What was, What is, and What could be...

I feel compelled to share a little more about my favorite online comic - XKCD. Initially, upon opening today’s comic, I was a little disappointed. You see the last comic had great potential as a “mini-series” – “The Modern Adventures of Don Quixote” and I was disappointed that Munroe had not taken that route. Oh well, he has been known to write a series of cartoons and then break the series up with n unrelated comics, but that is what could be…

I think Munroe’s best series, however, was his uninterrupted series on the new Secretary of the Internet cabinet post. A great comic with excellent references to Ron Paul, TRON, and ball pits, but that is what was…

As for what is, today’s comic did make me lol, because I so remember having that exact dream while I was an undergrad (not the Power Ranger dream). Thankfully, I have not had it since, so fear not Younglings; there is still hope of a restful slumber.

Bliss

First Entry

Well, this is it, my first blog entry... I feel like I am entering a brand new world where I spout off meaningless things with the misconception that others care.

I have created this blog as a requirement for EDU-653, and apparently, one of the things I am to use this blog for is to post things about my RSS Feed for the class, so I guess I'll start off with that.

One of my feeds is just for fun; it is an online comic strip that runs on Mon, Wed, and Fri. It's one of my fav's - XKCD. One of the great things about these strips is the punch lines are always 2-for-1. You get the punch line in the comic, and you get a second punch line when you mouse-over.

The reason I bring all this up is today's comic had a biting (but appropriate) criticism of math professors within the mouse-over comment. As a math teacher, I found it very funny.
