- No good deed goes unpunished. These two sweet teenage girls in Durango decided to do something nice for their neighbors, so they baked cookies and delivered them to houses with lights on.
Well, they frightened one cranky neighbor who sued them. Personally, I think they should have counter-sued the woman for wasting the court's time on such a frivolous lawsuit.
The lesson here? Never do nice things for neighbors, because they might sue.
- The new Auburn classes are blogging.
The instructor, Robert French, has set up two different blogs for them. The Style & Design class all have individual blogs, while his Intro to PR class has a group blog.
It's quite interesting to note the different voice one semester to another. Last semester , the students seemed to be more individualistic, while this semester the students seem to go with the flow. So far, a lot of the bloggers are blogging the same thing and aren't finding their voice.
Hopefully, some of the students will begin to find their own voices, searching the Web and the blogosphere for different subjects that interest them. Or, write about some personal things - just because someone brings up Epic, all the students don't need to write about it.
- NewComm Pix!!
The always charming, always fun and sometimes heavy-breathing on Skype-casts Neville Hobson has posted up pictures from the NewComm Forum.
I still have my round-up of NewComm Forum to post, but waiting for a little bit.
Ya' know, after further thought, I will take the blame for this at the outset. I have, after all, given them some 'assigned topics' to cover, so that addresses the similarity in the posts, to some extent.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the encouragement you've given them. And now, I have sent a mass email to all the students and told them to consider all future 'topics' I throw out as 'suggestions' (unless I'm adamant that they should cover a certain topic ... after all, we never know what may happen in the course of a semester).
It is interesting, as we have discussed, how each group has a personality. I kind of like that, kind of ... ;o)
Jeremy,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know that I voted for you in the 2005 Business Blogging Awards. I'll back back in the blogosphere soon, I'm taking 19 hours and working 30, so I'm trying to find some time!
