How To Lose My Business
Yesterday I set out for one of our local malls in search of a new wristwatch. Yes, there are any number of things that I'd rather do than go shopping, such as getting a root canal, being beaten senseless by a band of malicious midgets, or even getting a hair cut. But, the back of my previous watch literally fell off last week as I was heading out the door to Las Vegas, and the cheap-o emergency replacement I picked up at the drug store was far from satisfactory. I'm a bit persnickety when... From Brain Frieze on May 1, 2005 at 5:52 p.m..

Hitchhiker's guide
Will everyone enjoy the Hitchhiker's movie? I can't say. It may help if you know at least the brief first book in the series -- I read it aloud to my 10 year old daughter recently, and we both enjoyed both the book and the movie quite a bit, but her 8 year old sister also enjoyed the movie without having that advantage. Best feminist moment -- it's a small thing, and I won't spoil it by telling the scene, but as the father of daughters and the spouse of a woman strong in body and mind...

Everything bad is good for you is good
I just finished Steve Johnson's new book, Everything Bad is Good for You, and not only do I think it'll climb the best-seller lists, I'll be glad when it does. [Disclosure: The book comes out May 5. Steve sent me bound galleys because we bonded at a conference last year. I was a major fan of his well before that.] EBIGFY is a persuasive essay. Forget the didactic assignments you got in English class. I've been reading Steve's stuff for some time now and I think I've discovered what makes his writing style so good: He thinks well.

Why Businesses, and School Administrators, Don't Blog
Earlier this week I was contacted by a freelance writer who is working on an article about why school administrator don't blog. His question was simple. Why aren't more school district and school administrators blogging?
