feebeeglee: Do they dare?

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:42:22 -0500

Today I rediscovered (as in, found it behind a bookcase) one of my favorite books as a child, The Berenstain Bears and the Spooky Old Tree. I loved it as a kid and remembered lingering over the illustrations. My kids love it just as much as I did, and Gloria [...]

Facebook just offered me this as an advertisement option. Usually, I get ads telling me that President Obama wants me to go back to school (nooooooo! I've been there already!), or ads insinuating that at my advanced age, I need to buy stuff to ward off aging. I just' [...]

Whose Planet Is It Anyway?: Community and Respect

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:20:00 -0500

Number of comments: 2
In the military, as Clay describes in the first post of an excellent series on leadership training and respect, officers salute not only other officers but also enlisted personnel. This is not simply because of regulations and tradition, but because the salute signifies mutual respect between people working together [...]

Sheila Schoonmaker: My Tags and Posts

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:23:54 -0500

Presently, I have 419 tags. Because I’ve become inconsistent in how I’ve used tags (thanks mostly to indecision), my tags are not useful in helping visitors to find what they may want to read.

Unless I’m mistaken, tags for internet search engines (called “meta tags”) are not quite the same thing [...]

Woodjie goes to preschool soon, and it's going to be so special. Too bad it has to be in this district, and too bad for me that I'm heavily invested in this house and didn't know back when I was house-hunting what I know now...

I went to get [...]

Saifulislam.Com: ‘Call Me Irresponsible’

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:41:17 -0500

Menelusi perkembangan politik semasa sungguh membingungkan.

Saya pula banyak memikirkan kesan kebingungan itu kepada generasi pelapis.

Kelemahan kompetensi, boleh dimaafkan oleh pengundi. Ia boleh dibentuk, diajar oleh mereka yang berkeahlian, dan pengalaman serta masa adalah sebahagian daripada rawatannya. Tetapi apabila integriti yang dipersoalkan, segalanya menjadi rumit.

Ketidakpuasan hati pengundi tidak [...]

Thank God for search engines. If not for them, we would still leafing through big, thick and old-fashioned encyclopedias. We would be at a loss if it weren’t for search engines. The internet has replaced a lot of things and made life easier and better for us. We need to [...]
