Where can today's students go to learn how to make an app? That's the question Thomas Suarez, a sixth-grader from suburban Los Angeles, asked himself after realizing that most of his peers like to play games and use apps, but schools don't teach the basic programming skills needed to make them.

If honesty is really the best policy then why is there so much deception? And if we feel disrespected when someone isn’t honest with us, then how can we justify those little white lies and carefully crafted exaggerations?
If we expect other people to have the courage to be honest with us, then wouldn’t anything but honesty from us be promoting a double standard? Maybe it’s time to take a closer look at honesty and see if it really is the best policy.
Being honest about honesty On the surface, the concept of honesty seems simple enough. All we have to do is tell the truth in every situation, right? Then why is it that otherwise truthful people will justify distorting the truth in certain situations? If being honest makes life simpler then why would anyone purposely complicate things by being even slightly dishonest?... Via Martin Gysler

The 999 water bottle by Artefact is a revolutionary water bottle 999 million times better than your regular plastic bottle able to turn your good will and actions into data that can be visualized on a smartphone app. That’s the logic behind a brilliant conceptual project by Artefact’s director of industrial design, Fernd Van Engelen who developed a concept for a reusable water bottle, dubbed 999bottles, able to help keeping track of non-consumption through a built-in three-dial counter system.
Every time the user refills the 999 bottle, the dial can be advanced of one notch. A companion app would then allow to visualize the impact: At eight bottles, the initial purchase will be amortized. At 147, the savings will add up to $326 and seven gallons of oil; stacked lengthwise, they’d reach the height of a 15-story building. A social media burst can be added to the “picture” through extra encouragement coming with the always present (but in a positive way, this time) spirit of competitiveness, with friends competing against one another or joining forces and measuring their collective impact.

Interesting. I'm surprised at the shopping numbers. I thought other sources of data had the % of people shopping online similarly high, but a much smaller % of people actually "buying" online...

Hi Darcy, I agree with you, it is a bit surprising - you would think the percentage was higher - there may be some hidden #'s they're not capturing, It'll definitely be interesting to see how how this looks after the holidays.

The article by Mark Babbitt opens with: Over the weekend, I came across a post I highly recommend: “7 Words I Never Want to See in Your Blog Posts”.
He continues with the following advice regarding creating a high-powered resume.
That inspired me to think about the words that – for recruiters and team builders – can create a terrible first impression. Not words like “dependable” and “detail oriented” – those have been blogged about ad nauseam (and I don’t blame people for using words that old-school experts have espoused for decades). I also don’t mean the clichés that rear their ugly heads far too often during an interview or follow-up like “It is what it is…”
I’m referring to the words that show me a lack of effort, leadership or confidence – and make me want to disqualify the applicant from consideration whenever I see them. Without further delay, here are the seven words I never want to see on a resume: Via Barb Jemmott
