The New York Times: In the Classroom, Web Logs Are the New Bulletin Boards

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/19/technology/circuits/19blog.html?ex=1250568000&en=33627811ca310596&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland

"While such a question could have just as easily been posed during a classroom conversation, teachers who use blogs say that students put a lot more thought and effort into their blog writing." Um, MORE thought into blog writing? That's an interesting counter trend...

Overheard

“Life is either a daring adventure or it is nothing!”

...who said it?

“The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.”

...who said it?

“There are two ways to meet life; you may refuse to care until indifference becomes a habit, a defensive armor, and you are safe, but bored. Or you can care greatly, and live greatly, ‘til life breaks you on its wheel.”

...who said it?

“Adams’ Rule of Obvious Calamities: Any calamity that is foreseeable by the public at large won’t turn out so bad after all.”

...who said it?

“The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns, as it were, instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink.”

...who said it?
