1145: Where Is The Greatest Good?
There was no post yesterday because of a leftover from the weekend, the same weekend where I was not able to post last Saturday. I was with the same people, from Friday night to Monday night. Let’s just say it’s an early Christmas gift to ourselves, using the thirteenth month......Read More

1144: Here We Are Attempting to Soar
There was a para-glider near the end of the mountain range at the back of the school yesterday. I was able to see it before my class at 420pm started, facing due north. For a time I thought it was a kite since it seemed to be just hanging there, but then it would twist and change angle and......Read More

1143: Learn from Experience? What's a Teacher For?
The net is still slow today. Maybe by later this afternoon or tomorrow we will get another announcement from the ITC saying that during the weekend the problem will be fixed – again. @@ First rule of advertising: make sure that your poster has all of the needed information: what,......Read More

1142:It Takes All Angles to Get A Solid Rendering
Sir Leland is having a class right now at the conference table (well one of them anyway) in the student center. He has about half a dozen students and there is a meeting of the Student Council in the other half of the room, and it’s only mildly chaotic. @@ On another note,......Read More

1141: Random Tuesday Writings and Title
There was no post yesterday because I was not in school. Let’s just say it involved a whole lot of spaghetti. @@ We don’t say thank you enough to people for being there. Even if they didn’t go somewhere for you, it should be some consolation to us that our presence there......Read More

1140: Just Marking Time with Words
Because of the slow net that has plagued the office the past week, not only have there been days when it was just too frustrating to try to upload content, but it seems on the days when I do try to upload content like yesterday, the belief that I was not able to connect turns out to be wrong and......Read More

1139: Slow Start of the Month, Apparently
There was again no post yesterday because of the snail-paced speed of the net here in school. It was frustrating when every few pages you load would get timed out, and several would not load correctly because it is not text intensive or even just contains one large image or some code.......Read More

1138: 1st of 3 Days ''Working'' This Week
There was no post yesterday because there was no net in the campus, and even today it’s painstakingly slow. The joke around here is that the howling winds from the most recent typhoon blew over the high-tension wires of the underground cabling and the wireless connections hooking up the......Read More

1137: Get Over Yourselves Already
Two new Mac minis at the Student Center! Thank you to Sir Lawrence of Power Mac Center for the donations! @@ Besides that, I gave the welcome remarks at the opening of the college sports fest last night. It was simple. I just looked up “lessons from sports” on the internet......Read More

1136: Need for An Exact Measure of Goodness
There was no post yesterday, the first regular college class day of the week, because I only got to school after lunch and there was a laboratory class immediately upon arrival. And I had to leave at 5pm. The closing ceremonies for the sports camp were great. Highlight of the evening was......Read More
