G5 Summit – Mexico Edition
|
It is the G5 Summit, Mexico Edition. Soundtrack kindly provided by Too Short and Ani DiFranco … we figured it was about time those two got on a video together. De La has posts on my voracious taco eating, our night with some red light friends, dinner plans gone wrong, and a collection of photos from Guanajuato while Jesus was carted around the city. Come to think of it, check out all his photos on Flickr – he’s got skills:

[Philanthropy] Stay Human
I hesitantly decided to become involved in philanthropy because I believe that civil society has an important role to play in bringing about a more sustainable, just, and well governed 21st century society. Businesses and governments have their fundamental roles

Fiscal Transparency (is Not Enough)
OpenSpending.org has simple goal that is extraordinarily difficult to achieve: wherever you may live, you enter in how much you earn per month, press a button, and poof, a stunning visualization of where your tax money goes. Let’s say I’m

Back to My Printing Press
I started blogging at el-oso.net in December 2003. I didn’t expect it to last long; mostly I wanted to keep a travel diary for a road trip around Mexico, and I figured, why not keep it on the Internet? Several

Conference-Slutting Toward Good Governance

The Carlsbad Marathon
It was about five o’clock in the morning when Cindylu, with her sweet little voice — all chamomile and honey — says, “Oso, you should probably put some vaseline in your butt crack.” That’s when I knew I was in

Pingback: Citizen Of The World Inc. » Blog Archive » Video: The G5 Summit In Mexico: Oso Drops The Vlog Skills: Dancing To The Playlist.
I just want to let everyone know that I owe my dance in the park routine to both Ronaldinho and Jackie Chan. Is it time for G5 Summit 2010 yet?
I think you guys might want to think about charging people to hang out with you. Could be like a Club Med all-inclusive package thing for poor bastards with no rhythm, taste in music, or soccer skills to pick up some pointers from the G5. You could give out badges like the boy scouts. Think of all the crazy summits that could fund.
Oh, and (with the caveat that I haven’t seen Noah’s skills in person) Alex is the best dancer in the G5.
i didn’t think i’d prefer a video summary of the g5 meetup more than a podcast, but that clip of alex dancing made it easier to decide.
Awesome vid, minus your pasty white torso and 5 guys listening to PM Dawn together in a car. Great production qualities too – did you put it together on Linux?
I’d totally throw it down against you in a tacos al pastor eating contest. Preferably after we race.
I sense a dance-off between Alex and me coming up…I know that’s really why he decided to come to NYC before David was going to be here

Lightning in the sky, cold wind in the air, and rain on the streets…quite a change from Mexico.
I made it into the photos on the top of Oso’s blog! One more goal in my life completed. I can’t help feeling kinda like a rockstar…I totally came up in like 3 pictures in the time it took me to write this comment
