Professor Charisse L’Pree sees selfies as the new poetry and encourages judicious sharing.
For her TEDx talk Professor Charisse L’Pree gave a pedestrian psycho-analysis of our need for selfies (a term that originated in 2002).
L’Pree, who will publish a book of her self-portraits, encourages healthy selfies and said different selfies meet different needs.
Maybe the Greatest (Central New York) Story Ever Told

Columnist Sean Kirst explains how one story becomes another story at TEDx Syracuse University.
We’ve seen him speak to community groups and interview celebrities, but deep down we think Sean Kirst is a griot, a storyteller. As a columnist/writer Kirst is a great mix of Gay Talese, Bob Greene and Pete Hamill, but at tonight’s TEDx event, he would have given six-figure keynote speakers such as Malcolm Gladwell a run for the money. In 20 minutes Kirst told what we think is possibly the most memorable tale (minus scandal) we’ve heard pertaining to this region.
Do yourself a favor, when they post the video, make sure to check out “At the Lighthouse…”

Syracuse Chiefs came home to defend their division crown under mostly sunny skies and warm temperatures yesterday.
Here are a few photographs from yesterday’s home opener for the Syracuse Chiefs.
Syracuse Silver Knights defender Nelson (Nelly) Santana came to show his support, and was in the running for best hat at the ballpark.
Mariah Adigun attended the game with her family and sang the National Anthem.
Smokin: 96-year old Betty Sterzer, a Chiefs fan for generations, threw out a ceremonial first pitch.
Tony Gwynn Jr. got a great reception from the Syracuse crowd during introductions.
Hope Springs Eternal: Opening Day is all about optimism and infectious enthusiasm.
Shortstop Emmanuel Burriss turns a bunt into an infield single in the bottom of the third inning.
Opening Day is always about the fans, but by the time the sun had set, the Chiefs defeated Scranton/WB 10-2.
