This poster is on the wall in the stairwell at Wuhan University of Technology. Funny and interesting in the context of climbing stairs. If you are not headed uphill you are probably headed downhill. Ever heard that one? Life is a struggle. Always has been and always will be. Some struggle more than others. Where are you in this process? What part of life is going uphill and which is headed down?
Ever wonder where the little icon next to the web address for most web sites comes from? Well, it’s a favicon or favorite’s icon. It is simple to make and incorporate into your web site. Go to the web site linked below and create you favicon image. Then, copy the code I have in the gray box into your <head></head> section of your web page.
Place this code in the <head></head> section of your web page
<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”favicon.ico” mce_href=”favicon.ico”/>
Recruitment is big at Wuhan University of Technology. Students are heavily recruited by large international companies like Hewlett Packard. Not far from the building I teach in is a recruitment hall. This place is hoppin’. Everyday there is a new company or organization presenting their material. There were numerous American companies presenting over the past couple weeks. Students pack this place eager to grab up the take away material. Interesting. The world is flat. Students from around the world are competing for the best jobs. Something for US students to remember as they prepare for their future.
Also today, I went to dinner at Starbucks and on my way saw a great wall of China, many male and female dragons and lots of nightlife in Wuhan.
