• 11:13 hey Cincinnati Bloggers! Please promote this event on your blogs, even if you can't attend. BIG thanks! is.gd/20px #
• 13:53 Peeved at the Enquirer's ability to bury my PublishThis! stories that are actual press releases w/prof photos and community focus. Argh! #
• 13:54 Have strange theory that since Enquirer refuses to publish my stories themselves, they should allow me to effectively leverage PublishThis! #

• 09:44 Thrilled that AMC / Twitter restored the fMad Men accounts - they're fun and it's great free, fan-endorsed advertising. #
• 10:15 My internet connection is confusing me. It's having no trouble with Twitter or email, but is like molasses when loading sites. #
• 10:22 Alright. Off to restart my router. If that doesn't work, am heading to the library where there is free wi-fi but thankfully no food. #
• 10:51 Router is reset and we're back. Yay! #

You Know You want to Join Us

Completely off-topic but close to my heart, so forgive me the lapse:

Come join us!

This is another benefit for the scholarship fund in memory of my little sister. But this one might be a little more to your liking, seeing as how it's a wine class.

Party Source has generously donated one of their excellent EQ sessions, including the wine, the appetizers, and the expansive knowledge of Jay Erisman. Come join us on Thurs, Sept 11, from 6-8 pm at the EQ Center at The Party Source for a night learning about Up & Coming French Winemakers and Wine Regions, with a focus on red wines.

Cost for the event is $40 per person and 100% of your donation goes to the scholarship fund. Isn't that cool? There are only 28 seats still available for this before we have to mark it as Sold Out. It's a great chance to learn more about French wine and help out a good cause as well. Win/win - or perhaps, win/wine!

Tickets must be purchased online and it goes without saying (but I should say it anyway), you must be 21.

If you have any questions let me know. You can learn more about my sister and the Scholarship Fund at the official website, which is also where you can register for the tasting.

Cheers!

Beloit's Mindset List

cross-posted from bub.blicio.us

I opted to cross-post this item because it's not only interesting for looking at your future employees, but also, your future trainees.

Every year Beloit College prepares the Mindset List, which provides the worldview of the incoming freshmen. Most of those freshmen were born in 1990, which rather blows my mind, and they will graduate college (ideally) in 2012. The mindset list is almost freakish - I can't believe some of these references.

The list is great at making you feel old, but it's also fantastic for looking at those folks who will be your employees in about 4 years or so. From that perspective, a mindset list isn't a bad idea.There are 60 items on the list; I thought I'd share just a couple. 

4. GPS satellite navigation systems have always been available.

17. Club Med resorts have always been places to take the whole family.

18. WWW has never stood for World Wide Wrestling.

22. Clarence Thomas has always sat on the Supreme Court.

28. IBM has never made typewriters.

33. The Tonight Show has always been hosted by Jay Leno and started at 11:35 EST.

34. Pee-Wee has never been in his playhouse during the day.

51. The Windows 3.0 operating system made IBM PCs user-friendly the year they were born.
