This is a limerick I made up while we discussed popular ones over dinner.
There once was a man who liked pie
Who desperately wanted to fly
So he climbed up a ladder
That should of been flatter
And then proceeded to die.
Hope you like it :D
What Most Schools Don’t Teach
Via my good friend and fellow traveller Jaap van Till… every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn to code. Software is now in nearly everything around us, and many are needed to define and create it.
Even if you don’t (want to) create code yourself, a better understanding will help you get to what you want and need to do.
Letter to IFAW’s Fred O’Regan
IFAW is the International Fund for Animal Welfare, Fred is the CEO.
They send out a set of postcards to people who have been active for their campaigns, hoping to trigger the reciprocity principle and receiving donations.
Fundraising is big business, and the biggest benefactors are the companies doing the fundraising, not the good causes.
Hi Fred
Thanks for the postcards.
Contrary to your expectations in terms of the reciprocity principle (social psychology) that you’re trying to trigger with your marketing, I will not be making a donation, as I a) object to the approach and b) object to the amount of money that you apparently put in to things other than doing what your organisation is actually for.
Regards,
Arjen.
Australian cleantech industry nears $30bn – bigger than car making : Renew Economy
Australia’s often-ignored cleantech sector is now bigger than car making and one quarter the size of the country’s entire manufacturing sector. A new report also highlights the big trends in 2013 – growing investment from overseas, a rush to an ETS whoever wins government, and a stronger focus on energy and resource efficiency.
