The Mic is On: It’s about Shiny Object Syndro-

September 30, 2008 by Liz

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

Oh Look!

Surely, you’ve heard of Shiny Object Syndrome — that behavior that allows any small change to be a distraction. Are you plagued by it? Shiny objects seem to be everywhere these days. Tonight we’re talking about shiny objects:

  • Do you get distracted easily?
  • Is it getting harder and harder to hold people’s attention?
  • Do you think shiny objects are a bigger problem than they once were?
  • Is shiny object syndrome only found on the Internet?
  • ahem . . .

shiny object

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Oh, and bring example links of shiny objects to share.
