Lessons from the SoapBlox hacker fiasco
[asset|aid=1084|format=image|formatter=asset|title=hacked.jpg|width=166|height=135|align=right|resizable=true]SoapBlox, a site that powers many progressive blogs, was hacked earlier this week. They took down four of their servers to minimize the spread of the damage, and the individual who ran SoapBlox declared defeat. (He’s since taken down the post, but you can still read the text at DailyKos.)
I don’t suggest reading most of the comments on that thread, but Karl-Thomas of Burnt Orange Report notes:
Leadership Academy Pre-Group Coaching Call 4: Avoiding Burnout Question

And, how do you manage it?
Strategy for Success: Short-term focus or long-term sustainability?
In addition to serving as one of Young People For's Leadership Academy Fellow, I am currently applying to medical school. Last weekend, I had the pleasure of attending a pre-medical conference with other members of the UC Berkeley Biology Scholars Program, a pipeline program that provides academic and social support for underrepresented students in the math and sciences.
