Just in case you were wondering.

Tricked you. No insight here. Enjoy your day.

Cheating

Steven Rossi — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 20:20:54 +0000

Two great news items on cheating, both of which you’ve probably already seen:

First, an article from a guy who writes papers for cheating students.

Second, a story (with video) of a professor who caught 200 students cheating and wanted to teach them a lesson. Should this guy have been tougher on them?

When It Rains . . .

After putting some pizza in the freezer the other day for thirteen seconds and having it turn into a block of ice, we moved it to the fridge for ten minutes before taking it out and putting it on the stove to cool off. You can see our predicament.

You’ll be happy to know that both the sink and refrigerator have been fixed as a result of this email.

Pride

The pursuit of mediocrity is not a solution to pride. Humility is.

Blog Action Day 2010 – Will Smith

Steven Rossi — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 18:20:21 +0000

I was going to write about something really emotionally gripping and spiritually significant today, but in figuring out what I was going to write I stumbled on Charity:Water’s website. They’re doing a contest right now which offers three winners the opportunity to go to Africa. With Will Smith. And his wife. Seriously? Will Smith? Sign me up.

Happy Blog Action Day.

Didn’t expect that one, did you?

Facebook Continues to Innovate

Facebook Blog:

First, we’re launching one-time passwords to make it safer to use public computers in places like hotels, cafes or airports. If you have any concerns about security of the computer you’re using while accessing Facebook, we can text you a one-time password to use instead of your regular password.

Facebook has announced today they’ll be releasing two new tools: a one-time password for on-the-go use and remote logout functionality. The latter isn’t new, but the one-time password idea is a creative solution to the problem of accidentally saving a password on a public computer. Facebook has come up with some really innovative—although not necessarily major—features. Reminiscent of Google, eh? Give ‘em five years.

On Humpty Dumpty: An Ode to NT Wright

Steven Rossi — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 17:40:03 +0000

Have you seen this? Hilarious.

Jason Hood:

But all the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put humpty together again.

So the Temple will be built again, but not by human hands. Many have undertaken to suggest that this passage runs counter to a belief in resurrection. But this atomistic reading of the text lacks imagination. Of course, it is the king himself who will put humpty together again, and this great act will complete the metanarrative.

Blogging While Bored

John Saddington:

I have gone further, faster, because I like what I do and have a blast doing it. The “fun” meter helps me tell if I’m in the right place and helps me be as productive as I am.

And when I’m not I simply take a break, and wait. Perhaps for a brief moment or a long time.

A bored blogger is a boring blogger!

Easy as could be and will save your power cord. I’ve been wrapping my laptop’s cord like this for a while, and it’s worked like a dream.
