Better Writing – How to Improve Your Style

To me the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it’s about, but the music the words make. -Truman Capote I want to share my process for improving my writing and refining a style. Improving your writing can be tough. I’ve read a lot about writing. But most of this focuses on the basics of grammar, spelling or active vs passive voice. http://www.scotthyoung.com/blog/2007/05/10/better-writing-how-to-improve-your-style/

Let's say that someday a young couple buys a robot to help with childcare. Version 1 of the robot isn't much more capable than a video baby monitor that can also rock the cradle and say, "There, there" as needed, perhaps in the mom's voice. Maybe it can do a few more things such as loading and unloading the dishwasher and feeding the dog. It's useful but still limited. But here's the interesting part. That robot will mature, and get smarter, at about the same rate as the baby in the crib. http://dilbert.com/blog/
In addition to evaluating the GeekDesk , I also recently tested another piece of equipment to make office work more active. Called the FitDesk , it’s a small but functional workspace mounted atop a stationary exercise bike. So you can burn calories pedaling while you work on your laptop or tablet, watch TV, or play video games. I thought it was an interesting concept, so I picked up one to review and gave it a good 30-day trial of regular usage.
