Social Media Revolution 2

tangled cords

I always keep one spare set of ear buds in a drawer in the end table next to my favorite reading chair.  Great for a quick grab when wanting to listen to something quickly on my laptop and not disturb my wife.  

However,......   it never fails to amaze me that the cord is always tangled and takes several minutes to resolve before using.     Does anyone else have this problem?

Change the structure of State University education NOW

Finally, some dramatic thoughts about education -- outside the box thinking.  Today's opinion section of the Des Moines Register has an opinion piece --  the key foundation of the discussion plays attention to restructuring the governance & funding of state universities in Iowa.  Costs of education have gotten ridiculous, and we continue to  allow the problem to continue to grow and manifest. Many good ideas noted.       Sunday opinion: Gartner says Iowa's state universities need to change quickly

Stuff,Stuff,Stuff.... I might just need it some day....

Are you a pack rat like me?   Confessions are good for the soul they say.    I think the challenge I have is trying to break the habit of keeping "stuff", 'cause I may need it tomorrow, or next month, or ....

The past year I have gone through a change -- by accomplishing various levels of focus upon PURGING.    Mainly paper, (I have numerous filing cabinets).   I must say I have made major strides in the cleansing process.   However, efforts have been sidelined, and Stuff is starting to accumulate again.   

One area that I have not looked into yet is electronic Stuff.   My goodness, I have tons of PC files that have not been touched for years / been copied over from old PC to new PC to newer PC. 

While I have not done any cleansing electonically, I have successfully developed a new strategy on emails -- I create my own trash can FILE (I don't trust the system generated one).   Unless I MUST keep it for some reason, after being read it goes to MY-Trash-Can.  Every few weeks I purge everything except the last few days.  At least I can recover something trashed if I threw it away yesterday.
