Where’s global warming?

by jon beebe in Uncategorized

The current global cooling “is nothing like anything we’ve seen since 1950,” Swanson told Discovery News. Yes, global cooling: 2008 was the coolest year of the past decade — global temperatures have not exceeded the record high measured in 1998, notwithstanding the carbon-dioxide that human beings continue to pump into the atmosphere.

College web design courses fail with bosses

by admin in Education

I read a great article on the failings of modern education in this rapidly evolving world. The author states

Web site development experts said in a recent survey that colleges and universities lag behind in using the latest in web design technology and ignore foundational lessons that would produce college graduates ready for the rapidly changing profession.

I can attest to this. Having recently graduated from higher education (recently meaning within the past 5 years.) They teach to much about the tool in front of you and not enough about the methodology behind why the tool works in the first place.
