In The Sphere: Battlestar Galactica and Office Hysteria
Posted on June 15th, 2007
Welcome to another edition of In The Sphere, where we sift through all the wonderful content available on the web, and grind it all down to five or six links that we thought were useful, insightful, or interesting this week.
Stunt actor and film professional Leo Chiang goes on the set of Battlestar Galactica as they film the final two seasons of the very popular sci-fi TV series. A couple of my friends are really into this show, and while I –admittedly– was a Trekkie at one point in my life, I never really got in on the Battlestar phenomenon. Maybe I’m missing out.
Dot com mogul Bob Buskirk looks into ways that you can get more comments on your blog. In this age of Web 2.0 (I know, it’s already starting to sound cliche), interactivity is absolutely key to the success of any online business, even if it is “just a blog.” By encouraging more comments from your readers, you keep the discussion going, you receive valuable feedback, and more fun is enjoyed by all. I’ve personally employed all of Bob’s strategies at some point in my (short) blogging career.
Jane May of Career Ramblings has always been helpful with getting you prepared for a new job, dressing up that interview, and helping you succeed in a variety of industries. This week, she talked about avoiding office hysteria. Wherever you work, you will inevitably run into some co-workers who don’t rub you quite the right way, but you still should aim to enjoy yourself (as much as possible) while on the job. Myself, considering that I work in an office of one, the only hysteria I have to avoid is my own. Oh, it gets crazy around here.
Derek Semmler is known to talk about a little bit of everything on his blog, but this topic sort of came out of left field. He has come up with the single best way to improve public bathrooms. Public washrooms can be pretty disgusting sometimes, giving you an icky feeling all over. What do you do when you see someone use the facilities and not wash their hands? How do you proceed to open the door to get out of there? Derek tackles this question with a remarkably simple and ingenious answer.
And finally, we have Lake County, California goofball Dylan Duarte finally coming out of blogging retirement to provide us with his quirky sense of humor. His hand-drawn comics are sometimes good, sometimes bad, but always eerily entertaining. One of his most recent describes his reaction to the series finale of The Sopranos. He calls Tony Soprano a fat stack.
