It appears as if Brian Hull has maneuvered through the interwebs chaos and got RI Future back on line and functional (it was up earlier, but the links weren’t working). An A+ for perseverance to Brian and here’s guessing you’ll be moving from the “Not” column soon. On another note, an ISP-centric blog clarifies what…
Via Ian Donnis’s Tip Sheet comes the news that Brian Hull is increasingly eager to offload RIFuture: Brian Hull, who purchased the site in 2009, says he’s willing to transfer the site to someone for no financial gain. “What’s most important to me is rebuilding the RI Future blog to what it was when I…
I claimed an influence on Providence Mayor Angel Tavares with respect to his handling of education costs on last night’s Matt Allen Show. Matt and I also touched on technical difficulties over at RI Future. It didn’t occur to me to connect the two topics, but fertile ground for bombastic declarations exists in the fact…
It’s going on 5 days (or so) since RIFuture.org was “taken over” by one of those ISP vultures. We experienced a similar thing hereabouts a few years back–in fact, the same pleasant young lady was hawking boats and other maritime gear for us–but we were able to get back up and running in short order.…
If you visit Rescuing Providence even on a semi-regular basis, you witness, through Michael’s eyes, more than what happens inside an advanced life support vehicle in Providence, RI including, though not limited to, a great many examples of what happens when you cross human nature with a public service that is “free”.

I don’t usually directly plug a blog, but Seth Godin’s Blog is a pithy record of his thoughts, mostly applicable to business, but broadly applicable to life. Godin looks at things from different angles and, though some of his solutions may boil down to re-wordings of the familiar, his explanation and method is engaging. For…
Brian Hull (h/t Ian Donnis), current proprietor of RI Future is putting the old girl up on the block again. This will be the 3rd ownership change for our erstwhile Progessive counterparts in as many years. Hull has been accepted into the Masters in Public Policy degree program at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and…
As Justin mentioned earlier this week, I’m now on Twitter. I’ve long toyed with the idea because, frankly, I often think that sometimes all I need to say on something can be done in a pithy sentence or two and not paragraphs of well thought out prose. So if it seems I have been mum…
Blogging has come a long way since the early days, back when I had to define the word for anybody curious about my time-consuming hobby. Students in Brown’s Continuing Education program can now study the medium in a classroom setting: In this course, participants will create and launch their own blog. Together, we will look…
This morning, the NEA’s Pat Crowley’s lamely attempted to use Alinsky’s Rules #5 (Ridicule) and #11 (” Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it”) on Education Commissioner Deborah Gist and put up a post that displayed the sort of empathy and prudence we’ve all come to expect. In the post, Crowley vaguely alluded…
