What’s the proof of your education?

Sep 27

Just listened to Diane Ravitch, the Research Prof. at New York University, talk about the perils of the current focus of test scores as the measure of how well America’s children are being educated.

Apart from the apparent shennanigans going on around manipulating test scores to meet Government standards, her assessment that the focus on test scores is ineffective to the goals of education reminded me of my own educational experience.

Despite two degrees, I no longer consider them as “proof” of my education. You see when I grew up, and this still seems to be the case according to Ms. Ravitch, the focus was to pass exams, to “get” your education. Your education was also referred to as that “piece of paper” that diploma… Continue reading

Thoughts about thoughts about Michael

Jul 29

Interesting to see how there seems to be nothing but love for Michael Jackson now that he’s gone. Jay Leno’s late night joke that the reason we were all so so curious about Michael Jackson is because he’s like the ultimate car accident. You just have to slow down and look. Ha,ha. Doesn’t seem nearly so funny now.

I see this change also in myself. I had been a staunch defender of Michael’s innocence when the first accusation was made. I defended the plausibility of a man lost in childhood who was well advised to pay to make a false accusation go away rather than… Continue reading

News at the speed of light

“My dad didn’t wake up this morning. I’m sure you’ll all hear about it. It hasn’t yet hit me but it’s about to.” This was a tweet from Billy Mays’ Jr. breaking the news of the death of his father, legendary pitch man Billy Mays on Sunday June 28th 2009.

Just to get a sense of the speed at which news travels today, consider that it used to take weeks for word to spread to other parts of the country and months for some parts of the world. News of Michael Jackson’s death was spread before he was officially pronounced dead and news of the legendary pitch man’s was broken by his son’s tweet ”

At the turn of the century the outbreak… Continue reading

Move over email and Twitter, Google Wave is coming

Recently, I was reading “Why Twitter Will Soon Become Obsolete” by Jason Clark . Very well written and insightful piece that was another reminder of how rapidly change is coming at us.

Jason makes the case that while micro-blogging – the 140 character limit of posts (tweets) that Twitter pioneered – is here to stay, there is no reason to believe that Twitter itself will have the staying power of say a Google, Apple or Microsoft. The marketplace is littered with the dead and dying business entities that once generated all of the buzz that Twitter now enjoys e.g. Netscape, AOL, Friendster and MySpace to name a few.

But apart from marketplace vagaries that are hard to explain even after they have occurred (read… Continue reading

Thoughts on Steve Irwin

Dec 03

I wrote this 7 Sept 2006 a couple days after his death. Thought I would post it here as a tribute to a true life practitioner.

Don’t know why the passing of someone I’ve never met could affect me this way, – last time I felt like this was the passing of Princess Diana – but I am really saddened by the sudden passing of Steve Irwin.

What is it that could cause me to feel this way, and I know it’s not just me. The emotion felt by thousands of people the world over is being expressed in newspapers, TV, the internet in homes and bars. For me I think it was the joy he felt and projected in doing what he loved. Steve

Communism 2.0?

Nov 26
2008

Leave a
Comment

Well I’m no Thomas Friedman and no, I am not a communist. Look at my picture (click on “About”) – does that look like the face of a communist? The reason I’m writing this post is because I wonder if two famous communist rallying cries are actually coming to pass in our world today.

(1) “Workers of the world unite.” (Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels)

In the Communist Manifesto, Marx believed that communism would arise from a revolution of the international (my italics) working class. He believed that each person’s work, and how they worked was entirely personal and individual, and that the capitalist mode of production necessarily alienated the worker class because it forced the worker to essentially give up his inherent creativity to produce in… Continue reading

Remember Pons and Fleischmann?

These were the guys that announced to the world that they had solved cold fusion. For those of you who have no idea what cold fusion is, it is the ability to release energy (more energy than it takes to cause the cold fusion) from water at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. It would have been a safe, cheap, renewable, environmentally-friendly way to produce energy. It turns out that no one else in the scientific community could reproduce the results (sort of essential for it to have been a real scientific discovery), but I always wondered about this technology and what it would mean to the world if it were true.

Now in case youâ€™re wondering how this relates to living your life as a practice, which… Continue reading
