    Monkeying Around in Udaipur

    http://twenty-somethingtravel.com/2010/04/monkey-castration-souvenir-shopping-udaipur/

    Thanks so much to Steph from Twenty-SomethingTravel.com for sharing my most recent ridiculous travel writing about my adventures at a Jewelry store in India.  My buddy was looking to buy a monkey figurine, but it turned out to be an “erotic monkey statue,” so some surgery had to be performed on its “Curious George,” and then craziness ensued.  Check out her site for the whole story!

    http://www.today.ucla.edu/portal/ut/d-c-center-gives-students-taste-151329.aspx

    Spending my Spring quarter at the UCLA Center for American Politics and Public Policy (CAPPP) was one of the best decisions I made — and it inspired me to want to come back to DC.  Check out this article to learn more about the program and what some of its alums are doing post-CAPPP.

    Thanks to Sosauce for publishing my article “The Taj Mahal: Yes it’s worth it.“  The title probably gives away my feelings on it, but check out the article for more photos and stories about it.

    Introducing the Ashoka Tech Podcast

    As many of you know, I’ve been working at Ashoka this semester starting, hosting, and producing a brand new podcast for them on the intersection of technology and social entrepreneurship.  I’m happy to say that it has officially gone live, and is now listed in the iTunes store!  You can subscribe to the podcast in which I interview social entrepreneurs about how they are changing the world through technology by following this link (which opens iTunes).

    Below is the official release about the podcast from Ashoka.  Thanks for checking it out!

    We’re excited to announce the very first episode of the AshokaTECH Podcast!  Join Host Alex Budak as he interviews Ashoka Fellows and Changemakers from around the world, discussing the ways in which they are leveraging technology for the social good.  The interviews bring you even closer to inspiring social entrepreneurs  as they discuss their big ideas, best practices for engaging in social enterprise, as well as tips and advice for budding social entrepreneurs.  In bringing you as close to these leaders as possible, make sure to follow Alex on Twitter, @TheBudak, where you’ll have the opportunity to submit questions for future interviews, and transform the podcast into a two-way communication in this cutting-edge field.

    The first episode features an interview with Ashoka-Lemelson Fellow, and founder of the World Toilet Organization, Jack Sim.  Jack joined the podcast from Singapore, and discussed the work he is doing to bring attention to sanitation issues worldwide, as well as his personal motto: “live a useful life.”  Along the way, Jack discusses how he mobilized a multinational coalition around sanitation issues, and tells listeners how they can participate in “World Toilet Day, 2009.
