Cool video documenting father-daughter project of filming crabs. How many school projects give you enough time for many Iteration-s? How many would give a good grade for still failing after 2 tries? Actually, you shouldn't get a good grade for failing after 2 times, you should have enough time for 8 tries, with some documentation of the process of learning through iteration (as opposed to trying 8 random things). And that learning process is the basis for the grade - not the outcome. (Though I'm a bit wary of ignoring outcome, as that's the ultimate Real World FeedBack... hmmm...)

The nursing shortage will return during the next decade as the economy picks up, boomers begin to retire and California's insured population grows, Bates said... Rookie nurses hired by hospitals tend to have either advanced degrees or experience with the hospital, according to a 2010 survey by the California Institute for Nursing and Health Care.

Transparent Society, The Craft, Innovation, Free Agent, etc. The hardest question for anyone who takes responsibility for what he or she does is, What if I turn out to be average?...
