I absolutely loved this. Here are the first three:
- Mind your manners. Social media is still social. Even though we are interacting in a virtual space, the same traditional social rules, laws, and faux pas still apply. If you act like a jerk, don’t expect many friends.
- Tuck in your shirt. How you present yourself is just as important in the virtual world as it is in the real world. Make sure you are always aware of how you appear to others.
- Send a thank you card. People still appreciate being appreciated. It really doesn’t take much to convert an acquaintance to a friend, which will offer exponentially more value. A simple thank you, or any genuinely human interaction of gratitude goes a long way towards this goal.

Education is a lot like marketing. You don’t see the value (ROI) right away but years later you’re going to need that foundation for results.Just some thoughts.

So you don’t believe the American education system is broken? I can give you 5 reasons just for starters.

Occasionally, we Texans have a responsibility to explain our “Texanity” to befuddled out-of-staters.
By Jim HightowerHa! I’m going to start using the phrase “Texanity” to describe all the dumb laws Rick Perry wishes he could enforce. Yes, he’s still working on forcing women to listen to a heartbeat and see a sonogram before undergoing an abortion. Never mind the $27 billion state debt and threatened costs at education. We’ve got unborn fetuses to worry about!
OoooOoooOooo!!! I want to reblog this like 10x!! Why is he still Governor? Like seriously. That’s the real Texanity in all of this.

Quote reblogged from sex, art, and politicsMeanwhile, last fall, Texas officials sent Amazon a tax bill for $269 million, after determining that the retailer’s Dallas-area warehouse, owned by a subsidiary, qualified as a local address under state tax rules. Amazon had argued for years that without stores and offices in the state, it had no obligation to collect sales tax there. The dispute is to be decided in a coming administrative hearing. In retaliation for Texas’s move, Amazon said last month that it would close the warehouse next month and cancel plans to build another.

Ouch.

Very Interesting. Maybe Texas officials were planning to use the $269 million to recuperate the funds they’re cutting from our public education system. Hmm, I wonder…Doubt it.
