The team behind Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) recently reformed as Rifftrax. They find older movies and carry on conversations over the film soundtrack.1 They also riff Cornet and other educational films, those terribly produced instructional shorts many of us suffered through in school.
One of my favorites is “How to Keep a Job,” which tells men in their twenties how to hand read a want ad, score an interview and, most importantly, what skills employers expect from their employees.
It made me wonder what job skills employers expect in 2018, so I wrote this article for The Creative Cafe to make sure every reader knows how to keep a job in the third millennium.

“Wind Eggs” or, literally, farts, were a metaphor from Plato for ideas that seemed to have substance but that fell apart upon closer examination. Sadly, this was his entire philosophy of art and poetry which was that it was a mere simulacrum or copy which had nothing to offer us and was more likely to mislead.
As much as I admire Plato I think the wind eggs exploded in his face and that art and literature have more to tell us, because of their emotional content, than the dry desert winds of philosophy alone. ...more
