]]> Comment on Learning by Teneal M http://markismay.com/posts/2008/01/24/learning/#comment-27 Teneal M Thu, 24 Jan 2008 10:20:19 +0000 http://markismay.com/posts/2008/01/24/learning/#comment-27 I don't think the concept of 'learning' is the sole issue here. I do agree however that presenting it in a negative light does not benefit anyone. There are always going to be people who do not like certain learning tasks (maths, reading, etc). Sometimes the educational aspect has to be supplemented (or sacrificed?) with a motivational tool to encourage the user. I don’t think the concept of ‘learning’ is the sole issue here.

]]> Comment on A street performer by Dan http://markismay.com/posts/2007/04/09/a-street-performer/#comment-21 Dan Mon, 09 Apr 2007 05:12:36 +0000 http://markismay.com/posts/2007/04/09/a-street-performer/#comment-21 I think I would have hurried past slightly annoyed/guilty as the article suggests. The experiment definitely does intimate that beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder, but the circumstances are a bit unfair. On an early weekday morning people are not in the frame of mind to do anything except grab a coffee and go to work. Nevertheless, this is excellent fodder for finding out how many classical music enthusiasts are just effete poseurs.

It does open your eyes to the details of the world that are missed when going about the routine of daily life, and I found it to be pleasant and relaxing. I hope you continue to find enjoyment out of doing this (as I hope I am able to myself), and the other things that capture your interest. Thanks for the inspiration.
