C’est la GV | July 6th, 2008

Filed Under: Uncategorized By: Jillian @ 9:27 am

The Global Voices Summit, as you know, is over. Everyone (except perhaps Oso) has packed up and gone home, taking souvenirs, new friendships, and ideas with them. Personally, as always, I’ve had a hard time adapting to being back home. As I mentioned before, every time I travel, be it 100 miles or 1,000 [...]

Perhaps it was the severe lack of sleep I’ve sustained for the [...]

I’ve always said that the hardest part of growing up is leaving friends behind - or, in my circle, leaving friends all over the world, so to speak. In this particular instance, the Global Voices Summit, I found it particularly hard to “leave behind” the wonderful new friends I’ve made. As I sat [...]

GV Summit: Day One: AWESOME! | June 28th, 2008

Filed Under: GVSummit2008, Global Voices Online, Uncategorized By: Jillian @ 4:55 am

That’s just a tiny modification to the title of my post on the GV Summit site. Day One was quite awesome, despite the fact that I, as per usual, lost the ability to pay attention near the end of the day. Unfortunately, I was right up front, so I couldn’t just potter off [...]

GV Summit is featured on the EJC’s front page! When I clicked the link, this photo from last night’s dinner showed up: That’s me with Nasser Wedaddy of HAMSA. He also randomly happens to live two blocks from me! Unfortunately, two other photos of me are also on there, with me making my [...]

I’d like to dedicate the following video to Georgia Popplewell, who did not believe that these little namesakes of hers existed:

It’s finally here - tomorrow afternoon I head to BOS to fly to BUD via MAD (JFK on the way back). The Global Voices Summit begins on Friday, with all sessions being reviewed and live-blogged here. I’m really looking forward to it; I’ve been at Berkman for the past two days getting acclimated [...]
