How better baserunning will win the World Series


Baseball - Skills & Drills: The FUNdamentals of Baserunning
Baseball – Skills & Drills: The FUNdamentals of Baserunning

One thing that Web Watch has trouble understanding is why the baseball season needs to extend out into November.

November is FOOTBALL season, as everyone knows.  Sure, throw in a little pre-season basketball or hockey if you’d like – at least those two are considered “winter” sports.  But baseball already has spring training, the boys of summer, and the fall classic.  Why do they need to bogart the winter season as well – it’s not like baseball is played outdoors in all types of weather, like we see with real sports like football.  Let’s keep the baseball playoffs to the fall months and be done with it.

Maybe the issue is that baseball players don’t really understand how to play the game.

WHEN IT DROPS tells you when new releases are coming out each week


The Amazon Kindle
The Amazon Kindle

The AMAZON KINDLE is great:  whenever a new book release comes out, you can pretty much instantly download that book to your Kindle and begin reading immediately.

The hard part is knowing what books — or movies, or DVD’s, or video games — are being released each week so that you can be prepared ahead of time.  Sometimes things get released and you just haven’t been paying attention.

More proof that you suck at choosing passwords


Password Reminder Notebook
Password Reminder Notebook

It seems to be one of those regular “create a public panic” news event.  “OMG!  Look at how silly people are with their passwords!”

Except this time, the people being silly about their passwords are kids.  And with kids, it really is a good time to teach kids THE IMPORTANCE OF SELECTING A GOOD PASSWORD, because it ends up that kids really don’t know what they’re doing when it comes to protecting their personal online spaces.

The survey found that:

How to Get Ahead at Work: Sleep with the Boss


Should I Sleep with the Boss?: And 99 Other Questions about Having a Great Career
Should I Sleep with the Boss?: And 99 Other Questions about Having a Great Career

7%.

That’s the percentage of people who have admitted to SLEEPING WITH THEIR BOSS IN ORDER TO ADVANCE THEIR CAREER.

Let’s repeat that:  7%

Do you know what 7% looks like?  Sure, you could do the easy math and say that it’s just 7 people out of your office of 100 employees.

That’s not so bad.

But if you work in a smaller office — let’s say an office of around 14 people… then take another look.  7% is the same as 1 in 14 people.  So you have to ask yourself – which one of those people are doing it?  You know they are – statistics don’t lie.  Besides, 17% of those surveyed said that sleeping with the boss was perfectly fine.
