compulsive compartmentalization

Captured thoughts…on exhibit in the zoo that is the blog-o-sphere.

There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person. - G.K. Chesterton

Tomorrow is March 1st. Three more months until summer break. Booyah!

pre-con checklist

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

I’ve been a little busy lately. Tomorrow morning I’m heading to Orlando to promote the comic at Megacon. Before then I have to get things settled at school so I won’t be missed, pack up a buttload of stuff, double-check that I have everything, worry that I’ve forgotten something, re-check things again, picture [...]

“half” days and looming getaways

Wednesday, February 15th, 2006

Today has been one of those days. It was a half day for students, which means it was three hours longer for me due to meetings. We were told in an email that they had to fight for those half days, and if we don’t use them for staff development, we lose them. [...]

Just Another Day

Tuesday, February 14th, 2006

I used to hate Valentine’s day…as most awkward single guys do. One of my most vivid Valentine memories is from my freshmen year of college in, oddly enough, my Spanish class. It begins with a discussion, in Spanish, about Valentine’s. I shifted in my seat…avoiding eye contact with my professor and [...]

Thursday, February 9th, 2006

In a few minutes, Andy will be here to record new episodes of our podcast. It seems we’re getting a few hundred listens per show, which isn’t bad. Our weekly strip celebrates 1 year this week, and issue 3 of the book should be done pretty soon. I’ve been getting up around [...]

thinking it through

Sunday, February 5th, 2006

Last week I had one of my classes break into groups and create a survey based on certain subjects (i.e. religion, politics, entertainment, etc…) The point was to get some statistics on the class and what things people had in common, what survey questions themselves were bad or biased, and to show what kinds [...]

If God meant Buffalo to fly…

Saturday, February 4th, 2006

I’m not so sure how many student stories I’ll have this semester. Part of the reason being that I have honors classes, and they are, for the most part, very bright kids. I did, however, have this conversation this week.
(We were talking about the Paleolithic age and they were making posters [...]

So…

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

The artist for the strip “unfit” and Scott Adams from Dilbert are having this deal where they’re looking for an artist to take over the drawing duties for “unfit”.
My submission is here. (along with a buttload of others)

The rules for what’s going on are at the dilbert blog
