It still assumes that the teacher has the most influence over their students, rather than the parents & the environment. I do not know if studies show results one way or the other here (suspect it's rather hard to tease apart). A possib

I would mark your 'at some point' as pretty early on in the life of the WWW. When web bugs were first introduced (1995? 1997?), there was a huge hew & cry, much along the lines of what we see on HN every time Facebook does something stu

And what should he do? He plays the system that's there. At least he's honest enough to say the system that's there is tilted in his favor. But, I do ask the question seriously? Run for government? Fund progressive candidates who would rais

I see young people buying farms as a form of back-to-the-land. Localism seems to capture eating locally grown foods & buying locally made goods. Not saying these are real movements with web sites and books about them, just words to capt

I suspect some of the political upheaval in America is growing from the disjunction between American ideals with American reality (taking many forms of expression - Tea Party, nativism, corporatism, escapism, back-to-the-land movements, loc

The work is not only the flash of the new shiny. Those pesky issues and small annoying bugs are part of the work. Try to raise your perspective from 'what's new' to 'what's great' and 'what's great' requires focusing on what the client need

I'll venture a guess - there hasn't been enough clear focus on what Java7 will be and there's been a long gap between 6 & 7 (4yrs versus 2yrs for previous versions). Combined with Oracle's acquisition of Sun, there are a lot of question

Try it and see. More will have a deeper effect, but I believe that any amount of focused mind-clearing has great effect (even 3 focused deep breaths at times throughout the day helps clear the head).
