Design for Emergence: A Theory of Social System Change. Felt important to write and share this new post. saulkaplan.medium.com/design…

Love that the #NobelPrize in chemistry went to scientists studying chirality. My head is spinning with pharmacy school flashbacks of enantiomers and racemic mixtures!

Today’s global warming wrath: GLOFs (Glacial Lake Outburst Floods)

Faith based and tech enabled! No surprise seeing my talented friend @Mr_JLester getting well deserved love from The New York Times for his work transforming faith-based community engagement. nytimes.com/2026/07/30/us/ai…

Moved beyond words by Paul Simon’s performance at Tanglewood.

Special night. We’re off to the Berkshires for Paul Simon’s 1st ever (hard to believe) performance at Tanglewood. Straight from the playlist of our lives. The sound of silence resonates.

We’re verklempt after this morning’s adult b’nai mitzvah ceremony at Temple Beth-El in Providence. We needed this powerful and joyful reminder of the importance of adult learning and building community together during these difficult times. photo via ProJo.

Congrats to URI Lady Rams basketball on winning the A-10 Championship and earning an NCAA Tournament bid. Go Rhody. #ProudAlumni

Loved The Warmth Of Other Suns. A beautiful and timely reminder of an important chapter in U.S. history, America’s Great Migration. We have so much more work to do. Thx to Ryan Mitchner for the book recommendation.

Fun to catch up with fellow innovation and design junkies @nickscapp and @matthewarnold. Talking about the power of community, innovation at scale and the optimistic agency of youth.

After many hearing aids, I still don’t hear well in noisy spaces. I found Fortell, a NYC start up, with AI hearing aids trained to filter out ambient noise. What a difference, I can hear you now! Hoping the price point comes down so more people with hearing loss can afford them.

Enjoyed a beautiful stage production of Maybe Happy Ending on Broadway. There’s hope for obsolete helper-bots like us! Love is always the answer.

Embarrassed to finally cut the cord. Seemed like a good retirement project to tackle. Change management for large organizations was easy compared to transforming the infrastructure of our life!

No outdoor dining available! #blizzardart #providence

I call this, In The Jackpot Of The Storm! Stay safe.

Last night while watching a show on Amazon I thought I had clicked on pause. This morning I found $60 of health supplements for dogs over 60 lbs. in our Amazon Prime shopping cart. We have no pets!

No amount of snow could keep me from catching up with my friend and mentor, Harvard Business School Professor Len Schlesinger.

Grandpuppy duty this week!

Just to temper preternatural optimism my next reads are 1929 and The Sixth Extinction!

It’s hard work to stick around long enough to get lucky. Godin

Sad to learn that my friend and mentor Dr. Norman Campbell has died. As a pharmacy student at University of Rhode Island many moons ago Norm encouraged me to consider nontraditional career pathways leveraging my pharmacy education. I’m forever grateful.
