Having a Field Day With the Candidates: Judging Oratorical Skills of Hillary and Donald on the Trail
Doris O'Brien writes: Trump, an inveterate risk taker, refuses to play it safe. He often repeats phrases, as if to nail them down.

Breaking The Fourth Wall In Software — And Beyond The Stage Is The Planet
Ann Voorhees Baker writes: The lesson is that sometimes it's worth breaking the fourth wall, to borrow a term from the theater when an actor breaks the imaginary wall at the front of the stage and speaks directly to the audience as himself, not his character. Sometimes when the whole beautiful program or platform just gets messed up, or you mess it up, it's time to break that fourth wall and exit the system entirely and contact the humans who built it and say 'what the heck.' more »
