I'd favor video lectures. What you're proposing is pretty ambitious for teen learners, so (posted) videos will allow them to rewatch them, pause to take notes, etc. Good luck!

Of course! I carry index cards with me and write things down as they occurred to me. Eventually they end up in Tinderbox, a Macintosh-only application (www.eastgate.com). It takes some learning, but it is very versatile!

I think this idea could work, and I don't see why an experiment couldn't be done on Github--after all, it'd all be just text files. People could fork, say, a short story, rewrite parts, and submit a pull request; the original

I am very sorry to hear about this news, which it sounds like is hitting you really hard. Such sudden devestations happen in every life, and I'm wondering if this is the first time you've ever felt so threatened. If so, the first time can f

Yes, but with risk. Index stock and bond funds yield in that range, with much less volatility. I've been using them since 2008 and have gotten an average of over 10% annually. I suggest the book I used, _The Only Guide to a Winning Investme

I have to put my vote in for Dan Bricklin's Note Taker HD (for iPad). I've taken close to 100 pages of notes with it. It's great for packing lots of info onto one page, and it's very versatile.

It's a great idea--I hope you go far with it. One thing that might encourage people to use it is to create some activity that measures fitness/capacity, then let them track it over time so they can see improvement.

I've been programming in Clojure for 2 years and still consider myself a beginner. (Re. #2) Because of Clojure's immutability, you program differently than you would in a state-based language (most mainstream languages). So learning Clojure

Your points are all valid, and well-stated. In addition, I think there's a place for direct action with your buying power. Workers will continue to work under worse and worse conditions until consumers say "Stop--there's no justification fo
