Sparks Fly at BCIT

Yeah, of course sparks were flying when walking by NE 12 on the Burnaby campus of the British Columbia Institute of Technology. That's the 'Steel Trades' area and these students were grinding metal. They wore eye protection and I found that I altered my path to our class in NE 1 by just a bit this morning.



Interestingly, I've realized the title for this blog entry is a bit of a trick. I witnessed no arguments at work today.

I guess newspapers have been using similar techniques for years and years. A well-thought-out collection of words, in front of a piece of writing, can entice a potential reader to come have a look. I never took journalism but I imagine that in today's intense, online competition of sources, titles are more important than ever. For example, in an aggregator. such as News360 on my tablet, I choose not only by preferred source but also by my interest in the title.

I apologize if I got you here by false pretense.
