To further celebrate National Poetry Month, we’ll share this small portion of Mozart Guerrier’s talk from the TEDxSyracuse University event earlier this week.
The words sound a lot like a love letter written to our city. Hopefully, the video of the entire talk will be available soon.

Ousman Diallo from the Bronx
Much respect to photographer and Newhouse grad student Ousman Diallo. We got to meet him and check out his lively portraiture last night at CFAC. He shot most of the pictures at Light Work, but a few were done during his time in Italy.
It is always good to see the city and it’s people from a different perspective.
Laughter Worth Sharing

Yvonne Conte-A Sophisticated Queen of Comedy
Can someone please tell us why Yvonne Conte does not have her own television show. Watching her at the TEDxSyracuse University event this week was like seeing Lily Tomlin, Tracey Ullman, or maybe even Tina Fey.
Though she is a public speaker now (and trains others in public speaking), Conte was once a stand-up comic.
From the time she began her talk…well, actually her talk began with a joke about a scheduling mistake…Conte worked the crowd like she was doing a SNL monologue.
Conte talked about the happiness advantage and how it relates to work place enthusiasm, and eventually productivity. She even allotted a portion of her time for the crowd to literally hold their bellies and belt out a laugh.
All TED talks should be this fun.
Salute to a Funky Drummer
April 10th, 2014Congratulations to the Syracuse New Times for the redesign, re-org, and also for recognizing the story behind the music of our friend Drummer Byron Cage. We particularly enjoyed the local connections column (Melissa Gardiner, Alex Boatman and Jesse Collins) that accompanied the article.
