As of today, I have officially made my way through the entirety of the philosophical content Praxis challenges participants to consume for Module 4. This week, I watched a series of videos titled “Everything is a Re-mix”, and also read a collection of 20 essays titled “Software is Eating the World”. In the video, I […]
For week 3 of the Philosophy and Critical Thinking Module I am racing through with Praxis, I watched and experienced Paul Cantor’s 10-part lecture on “Commerce and Culture” – and trust me, the 15+ hours of content certainly qualifies as an experience. Cantor spends much of his time presenting and arguing for the benefits of […]
This week, I spent dedicated time listening to and studying various lectures on critical thinking from Dr. Sadler, a Fayetteville University logics professor.

Today I underwent a writing/marketing exercise in which I evaluated a company’s website and looked for areas of improvement. Heglund Catering is a Willmar area catering service that has a great reputation in regards to the quality of service; however, that reputability could be more distinct on their website, specifically on the About page included […]
Life is all about learning new things. It’s seemingly universally understood across society that “if you aren’t moving forward, you’re moving backward”, or “if you aren’t growing, you’re dying”, or “if you ain’t first, your last” (wait maybe not the last one).
