Later...

I said I would come back, and so here I am.

Today's communication class entails the importance of accuracy, clarity, completeness and fairness. I find this interesting.

I use the word interesting not in the euphemistic sense which is code word or boring or weird, but rather for the irony.

Being a long-time reader of major news networks and news papers, I have seen exceptions to every one of those rules.

This is not condoning the mistakes of these major networks. It's not even a commentary on the failures of others. I simply find it entertaining to think that these multimillion dollar corporations don't follow the same rules which are placed upon us as students.

Now, to be fair, these mistakes tend to be uncommon enough that spotting them is more of a unique experience instead of an every day occurrence.

Even so, the act of the matter remains that there must be something equally, or more important which pulls at the common reader, besides the matters which are taught in these general rules.

What is the class which teaches about this separate factor called? Is there such a class?

It seems as though there are may such instances in a variety of fields, where some invisible factor is the  most important factor in a given career.

Why is it, I wonder, that the most important points or factors in the success of a vocation, field of research or hobby are the ones which are hardest to teach or describe?

There's my rant for the moment.

Much ado about Books

Yeah, the title is cliche, so sue my lawyer. He has more money than me.

    When was the last time you read a book which simply floored you? Where you read an intro, a descriptive  dialogue, an entirely profound way of thinking, whatever.

     Because it's been a while or me. I admit that I've slowed my reading habits somewhat over the years, but I've tried to make up for it by reading from a greater variety of international authors. And honestly, nothing seems to get me like it used to.

     I remember the good old days when every story about a knight saving a princess from a dragon was an exciting page turner. Now, I just find myself bored. Does anyone else suffer from this?

     More later.

Good morning and welcome.
Unless it happens to be afternoon or night time wherever you may be, in which case you are not welcome. Well, maybe just a bit.

I mean, there's no need to be unnecessarily rude.
