How often have you seen a movie like Civil War in iMax and got closeups of the stars. Oppenheimer did it with detailed inspection of faces from about an inch away. I’m fan of movie stars in all their glory, but do we need the dermatology exam camera work? That’s the visual effect of […]
REWRITING HISTORY: HOW HARD CAN IT BE
April 15, 2024 by
People are rewriting history all of the time and don’t know it. If you repeat what you’ve heard to one person, and it turns out to be not accurate, what’s the big deal? Not so big for one person, but what if you repeat what you know to be false to millions of people? Do […]
TOO MUCH? TOO MANY? WHEN CAN YOU TELL

An old lesson plan? From Aristotle? Who needs one with new lessons every day? More like who doesn’t? Sometimes it takes a while for things to sink in.
BLOGGER’S ROLE? IT DEPENDS ON . . . ?
March 5, 2024 by
The blogger’s role depends on context. And money. If someone offered you $25,000 per post, and they give suggestions? Come on, you’d listen, I’d listen. Who wouldn’t listen? But who would start writing?
