For some reason, I had the urge to make a pit stop (total understatement right there) here in the blogosphere to throw some traffic to some notable pages:
- While perusing my beta persai account (it finally launched today!), I created an interest consisting of the keyword “persai” just to scope out how much coverage they’ve received today. I’m still not sure of the quality of the recommendations at this point since I was recommended this link:
13 Questions To Ask Before Publishing A Post On Your Blog
But I think persai’s recommendations improve the more you use it to reject irrelevant content. Nonetheless, I found a good read…err list of key points every blogger should consider before polluting the Internet.
- Speaking of good reads/quality blogging, check out one of my favorite bloggers/comic artists/RIT’ers, Dave Morgan (ladies: he’s single
— not sure if this is true anymore!):

Love the topics and comics. =)
- I am no political junkie, but I certainly got a kick out of this clip of radio host Mark Larsen bashing Mitt Romney after running away from their interview (who successfully got him to change his vote to Ron Paul!):
- I’ve always been interested in education and what it takes to effectively teach. In my MBA Consulting class, my team is working on increasing enrollment and retention at an alternative-style school that claims it’s “where children love to learn.” It’s clear that these bright young intellectuals truly love to be at their school. Why so many students dread learning and can’t seem to retain information is a wonder to me. Is it the content? the mode of transferring this information? the student?
Every week as a CS student instructor, I ask myself how I can present material in a way that students can actually enjoy and grasp. How do you get the stuff to stick? Well one article I found while doing some research, suggested to tell stories:

Thinking back to my own experiences, the most remembered professors always told great stories.
…and now back to what I should have been doing instead of blogging!
