What are your thoughts on media coverage of disasters and how this affects the way people give donations? For example, a hugely covered crisis like the earthquake in Haiti vs. underreported, perhaps slower and more pervasive but no less dire situations such as a famine? How do you deal with the imbalance of donations that can arise?

Yes! I love CW (and want to write a book about living history museums some day because of it), and one of my favorite memories (many are of food) is of a lunch of cheese, bread, and apples in the back courtyard there. (Unless I'm confusing it with a bakery...)

Hi, thanks for the AMA! I'm an SAT tutor, and we teach our students to sort of shift the given topic toward one of a few essays they've already practiced - one on heroes, one on creativity, one on progress/technology, and one on individual morals. (Most essay topics seem to fall into one of these categories, anyway.)

Would you give a lower score to an essay like this that sort of steered the question in a slightly different direction?

How do you manage your freelance/entrepreneurial workdays? Jordan, I remember this was a challenge for you when you left Fuel. I'm a writer and teacher and sometimes struggle with apathy/laziness during the "work"-day - I'd love to hear how working from home or as your own boss goes for you guys.
