Nidal Hasan was exactly the kind of man many people knew him to be. And that’s why they continually promoted him and sent him some place else. Because nobody, apparently, was willing to intervene despite many warning signs about his behavior. Those are the findings from the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs. They found that the massacre allegedly carried out by Nidal Hasan could have have been prevented. Had just one person acted on the information many different people had, the tragedy that occurred at Fort Hood on November 5, 2009 may have been prevented. “The officers who kept Hasan in the military and moved him steadily along knew full well of his problematic behavior,” the report found. “As the officer who assigned Has...

And the worst part is, we allow it to happen. But we feel there’s nothing we can do to break free. We’d love to unplug from the circuitry which tethers us to endless obligations, but we feel that if we do, somehow the world will stop spinning. That our families, bosses, or friends won’t be able to go on without having instant access to us at all times. Nonsense. These people all got on before they met you, right? They can make do without you for a little bit each day. You need to stand your ground, though, and carve out a space for you to unplug and disconnect from the world of noise and connect to your inner world. When we’re always on the go, ov...

It also put me in a position I’m unfamiliar with: Looking like a luddite. Perhaps I’m not forward-thinking enough in my reluctance to embrace this advance. Perhaps I’ve gotten conservative as I’ve grown grey. Electronic communication is a great idea (I’m doing it right now), so why not apply it to my medical practice? Has Ned Lud gotten into my circle of influence? This is, of course, extremely ironic. I lived so much on the cutting edge that my butt developed calluses. The calluses, however, were not just put there by the edge, they also came from occasional kicking. The problem is I have an addiction: I’m addicted to change. I’m constantly looking for new a...

We’ve all seen them: “Sent from my Verizon Wireless Blackberry”, or “Sent from my iPhone”. It seems like just blatant marketing on the part of the phone manufacturer or service provider, but in the business world it’s come to be seen as an excuse for a sloppy or short email. It’s even worse if the signature has this tacked onto it: “Sent from my iPhone sorry for typos.” Proofread, people. Make sure there aren’t any typos, even if you need to stop walking, eating, or talking to do it. Lifehacker suggests including the reason for you...

Grinnell noted the growing phenomenon of sleep texting and questioned whether it was a legitimate concern or something else. Now the New York Times brings us the story of a case of “sleep emailing” — someone not only composing multiple, coherent emails to people, but typing in account names and passwords in order to access their email account: E-mailing while sleeping, however, upturns the previous understanding of the mind as essentially quiescent, absolved of a participating role. The Sleep Medicine article […] describes one woman’s e-mailing while sleeping as the first reported case of “complex nonviolent cognitive behavior.” It involved not just composing messages, but also navigating past two separate levels of pass...
