George Orwell’s 5 Rules for Effective Writing 2007-03-23 02:45:00 In our society, the study of language and literature is the domain of poets, novelists, and literary critics. Language is considered a decorative art, fit for entertainment and culture, but practically useless in comparison to the concrete sciences. Just look at the value of a college degree in English versus one in computer science or accounting.read more | digg storyhttp://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/naOQ Read more:George

Do You Always Wash Your Hands? 2007-03-16 14:46:00 I have a confession to make: I do not wash my hands very often. Sometimes, after using the restroom, I don't wash my hands. There are a myriad of reasons for this: I'm in a hurry, the restroom sink is as disgusting as the urinal and sometimes I just don't feel like it.People may repulse at shaking my hand now, but evidentially I am not alone: according to a recent study done at several airports across the country, they observed that as much as 30 percent of the people using the restroom do not wash their hands afterward. Women are better hand washers than men, 92% of all women wash their hands as compared to 69% of all men.The Mayo Clinic web site is a big advocate of washing hands, they tout it as your single best defense from getting sick; although in another post they say it will help you from getting sick, but you can wash your hands like a mental patient and still get sick if you are around sick people.According to Mayo, you should wash your hands after: * Eating or sna Read more:Hands
Top 5 Things That Should Be Taught In Every School 2007-03-14 14:51:00 I can’t speak for schools outside the United States, but for those readers who went to school in America, I think you’ll agree that the American education system is in sore need of an upgrade. The world is changing at such a rapid pace and it’s my strong opinion that there should be more classes dedicated to helping students prepare and cope with the real world once they graduate.If you look at this generation of students, you’ll find that most are “shell shocked” once they graduate because they had little or no preparation for what was to come.High school mostly teaches you to memorize information and to regurgitate it back to your teacher, only to completely erase the information from your mind the moment you walk out after taking the test.When you go on to college, you do a bit of the same things, but you also learn to think analytically, critically, and to broaden your mind so to speak, but even people who graduate from college will learn lessons from the real world the Read more:School

How to Become a Digg Top User (without doing anything shady) » 10e20 - Search, Design & Social 2007-03-07 16:11:00 The more powerful the user is that submits your story to Digg
- the better chance it has of making the homepage. Despite the fact that Digg removed Top User rankings last month your place in the line is as important as ever. Why? * Friends - the more friends you have, the more diggs you will get. Many people digg all of their friend’s submissions - the more popular you are the more friends you will have. * Trust - for the most part the top users are looked at as more trustworthy and for good reason - they have earned it.The more stories of yours that hit the homepage and become popular - the easier it becomes for subsequent stories to become popular. The more powerful your account is - the easier it will be to get your stories to the Digg homepage (resulting in increased traffic, brand awareness and most importantly - links).http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/naOQ Read more:Become

THE PRETZEL LOGIC OF VEGETARIANISM 2007-03-01 16:14:00 From Ted Rall:Vegetarians claim there is simply no spiritual defense in either the Western or Eastern religious traditions for eating meat: Animals are sentient beings and their deaths causes them great pain and suffering. But this spiritial defense does not apply to plants. The argument that killing plants matters less than killing animals defies logic.http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/naOQ
Laura Bush On Iraq 2007-02-27 23:34:00 Proving that you don't have to be an official member of the Bush administration to be completely wrong about Iraq
, in an appearance on last night's Larry King Live, Laura
Bush weighed in with her deep thoughts: "And many parts of Iraq are stable now. But, of course, what we see on television is the one bombing a day that discourages everybody."Yes, it's that one bombing a day that's getting us all down. But of course, as is often (always) the case with her husband, reality tells another story. And reality says that during this week alone, there has been 34 bombings in Iraq, which works out to nearly 5 a day.http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/naOQ Read more:Laura Bush
I Love You 2007-02-27 15:18:00 Yesterday, I was snooping on my son's Myspace page (hey I'm a parent, gimme a break) and saw post from his girlfriend that ended with "I Love You". Whoa. They are 14. I know they have no concept of love at this age and these are words that are on the same level as "You are so neat" at their age, but it was still weird to see someone else tell him they loved him outside of our family. No matter how hard I try, the world continues to turn.Family, Lovehttp://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/naOQ
"Breakdown in leadership" blamed for plight of wounded soldiers 2007-02-22 16:57:00 A top army general blamed
"a breakdown in leadership" for poor living conditions of wounded
soldiers at the US Army's renowned Walter Reed Medical Center.What I think alot of people lose sight of is the fact that besides the number of poor souls killed in Iraq that we get to see on the Internets, there are thousands of more wounded soldiers coming home as well. Ad what are they coming home to? Shit treatment, shit conditions and no support from the government that they gave their bodies to in the first place.Just another reason to hate the Bush administration.http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/naOQ

Seth's Blog: Starting over with customer service 2007-02-21 15:05:00 Customer service is broken. Not just because of bad management, though we have plenty of that to go around. Customer service is broken for three reasons:1. The internet has taught us to demand everything immediately (and perfect). As a result, we expect that every single time we pick up the phone or deal with someone in a retail setting, we'll be dealing with the Senior Vice President of Customer Satisfaction, the head of accounting and the chief of quality control, all at the same time. We expect instant results and undivided attention.2. The rapid proliferation of choice has taught us to demand that everything should be cheap. As a result, we won't pay extra for superior service, which means companies need to hire cheap.3. The availability of blogs and other public histories means that it is harder than ever to treat different customers differently. Word gets out.As a result of these three inexorable trends, companies are on defense. They are forced to add a new layer to their pyra
