  • Canon and Vimeo are attempting a video-equivalent of a Twitter novel. What probably excites me most is the fact that these short films – or the first one at least – will be shot on Canon SLRs, in HD.

Found this while surfing around the blogosphere, a countdown of the 15 strangest courses in the curricula of American colleges and universities.

Number 4 does my head in a little, but I think I’d enjoy taking 8, 12 and 15.

Before you laugh these off, think about books like Freakonomics (Levitt and Dubner) and Blink (Gladwell).

Finding new ways to adapt old wisdom has become vital for academics who wish to stay relevant.

Fewer and fewer careers have a conventional path to follow and I’ve found an irreverent approach to a field of study yields a more adaptable grad. You’re taught where the lines are but also that it’s alright to colour outside them.

I respect the older, more established methods of study but find some of these new approaches more appealing and, in their own way, practical.

So, when it comes down to it, what I’m saying is: As long as I don’t make fun of your cravat, try not to mock my skinny tie :)
