Email checklist (maybe this time it'll work!)
Written by Nathanial I. JacksonI came across this post from a very imformative fella by the name of Seth Godin. He created a check list to use before you send out emails. Very fun and if you are unfamilar with the sport then I reccommend that you read on..
Before you hit send on that next email, perhaps you should run down this list, just to be sure:
14-Year-Old Whiz Kid Knocks Angry Birds Off Its Roost
Written by Nathanial I. JacksonAt the age of 14 this young man has managed to create something that many have dreamed, knocking off top seated Angry Birds off of its roost. Robert Nay toils away at game development. The 8th grader not only learned how to program his own iPhone game, but actually released it to hugely successful results.
This kid'sBubble Ball has floated to the top spot in the list of free downloads on the App Store, unseating former heavyweight champion Angry Birds. Bubble Ball was released on December 29, 2010, and has already been downloaded over 2 million times. It's also available for the Android, but is much more popular on the App Store.
Nay is apparently a computer genius that figured out the easiest path to releasing an app. He created Bubble Ball with the help of Ansca Mobile's Corona software development kit (SDK), which required the 14-year-old to learn the Lua programming language. Admittedly, Nay did get help from Mom as a level designer.
"I was pretty astonished," Nay told ABC News. "When I released it, I didn't think it would do so well."

I love this guy, not only for putting my city on the map but for his marketing genius. Lebron James is coming out with a new series on you-tube. Set in my hometown of Akron, I look forward to seeing how this plays out if its anything like I suspect... it will be awsome.
According to Dave Itzkoff of The New York Times, the series will revive the four versions of LeBron: the youthful and wide-eyed Kid LeBron; the physically adept Athlete LeBron; the smooth and savvy Business LeBron; and the ornery elder statesman Wise LeBron. And for those of you wondering, the real LeBron will provide the voice of Business LeBron and appear in live-action segments in the series.

Education is important to me. Intellegence is abundent, we just need more creative ways to bring it out of them. Check out the adatapation from a Sir Ken Robinson speech at the Royal Society of the Arts in London.
