I also like to Google everything, even individual words or proper names I already know the meaning of, just because I can. I use the Google Dictionary Extension for Chrome. Just double-click anything on the web and it pops up. Pretty awesome stuff.
I think "Gentlemen Learning Code" would be a great name for such a workshop. And we would wear monocles and brown tweed. It would be both educational and ironically hip!
In all seriousness though, LLC is doing some great stuff, and I'm glad to see it getting some recognition here.
True, though I'm not sure that's the generally accepted definition of "joker." I think this screed could be better summarized by the catchphrase "Git 'r done!"
Ironically, said catchphrase was created by one Larry the Cable Guy — a noted comedian, or professional "joker."
There was a great article in the New York Times last year that partly attributed Italy's stagnation to its unusually insular, family-oriented culture.
"The suspicion of Italians when it comes to extra-familial institutions explains why many here care more about protecting what they have than enhancing their wealth. Most Italians live less than a mile or two from their parents and stay there, often for financial benefits like cash and in-kind services like day care. It’s an insularity that runs all the way up to the corporate suites. The first goal of many entrepreneurs here isn’t growth, so much as keeping the business in the family."
Meditation breaks are great, as is occasionally disconnecting from the matrix. But I'm not sure clicking through text on a website is the most effective way to accomplish this.
I'd say you're better off stretching for a minute or doing some light callisthenics. Perhaps while blasting doom metal.
Take a break. By staying at your computer screen, reading a bunch of text and pressing space bar. Then stare at your computer screen for 30 seconds more; you clearly don't do enough of that. PS: Quiet place not actually quiet.
OR you could, you know, go stretch your legs? rest your eyes from staring at a screen? Not be lectured about twitter et al by a website?? Maybe even outside?
Sorry if i'm harsh, but this is the definition of 'solution looking for a problem'.
