Robo-Dave suggests:
- The Sins of PowerPoint. For the love of God, send this to all your business associates.
- How to maintain classroom discipline … 1950s style.
- Folks who do pot gardening are probably familiar with hydrogel crystals, which absorb water (and so can release it slowly into the soil). Some Italian researchers are working on a diet hydrogel pill — swallow with watter, and it swells up in your stomach and makes you feel full. Yeah, it’s not “diet and exercise,” but I could see it being handy for some people (or before a large, tempting dinner).
That classroom discipline video was actually not too bad. The class clowns always played on the teacher’s insecurities, and a secure teacher could always defuse our pranks while winning cooperation and classroom attention. Uh, I mean their pranks.
Actually, your point is well taken. It was just very … charmingly done … 🙂
