Gone.
OK @bondles9 so I’m Google’s #1 for “trend fisting”. And “neocon sex kitten”. But I’ve slipped for “used knickers”. It’s quite sad.
RT @ikostar: That whole cross-dressing midget bestial necrophilia thing seems a little… gauche to me. [Well, quite.]
I’m having trouble finding links that don’t reference dead goats and women’s underwear. God I love the internet!
Useful Google search term for the evening: “-goat”. How often does that happen?
@ikostar Except I’m having trouble finding links that don’t reference dead goats and women’s underwear. God I love the internet!
@ikostar There is indeed a whole thing in the US about certain substances sold as bath salts used to get high. Looking for linkage now.
I mean, you wouldn’t want to do that sort of thing with your own pygmy goat, would you?
Perfect story: Man high on “bath salts” arrested while wearing women’s underwear with dead stolen pygmy goat. http://arseh.at/6qq
Oh here we go.
I should have mentioned that “The 9pm Edict #13” podcast is about #gamification to trigger those lame robots. http://arseh.at/6qp
So people get worked up and all excited about near-identical cars being driven around and around and around a track? That’s so sweet. #f1
I cannot judge, @andrewdotnich, it has been too long and I have lost all perspective.
New podcast: “The 9pm Edict #13” http://arseh.at/6qp Um, yes.
This’ll be interesting.
Gosh.
Scrubby Rise.
That said, the word “cunt” is being applied to Mark Zuckerberg, so I kinda figure that doesn’t count ‘cos it’s too easy a call.
Yay. Only 300 words into this script before the word “cunt” is used. This should turn out just fine.
@macleanbrendan Yes please stop there, I’m getting an unfortunate mental image.
@macleanbrendan Why does it sound like there’s some sort of dirty story involved there?
“Naked Pig”? That’s rather special. http://arseh.at/6qi
Cannibal food [aka suicide food] being, say, a butcher’s logo being a cheerful cow. There’s a blog, of course. http://arseh.at/6qh
RT @macleanbrendan: The sun: often pictured wearing sun glasses to protect itself from itself. [Obvious connection to cannibal food?]
“Patch Monday” podcast filed! It’s a big-picture chat about P2P production with @mbauwens, online mid-morning Monday at @zdnetaustralia.
Inspired, suddenly. You’re in so much trouble now.
Ends, means, eh?
Or for workers? Yes, let’s aim for a workforce addicted to short-term meaningless rewards. They’ll do it for longer on amphetamines too.
The moral question for businesses considering gamification is whether you really want to become a pokie machine. Not a good look.
I’ve watched the “Gamifying Education” video. Positive feedback better than negative. Gosh. The digital elephant stamp.
@bondles9 @R_Chirgwin Indeed, it’s a bit rich to flog Skinnerian conditioning as some grand new business or educational revolution.
@bondles9 Misbehaving as in browser crashed. Sorting that out now.
This video “Extra Credits: Gamifying Education” is misbehaving for me, but @bondles9 recommends it. http://arseh.at/6qa
Whether it’s “much” worse is debatable, @bondles9, but I don’t disagree with your core point. Artificial measures are not reality.
RT @bondles9: Right now we’re teaching them that nothing’s worth doing unless it’s in pursuit of a test score, which I think is much worse.
I’ll counter that with a question, @bondles9. Do we really want to educate a generation that nothing is worth doing unless it’s fun, a game?
Commenters on my “Gamification: Hot, new, unethical?” imagine that I’d change my mind if I read more. http://arseh.at/6q9 They are wrong.
New blog post: “Weekly Wrap 48” http://arseh.at/6q8 Should I also post the audio files of my radio appearances?
