The three topic options for a term paper in my freshman philosophy class didn’t interest me at all. I looked over the requirements for our term papers – we wrote four over the course of the semester – and thought that it doesn’t explicitly say I had to write on the assigned topics to get an A grade. Knowing that the paper with the lowest grade got dropped from the calculation for our final course grade, I took a risk. I wrote a paper in flawless logic proving that, “Students in Philosophy 110 don’t have to write on the assigned topics in order to get an A on their term papers.” [Read more...]

Highly-paid directors and executives have asked for my help to perform some very complicated tasks: inserting images into PowerPoint and basic formatting on Word documents. Seriously. Now, I’m not belittling their ignorance – “We’re all ignorant on different subjects.” I’m simply wondering if basic computer skills aren’t what brings in the high compensation, then which skills do?

The majority of traffic for this site actually comes from search engine results on a few key articles. One of them is How to Think for Yourself. In fact, a Google search on the (exact) phrase of how to think for yourself ranks this article above a similar article by top blog site Lifehacker, and above some similarly worded items in Wikipedia.

I didn’t pay any service to list links to the article and didn’t perform any search engine optimization “tricks.” I followed a simple posting process that I use for all my articles.

As of now I’ve got about ~90 followers on Twitter. Oh wait…91! I haven’t employed any tricks to get thousands of people to auto-follow my profile so that number’s relatively low.

Twitter has much more value to me as a learning tool. [Read more...]
