Sharing of "Your So-called Education"

This article from the New York Times exactly counters the Texas governor's wish for "$10,000 degree" plans, and evaluation of professors largely by student reviews. If you are of an age to be working your way through a college or university or if you have close relatives who are, please take the time to read this.

The NYTimes had a problem recently, as did at least one friend, who reported the problem to me. You're using your browser, cruising along, when...all of a sudden...POP!...up pops a problem.

"Take Back the Beep" Campaign

Frustrated by the time it takes to access your cell recorded messages left by others? Well, then, this article may allow you to vent and possibly affect how the phone carriers are doing business in that regard. The author, NYTimes writer David Pogue, tells of the obscene profits generated by all of us waiting 15 seconds or more to gain access to our messages or leave messages on another's service.

!!! Google, gurgle, blub!!!

I just finished reading an interesting but worried note on the NYTimes Media & Advertising segment on-line, titled "Google Seduces With Utility". In the guise of seeming to worry about the ubiquity of Google tentacles into his life, the author manages to expose all the new and exciting products and tools the company has available for one low price: free. If you worry about such things, this is a good read. If you revel in such things, this is a good read. If you just want to find out what is going on and hear the buzz, this is a good read.

Or tell me why you don't want to.
