The Art of Blogging

Idle thought: The art to quality blogging is to read the news, not other blogs. Reading the news, you can have an interesting take on the news. Reading a blog, the interesting take is already there. Having an interesting take on someone else's interesting take is twice removed from the spice of current events.

Shaving

Shaving is blood sport. The Romans had it all wrong. They should have set those gladiators up with a bowl of cold water and a dull razor and had them shave. If more than 1 gladiator survived, then the one with the least blood lost win.

Teach or be Taught

If we stop learning, we're dead.

Among the best ways to learn something is to teach it.

Those who can, do, those who can't teach. George Bernard Shaw.
One of the more stupider things ever said in life.

Teaching is a noble calling, up there with call waiting and the call of the wild.

Teaching is a noble calling. Tell Lord Gloucester that I'll be with him in a second.

Idle thoughts on teaching

Depend upon it, sir, when a man knows he is to teach in a few hours, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.

Idle thoughts on language and ripping
