Jay-Z is a half-dangerous rapper who grew up in the gat-happy projects of the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn. He sold crack on feral corners and shot his brother for stealing his ring. Badass, for real. So it’s a little weird, isn’t it, that he can make reporters and presidents alike giggle?”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.esquire.com/print-this/jay-z-business-0210-3">From GQ</a>.

Like a role playing video game, one educational challenge leads to the next, with each challenge being trivial for the people who are at the right level to undertake it. After years on a treadmill that’s too easy to fail at, players—students, in this case—are acclimated to the game of education, rather to real achievement. Their work for those years is not valuable at all, and often doesn’t even simulate what valuable work would be like: they have only managed to repeat patterns they’ve been shown back at the educators. This is the game.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.petermichaud.com/essays/achievement-porn/">From “Achievement Porn” by Pete Michaud</a></em>http://tumblelog.cordfunnel.net/post/432883839http://tumblelog.cordfunnel.net/post/432883839Sun, 07 Mar 2010 14:33:00 -0500<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyx4jkghPx1qz4ujfo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://tumblelog.cordfunnel.net/post/432825395http://tumblelog.cordfunnel.net/post/432825395Sun, 07 Mar 2010 14:00:04 -0500“So it is not cord cutting that cable has to worry about.
