Digging In, Lancaster: June 2010

http://charliecrystle.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Digging In, Lancaster. Tuesday, June 29, 2010. Thaddeus Stevens would have been ashamed of Lancaster County Commissioners Stuckey and Martin. Stevens was a proponent of the 14th Amendment, which contains perhaps our most important American principle next to freedom of speech:. Equal protection of the laws. Martin and Stuckey have decided in the past few days- without notice or public planning- to eliminate the Human Relations Commission. The Act, however, did not cover all unjust discrimination. Gays...

Digging In, Lancaster: November 2010

http://charliecrystle.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Digging In, Lancaster. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. School board meets this evening in Executive Session. The nature of these things tends to be around either personnel issues or other stuff that falls within the scope of things we can discuss in private. Some of that, though, I disagree with, and tend to remind people of the limitations (and myself) of what we can discuss. The article on Phoenix Academy was incomplete; the board has in fact discussed turning it into a charter school, and the administrati...

Digging In, Lancaster: March 2011

http://charliecrystle.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Digging In, Lancaster. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. PBS Radio remains one of my top applications on the iPhone. I'm listening to WITF 93.3 at the moment- BBC news. 89.5 is likely playing classical music, which is fine, but I'd rather here news, Talk of the Nation, etc, and when I want to hear music, I'll choose my own. Later today I'll listen to KQED in San Francisco. Some days I miss morning edition, so I tune into the NPR station in Hawaii. We've come a long way. Check this out, for fun:. Links to this post.

Digging In, Lancaster: July 2010

http://charliecrystle.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

Digging In, Lancaster. Thursday, July 29, 2010. The Socially Responsible Term Sheet. The socially responsible investment world has grown over the past 25 years to a decent level, but compared to the total amount of venture capital, it's a small percentage. It's a long list that keeps getting longer- opportunities to do things better, to reduce the impact on the world, to do so profitably. It's a great thing, mostly. Green is inside out, sustainability is inside out, and social responsibility is inside ou...

Digging In, Lancaster: April 2011

http://charliecrystle.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Digging In, Lancaster. Friday, April 29, 2011. I'm blogging more at my professional blog. And less here, and less about local issues. I just posted about the Flow of Capital and the ecosystems in regions I'm spending a lot of time in these days on behalf of the new startup (Jawaya, which might be renamed). It's very possible that I put this one on hiatus for a while, because I need to focus most of my energies on building the business. Links to this post. Monday, April 25, 2011. Fortunately our city of l...

Have a great Thanksgiving. Links to this post. Sunday, November 20, 2011. Penn St...

Digging In, Lancaster: September 2011

http://charliecrystle.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Digging In, Lancaster. Tuesday, September 20, 2011. Digging In, Lancaster. A while ago I split off my startup blog. From this one, but hadn't known where to draw the line. On Sunday I realized where the split really needed to be: between where most of my community life happens, and my professional life. My views on our community are informed by a lot of people, conversations, and experiences, most of which have very, very little to do with startups. We got a deep explanation of the city's infrastructure ...
