My new favorite blog!

Maybe it's because I have kids, but I find myself delighted by random facts about science and brain puzzles. This site, the Encyclopedia Brittanica Blog, absolutely indulges me in that!

Edu-train-ment

I love this word, it's a blend of everything that I do. Education, Training and Entertainment. I stole it from the Sesame Street inspired "edu-tainment" and added a new part to it. Because I don't want to just educate in a standard presentation format, I want people to get involved. I want them to like learning and ask for more.

And I want to thank C. Beth Blog for inspiring me to write this. If you are having trouble blogging on a regular basis, start following her blog and use it as a momentum builder to start writing more.

To Know HR, read Know HR

In case you haven't used the nifty little widget on this page to see the blogs I have been reading, you should check out Know HR. His writing is humorous, pertinent, and refreshing. There are plenty of corporate training, HR focused, training & development blogs online. There are frankly, too many to read. Most of them parrot each other regarding the latest trends rolling out of Newsweek and T&D magazine. Frank Roche however, speaks from a different platform. See the smile?

He says, "I’ve been a professional dog handler, a polymer physicist, and a poet, but quickly realized that “being an artiste + $1.75 wouldn’t buy me a cup of coffee at Starbucks.” I write. I read. I pay attention."

I love his diverse background and unique perspective. Take the time, read good stuff, Know HR.
