Yesterday, I wrote about Linux distributions designed with kids’ needs in mind and some of the software for children that runs on Linux. Today I thought I’d share some of the other resources I came across while researching a likely candidate to install on my nephew’s and niece’s new PC.

I recently took possession of a pair of older PCs – the natural consequence of nagging one’s older relatives to get something a little more “post-Columbian” – and of course my first instinct is to refurbish one as a Linux PC for my nephew and niece, ages 7 and 5. My nephew, especially, is computer-obsessed, and I figure that giving him a complete child-friendly, education-focused PC might… Continue reading

My mother was the secretary at Glennwood Baptist Church in Morris, Alabama for about eight or nine years. My parents attended Glennwood for a while, and the pastor (David Bays) is someone I respect and admire very greatly. Even when I moved to St. Louis, after I got married, and after Shannon and I moved to Memphis, we continued to get a newsletter from Glennwood, and I… Continue reading

A Personal Story I went to a Catholic boys school in Blackpool in the North of England. In my first year in the senior school I was a nerdy kid, with spectacles and short trousers. For one hour a week the class had elocution lessons from an old, portly teacher called Mr Priestley. He had a hard task wrestling with our flat northern vowels and trying to get us… Continue reading

Every student's nightmare: Another life altering standardized test. To make matters worse, it's increasingly likely college seniors won't be able to find a job after graduation. You might have heard your friends talking about graduate school. Is everyone doing it? You don't need to look far to see: Graduate and professional school enrollment is on the rise across America. The recently unemployed, college seniors, and those looking for a… Continue reading

At the end of every school year, the media is stuffed with advice for soon-to-be graduates looking forward with excitement -- and not a little fear – to setting out on their careers. I’ve althinways felt that this was just a little bit too late – by the time June rolls around, you’re competing with literally millions of recent grads, all frantic to find some kind of handhold in this… Continue reading

Lately, I've been simultaneously using less and less of what I learned in school while discovering more and more skills that are vital to success which were never even offered in school! If I were to be 100% honest, probably the most valuable skill I learned in college was how to talk to girls (certainly a vital skill for happiness and success, but not what I was there to learn).

Where do you want to be in 5 years?
This question is one of the lynchpins of the personal development field. It's usually followed by instructions to visualize yourself having achieved those goals, and maybe an admonishment to ask yourself if what you're doing now will get you there.
None of this is hard. What is hard, though, is making a plan that will get you there… Continue reading

A lot! Although most of the time they seem like little devils, children are true angels that teach us a lot about how we can better our life. Yes, most of the time they don’t have a clue as to what they are doing, but unknowingly and without a clue they allow us to explore things that we tend to forget as we grow into adulthood.
There is a reason… Continue reading
