How I use OneNote for my Dissertation

ProtoScholar:

Sometimes show is easier than tell.

Go see it. Very thoughtful organization.

My Four-Year-Old Son Plays Grand Theft Auto

Matthew Orona:

He didn’t beat any hookers with a baseball bat.  He didn’t deal drugs. He didn’t go on a murderous rampage. He certainly never once had a cup of hot coffee. He didn’t avoid these things because I told him he counldn’t try them. It just never occurred to him to commit these acts.

It’s the players that make controversial choices, not the game.

Once again, write in books that aren’t yours

Erin Doland:

These transparent sticky notes were amazing because they made it simple to write in books that aren’t yours or in books that you plan to sell or pass along to someone else.

Now that is brilliant, considering studying with books from your library. Why have I never seen these in the store?

iStudiez Pro : The Digital Homework Diary

David John:

To keep it simple if you are a student then iStudiez Pro needs to be on your iPhone or iPad.

At that price point, and with that fit and finish, this is a great app for school. It only goes to show the iOS limitations of not offering any proper integration with my actual calendar application.

Sleep Hack: A Simple Strategy For Better Rest In Less Time

Seth Simonds:

But I had no reason to stay in bed. Bed was cold. Bed was unwelcoming. I had slept. I was awake. The day had begun. As days slipped by, I continued to sleep on that fitted sheet and mattress. Each night I’d get tired around 10:30pm, drink some water, and fall asleep immediately. Each morning I’d wake, grab my towel and head to the shower. I no longer had to argue with myself over whether or not I’d get out of bed.

I first thought that this was an insane idea. Why would I deprive myself of the comfort of my bed? But, reading the astounding disccusion in the comments, I think I might give it a try.

6 Reasons for Digital Photography in Education

David John:

I have decided to look at six areas where photography could be used as a learning tool without swaying too far from the curriculum remembering the infinite benefits of introducing students to such an accessible art form.

Incredible idea. Take this to your local grammar schools.
