I hope they quote that last sentence as an endorsement.
My problem is I often look back a couple sentences especially in books with a lot of dialogue because you can lose track of who's speaking. Not allowed, that's too inefficient.
People are going to think we're on the take from Big Speedread.
I can't get the app to work the one place I'd like it to: student discussion forums that I have to grade.
The literary equivalent of force-feeding a goose.
The low-tech semi-equivalent when I took a speed reading mini-course in high school was a band of light that scrolled down the page at a set rate.

I'd like to see someone write a narrative using only stock listing symbols.

From the link in 15:
But maybe apps like Spritz (there will doubtless be copycats)
Whose bed has Spritz put a horsehead in? They got to Heebie and The Atlantic.
Anyway, I'm considering Java certification. My natural reaction to certification is allergic, but it seems that the Java cert, for Java jobs, can be a good thing.

17: Texting Rowan a lot lately has made me realize just how prescient Hoban was.
"Two centuries hence, they'll be very pleased to have a seat of government that is painted a pleasant, easy-to-maintain white!"
12, great book. Fantastic book. The record that came with it, a bit disappointing.
This app should be called Spirtz.
OT: Crossfit's moment in the sun is over. The future is MovNat.
25: I'm sold! Clearly what I need is more somersaults and crawling around and hopping onto/off of boxes in my life.
I've been exposed to so much Pittsburgh from reading this blog that I can only pronounce "MovNat" as movin' n' at.
Troller please. We've been doing that kind of thing at the CF gym for years, there's a guy who does a special class. I suck at it.
Isn't that parquar or whatever?
We don't do much of it. Except for bear crawls, which we do a lot.
Those MovNatisms are really something.
Isn't that parquar or whatever?
Parquar is a type of floor covering. Or a particularly nasty insecticide.
Bonze please, Theravada is just a less universal form of Mahayana, that's why we call it Hinayana.
It's easy to parkour on parquar.
In the '90s, FOX did a documentary about the craze, following an indefatigable young Frenchman with a love for practice. It was called Parkour Louis Can't Lose
Here is an article with more information.
Full disclosure: The link in 39 contains what may be the most complicated and confusing of all possible sets of directions for getting oneself on top of a bar.
I wonder how accurate the timings are. The 500wpm one feels roughly like normal reading for me, perhaps a little faster but not much. Otoh, I've often been told I read fast.
I thought the point of "speed reading" was to skip over things that "weren't important", which is why I was never interested in it

If you're a human paraquat.

Why make it so complicated? Just climb up using the bar stool. Most of the time I can manage this without injuring myself, even after having had several drinks.
Getting down, though--that's the hard part.
We decided last night at the meet-up that American Gladiator classes are the real next Crossfit.
Getting down, though--that's the hard part.
Actually, very easy. Getting down without injuring other patrons of the bar? That's a little trickier.
