Gamification seems like a cool concept, and honestly one I don’t know enough about to talk about it here. Still, I’m sure colleges will manage to take the wrong message out of it. So what are your suggestions for bad college achievements? Post them in the comments below.
Thanksgiving is a wonderful and happy holiday. Like most wonderful and happy things in life, one shouldn’t probably think too much about it. Happy Thanksgiving.
Back around the early to mid-90s when virtual reality technology was really taking off I remember people talking about kids sitting at home and taking classes virtually. I guess that did eventually happen with online education, but thank goodness it doesn’t involve helmets.

Listen in to any motivational speaker if you need evidence that language is malleable and not set in stone. They’re constantly redefining words in goofy ways. Sometimes, like with apex, they even stick. Yes, I have heard people proclaim they will soar past their apex. Apparently they will invert themselves somehow, I suppose.

I admit it–I don’t understand the concept of a life coach. I’m sure they provide a valuable service to some people, but the usefulness escapes me. Every time I hear the term I think of Bob Newhart telling patients to just stop what they’re doing. Can you really make money doing so?
