Volunteering...

Anyone volunteered at this place?

I may be heading there this weekend with some high school students on a community service project.

Cincinnati's Power 100

I love this kind of ranking stuff. If you are one of the original readers of Now, you'll remember a lame spin off of ESPN's 'Who's Now'? segment I tried to do about Cincinnati people. I guess this list may be a little better.

Link to the article.

I wonder about something though... where is my listing? How is the author and editor of Now not mentioned? Interesting. Maybe I'm a top 150? Maybe I was accidentally left off. An inadvertent omission.

Poppe's Secret

They say it seemed like he was always awake, never asleep, roaming the streets in the white van. Well, I've discovered Chic Poppe's secret.

Check out this article.

In what sounds like a dream for millions of tired coffee drinkers, Darpa-funded scientists might have found a drug that will eliminate sleepiness.

Chic Poppe - Retiring

Pretty neat article about Chic Poppe on Cincinnati.com. I'd have to agree, the guy was everywhere.

I'd see him at any major event I went to in Cincinnati. I'm pretty sure I saw him at the Thanksgiving Day Race. (He missed me for an interview though...)

Another Educational Thought...

By Thomas Sowell and his "Random Thoughts December 2007"

"Teaching is very easy if you don't care about doing it right and very hard if you do."

"The Problem with Teachers..."

A funny and motivational video for teachers...




Found this guy's website. His name is Taylor Mali. Here is a link to his website. He is a really interesting guy. Big time into education, bettering our current educational system and recruiting talented people into that field.

He's pretty funny and his website is unique.

Is Our Educational System Educating People...

...out of their creative capacities?

Interesting video clip.
