  • Have an interesting week ahead of me. Have to take an election script designed to do one vote per candidate and extend it to accept voting for multiple candidates. Will have 20 or so people all running for a seat in the Homecoming Court. The top 5 get a seat. Then a second election will…

  • Back to basics… I love to read. Fantasy, non-fiction, history, ponderings… doesn’t matter. Have a ton of magazine subscriptions and always have 4-5 books on my “currently reading” list and a dozen on my gotta get to soon list. I like to write. Have never completed anything.

Of course, I don’t cuss nearly as much in what I type. Going to take a quote from yesterday’s session because I have realized how strongly it applies to…

  • The wild, wild, web is a dangerous place to be if you want to think critically. C’mon, really now… who expects students to think while doing an assignment for a class in which they are not engaged. School has become an endeavor to do what is minimally necessary to get the grade desired. Maybe it…
