Great stuff as usual, Kantis. TY for helping us focus better in our study time. I agree that keeping your study environment clean and organized is just as important as keeping the information you are studying organized.

My kids and I have truly fallen head over heals for music being put out by this awesome high-quality male vocal group – 21:03.

It’s so important to live without assaulting your own conscience. If you have doubts about something…if it doesn’t resonate with you, then why keep doing it?
And on the other side, why neglect the things that you do care about…living according to what matters most to me is so important.I am through with doing or not doing things based on others’ opinions and/or ideas of what is “normal”.
At this point in my life, I realize that our family’s life is a lot less than normal because we have an untraditional schedule, more than two kids, and, most of all, because we homeschool.
So, comparing myself to other friends and family is totally useless. However, forming relationships with those who are similar, such as homeschool families, has proven to be a true blessing for me.

Apology To @devorahf and All:
Please forgive me, no offense was intended by my comment. Most of my family members are very intelligent and have no degrees. Also, I am way far from perfect despite my education. So, I was not speaking as a snob.However, I was speaking from the perspective of one who has been trained in the scientific method, which states that you must be careful to use only peer-reviewed academic resources when doing certain types of research. If a serious researcher is not careful, their own research comes into question based on the resources they have used.
The article implied that Wikipedia contributors don’t fit into the “peer reviewed” mold. Also, while in graduate school, I found that wikipedia is not accepted as a legitimate resource for official research by most professors and academic programs.

Please Join Us! Together, Let's Close the Digital Divide.
This week, on September 22, people all over the world are celebrating OneWebDay.
Founded by Susan Crawford, who now advises President Obama on science, technology, and innovation policy, OneWebDay is a global event which is celebrated every September 22 since 2006. Much like Earth Day, which inspired it, OneWebDay provides an opportunity for communities to celebrate the power of Web for positive change, to take action to protect what is precious about it, and to educate the public and policy-makers on key social, economic, and political Web issues.
This year’s theme — One Web. For All — is all about digital inclusion, digital literacy, and working to close the digital divide. OneWebDay organizers are calling attention to efforts that work to ensure that anyone who wants it has access to the Internet and the skills they need to engage in our new communications environment.
The fight for digital inclusion is now on the cutting edge in the long struggle for social and economic justice. Access to a fast, affordable, and open Internet is essential for every child in school, every entrepreneur with a new idea, and anyone who wants full access to our government and the democratic process.
To show my support for OneWebDay and digital inclusion efforts, I have signed the 2009 pledge to Free the Internet and End the Digital Divide. I hope you will join me and help to spread the word.
Here’s the link to the pledge: http://bit.ly/closedivide

Chris, as usual, you’re being a great help to the twitterverse. You are one of the main soc.med. experts that I follow because you’re usually on point. You have said here many of the things I was thinking/doing but just didn’t write down, yet.
My 2-cents on this:
[1-cent]
Learn how to use automated tools WISELY. In other words, if you don’t know what you’re doing, leave automated twitter tools alone. Twitter is starting to monitor more closely and enforce their terms of service more strictly. You don’t want to have your account suspended or deleted and end up losing all of those awesome contacts that you have made.
I speak from experience on this, as well, and have changed my usage to line up more closely with twitter’s T.O.S.[2-cents]
The following are serious pet peeves! (plus unethical and may even be T.O.S. violations):
*do not use an automated tool to post the twitter usernames of those who have followed or unfollowed you in the open, public tweet stream
*do not create such types of public tweet streams, as you will be alienating all those whose privacy you’ve violated, unless they just love being publically outed by a third party, which is highly unlikely
*unless you have the author’s consent, it also may be unwise to pull from another feed stream, like mybloglog, and place the information into the twitter stream; I have seen this with companies who specialize in creating buzz on behalf of their clients

Chris Anderson’s awesome book, “Free”, is about a vitally important message for modern day business success. This is a must read if you’re serious about becoming successful. See Chris’ video discussing the book on Wired.com.
If you haven’t yet read this book, then please take the time to do so now and/or this week. Putting off reading it, in my opinion, is equivalent to putting off your success.
I’m keeping this message brief so that I can finish reading it, as I want to keep practicing what I preach.

Learn why your tweets may be in danger
[EXCERPT]
Do you want to know the #1 reason why your twitter account is in danger of suspension or deletion?
Background information:
My twitter network currently has over 2,000 followers. I have achieved a level of certifiable “success” in online social networking. This is because I consistently make time to learn, from real experts, how to use twitter, and other modes of social networking, more effectively. I also provide free help to others who are getting started or just want to become more effective.
Despite all of this, my twitter account was suspended, temporarily.
Not to worry, it was restored immediately, once I emailed my concerns to twitter, as instructed on twitter’s support website.
The #1 reason why your twitter account may be suspended: [READ FULL ARTICLE AT TW-UTORIAL.COM]

The 3 P’s of Success gives some wisdom nuggets that are vital to understand how “overnight” successes are made. The following information is an example of P #3.
While on our date today in Atlanta, my husband and I heard some (pretty good) jazz music playing. But they don’t play music on the MARTA train. I looked over and saw a jazzy looking guy who’d just sat down (he had a gotee). My husband told me that this guy was actually playing a cd player. The guy then turned off the music and asked other passengers and us if we like jazz. I told him yes. He stated that he had a few cd’s left for $5.
I didn’t buy one, but gave him my card and told him that I help people learn how to market themselves. He asked me how is he doing so far and gave me his card, as well. I told him that I think he’s very gutsy and that it’s obvious he really believes in himself because he’s putting himself out there in a bold way. And I told him that I really like his music, as well.
I definitely believe he sets an excellent example of pre-success. Someone that doesn’t know him or doesn’t like jazz may not get it. But I get it. He’s doing what it takes, and as long as he keeps at it, he’ll see his dreams fulfilled.
Anyway, if you’d like to check him out:

There is much alarm and discussion in the blogosphere and social-network-sphere this month about Facebook’s TOS. To read details see their blog.
This is a great discussion piece and illustration of why not to put all of your “eggs in one basket”. Facebook, though it’s made itself extremely convenient and useful, is not the only place you should post online if you are a serious blogger.
Also, you should always have your own main website or blog that you own exclusive rights to.
UPDATE:
After stating that they’ve, temporarily, changed back to the old TOS, they also wrote:
If you’d like to get involved in crafting our new terms, you can start posting your questions, comments and requests in the group we’ve created—Facebook Bill of Rights and Responsibilities. I’m looking forward to reading your input.
