Writing Software Needs a “Highlight Fluffy” Option (some apps already have it)

2015-07-30

Good scientific and technical writing is concise writing. "Every word must tell." Yet writing software usually falls short here. It gives no hints on removing redundant words, reducing fat phrases, or eliminating writing zeroes. Strange, because it should be easy -- and a default option.

Caring to much — A few thoughts on Haidt’s moral foundations framework

2015-07-25

Haidt's presentation about the different moral foundations got me thinking. Before I read his book, I've played with the material of his presentation a little and applied it to online outrage. The problem with care as prime motivational foundation seems to explain a lot.

A look at a really good game: “The Witcher 3”

2015-07-20

Given the occasional rant on this site, I'm always happy to point out when something is really right. And Witcher 3 is such a thing. A brilliant game for a lot of reasons. Here are eight of them.

Loopholes

2015-07-20

I'm usually one to bypass problems. Why bang your head against a wall, when you can just walk around it. But ... woaw, this is a loophole that's ... creative. (NSFW, but very funny)

2015-07-13

Seriously, if you want to get an interesting avatar picture, or just an image of you on a slide, get someone to draw you. Someone who knows how to draw.

No Ads, No Sponsored Placements

A comment for those seeking to use this site for personal gain: Given the increase in requests, let me be clear. I write on this blog because I want to. It’s my hobby, my playground. Sometimes people point me to interesting products/services and I write about them. But any request regarding ads or sponsored placements ends up the trash without a reply. And if you think something would be of interest, differentiate yourself from the spammers by referring to a posting — in an intelligent way. (I get enough auto-generated mails to identify them immediately.)

BTW, posts can get updated after I published them if I spot spelling errors (not a native speaker) or think a different wording might improve precision and clarity.

Filter Blog Entries & Categories

This blog is not focused on a single topic, or method. As long as it is relevant to improving creativity (or allowing it in the first place), it's fair game. The heterogeneity of the postings can make reading this blog a bit cumbersome, at least if you are only interested in one topic. You can either use the search function (above), or use the categories or the tags to narrow down the postings you see.
