Last Tuesday it was announced that crime novelist Elmore Leonard had died. Some obituaries have described him as the nearest thing the US has to Charles Dickens. Despite such hyperbole, his 10 rule…
Great article by my online friend, Colum McAndrew. While I had never read any of Mr. Leonard’s works, I have read his "10 Rules of Writing" in the last few days due to his passing, and I agree with Colum that this last one is something that struck me as well as a technical communicator. It’s hard to decipher what those parts are that people tend to skip. Sometimes it’s obvious. I thought it wise of Colum to mention analytics. This is something that I’ve often brought up when working on my own project at work. What pages are people going to most often? Are they getting the information they need? What’s missing? What do we have too much information about? I know these things are what drive me when communicating a content strategy where I work, and it should be a driving force for everyone. Nice job, Colum!

The man behind YouTube hit songs ‘as Gaeilge’ believes he has discovered an effective teaching method
My cousin from Ireland–who happens to be an Ed Tech–posted this on her Facebook account. She’s been posting several of these videos by this fellow over the last week or two. In many respects, this is not a new approach. Many foreign language programs use song to teach new languages, and this shows that Gaelic (or should I say Gaeilge) is still alive and well. I’ve always wanted to learn, but there’s no practical use for it unless I go to my ancenstral lands someday. Still, these are a fun way to learn! (For me–I need to SEE the words too. I’m like that with English as well!)
Great use of digital and mobile media.

Ashton Kutcher started his acceptance speech for his Teen Choice Award on Sunday night joking that he’s the “old guy.” It was hard to tell whether the audience appreciated the joke
I didn’t see this event, but it seems well summarized here. This is the kind of message that I try to give to my tween son. I want him to be smart and thoughtful as he grows up, and I think Ashton Kutcher says it nicely here, according to the author of the artilce. If we could just get this message spread more to the kids out there…
