Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, and sometimes it rains
The Daily Jolt reported that the TCNJ Web site has a direct link to a porn site. Some would say that's OK; it demonstrates "freedom of speech." But I would bet real money that TCNJ's official position is somewhat different. Let's see how long it takes for them to remove the link, which is found here and which links to this site. Congratulations to the TCNJ Daily Jolt for finding treasure others have overlooked. That's something entrepreneurs do.
My contact at the Jolt also had this to say:
oh and good news... we are going to be promoting like crazy soon... hq gave us a lot of money to run our halloween contest... the prize will be very very good this year... the details are being worked out so i don't want to share... but it will be worth over 100 dollarsOK, that was an instance of the student entrepreneurs winning. Here's one where they lost: a former student of mine contacted me yesterday and asked if I still had information about entrepreneurship, because he was doing a paper. I started telling him what I had and found out quickly he'd reached information overload.
Student: What could I write about that would fill five pages, single-spaced?
Dr. Ron: Your biggest problem will be to cut out information. You could write 20!
Student: What should I focus on? My paper is due Friday.
Dr. Ron: [crestfallen] OH. You are starting a little late then.
What I thought was genuine intellectual interest in a subject near and dear to me turned out to be a case of a student who hates his class, forgot about his assignment, and was hoping I would help him make it easier. An honest inquiry woulda brought a tear to me eye; this one just made me kack.
I said "sometimes it rains." Well, it's supposed to rain later today. :-)
