stuff about competitive bidding, but I’d never heard anyone recommend selling your used car separately instead of trading it in.

The annual White Privilege Conference (WPC) serves as a yearly opportunity to examine and explore difficult issues related to white privilege, white supremacy and oppression.
WPC provides a forum for critical discussions about diversity, multicultural education and leadership, social justice, race/racism, sexual orientation, gender relations, religion and other systems of privilege/oppression. WPC is recognized as a challenging, empowering and educational experience. The workshops, keynotes and institutes not only inform participants, but engage and challenge them, while providing practical tips and strategies for combating inequality.
