A Special Thank YouMaintenance funding is covered in part from a grant through the Gordon Chandler Memorial Fundof The Columbus Foundation. An additional Thank You goes to Sherwin-Williamsfor donating the paint for the ship.
SHIP TEMPORARILY CLOSING The city is closing the Santa Maria on October 19, 2013 in order to continue work on the Greenway Dam removal project. We are scheduled to reopen in the spring of 2016. As such, The Haunted Ship Events initially scheduled for October 24-26th have been cancelled.
THE WORLD WAS FOREVER CHANGED when, in 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail searching for a direct trade route to the Indies. Carrying him was the Santa Maria, a 98-foot wooden "nao", or typical cargo ship. More than 500 years later, you can tour the world's most authentic, museum-quality replica of Christopher Columbus' flagship. Guided tours dramatize the daring and determination it took for these explorers to set out on their mission. Fascinating displays show the far-ranging impact of the encounter of two worlds that existed in 1492.

The rise of social media has posed a challenge to the well-known. That challenge: working social media without being forced to work too hard on social media. After all, if you're rich and/or famous, blogging and tweeting is more likely to seem like a burden on your lifestyle than, say, a pastime.
An obvious solution: hire a ghostwriter. Which is precisely what many business executives, media personalities, professional athletes and celebrities have done. The February issue of Entrepreneur Magazine goes behind the scenes and profiles some of the 'ghostbloggers' who blog and tweet for well-known clients.
The article, 'The Ghost Speaks', makes for an interesting read if you're involved in the business side of social media. After all, words like 'authenticity' and 'transparency' are repeated time and time again at social media conferences. Yet the rise of the ghostblogger reminds us that the social media ideals and best practices that get discussed academically are not always the way the business operates in the real world.
The question is: is it good business? When dissecting the touchy subject of ghostwriting, it's worth noting that ghostwriting isn't new. While blogs and online communities may have turned ghostwriting into a growth industry again, it's an industry that precedes the internet.
But the internet does pose some new challenges:
- There's often the expectation of authenticity. There are people writing their own blogs and tweets.
- The internet can be unforgiving. If your fans believe "it's really you" and it's later discovered that it isn't, watch out. At the very least, you can expect your fans to lose interest because, after all, it isn't you.
- Standing out is hard to do. With just about everyone jumping on the social media bandwagon, attracting and maintaining attention can be really hard to do.
- Social media is social. From Shaq to Ashton Kutcher, when you look at the people who have been truly successful in building up a following, one thing is clear: nothing beats positive interactions with fans. Social media isn't a one-way street. That means ghostwriters have to be more than just your writer; they have to become you. That, of course, is a tall order.
There is risk. According to Entrepreneur Magazine, some ghostwriters charge up to $100 per post. And some charge up to $500 a month for daily tweets. Not bad for the ghostwriter, but when you're a media personality with a multi-million dollar brand, do you really want to put that brand in the hands of someone who is making even $2,000/month?
For anyone grappling with hiring a ghostwriter, these challenges can be tough to address. This isn't a black and white subject. Under certain circumstances, hiring a ghostwriter may be completely unadvisable; in others, it may be acceptable.
For those who do go the ghostwriter route, a few tips:
- Don't 'outsource' your personality or creativity. Think of a ghostwriter as a writing assistant, not servant. The people who are interested in what you have to say want to hear what you have to say. Even if you're not writing your blogs and tweets word for word, make sure that your creativity, personality, passion and originality are what's being conveyed. In other words, if you're asking your ghostwriter to do all the work, why bother maintaining a blog or Twitter account in the first place?
- Think twice about lying. Sometimes, honesty really is the best policy. Consider what you really gain before explicitly conveying the message that your blog posts and tweets are yours alone when they really aren't.
- Be careful who you hire. A good ghostwriter takes the words out of your mouth. Hire the wrong one, however, and he or she might put words in it. That's why it's so important to choose the right person. Ideally, you're looking for someone who knows a bit about you or what you do, and that you genuinely like and get along with. While a track record is nice, you don't necessarily want someone who writes for 10 other people. Focus more on finding someone who 'feels' you and understands your business or lifestyle. Pass over the uber-professionals who look at you as just another $500.
At the end of the day, there's one truth to social media: like real relationships, you get out what you put in. Whether you're blogging and tweeting on your own or having someone help, that rule always applies.

Passive House Arrives in North America:
Could It Revolutionize the Way We Build?
I'm old enough to remember the passive-solar and superinsulation movements in the late 1970s. In 1976, I was involved with passive solar design while at college, where a group of us studied energy self-sufficiency, and in 1978 I moved to Santa Fe to work with the New Mexico Solar Energy Association, which was leading the charge in advancing passive solar energy.
While lower oil prices in North America erased much of our interest in these ideas during the 1980s, by then these concepts had migrated to Europe, where high energy taxes were keeping interest in alternatives high. Now the ideas of passive solar and superinsulation are back—in a much smarter way—with the Passive House movement.

Ray Ozzie bringing 'syncromesh' to the Web
Ray Ozzie has a history of trying to break through software and usability barriers. With Lotus Notes, he and his team spent years creating the underlying client/server collaboration technology to enable synchronization, or replication of e-mail online and offline.
His second major initiative, Groove Networks, took the synchronization and collaboration concept into the peer-to-peer realm, allowing individual PCs to communicate directly with one another.
Groove Networks was sold to Microsoft in March 2005, and Ozzie began his next major iteration on a much bigger stage, as Microsoft's chief software architect.
Ozzie teased the next evolution of his decades-long … Read more
