First, I’m ever so slowly jumping on the Google Calendar bandwagon.
Next, New York Cares is having a Happy Hour this week. Should be a great time.
In more serious news, Brazil gets kudos for a recent decision on its HIV drug policy.
Finally, the Brazilian Fulbright commission has found it in their hearts to give me a grant. So I’ll be there working on a pretty ambitious mutlimedia human rights education curriculum on HIV/AIDS, from March to December 2008. This is incredibly exciting.
If anyone would like to employ me in the meantime, feel free to drop a line!
It’s been a bad couple weeks for immigration, between the publicity over the Canadian boy locked up, the New Bedford raid, and Operation ‘Return to Sender.’
But, as usual, Brazil can be trusted for good news. President Lula has suggested a “National Day Against Hypocrisy” in sex education. Amazing.
And on a more personal note, I’m in love with my new free trial of SpinVox.
Perhaps not everyone dislikes having to listen to voicemail as much as I do, but the fact that I can now receive my messages, transcribed, in my email (or, let’s not lie, on my blackBerry) in about a minute’s time is nothing short of brilliant. It’s starting to freak my friends/family out, but I’ve yet to customize my greeting ’cause I love the British lady’s voice. Hehe.
