new forms of teaching
November 11, 1999 by Eric Richardson
Wired has a cool article on a teacher here in Michigan who uses a very non-traditional teaching style and seems to get great results. I wonder how this would work in a more traditional class, though...
"surveys"
November 08, 1999 by Eric Richardson
You know what I'm really sick of? Those stupid "surveys" they hand out at school that ask about your future career and stuff like that. All they really do is give your name and address to the places which then sell your information, which in turn subject you to a deluge of "targeted mail" (cough spam cough). Gar. I think I'm going to start refusing to fill them out. I don't want junk mail. On the same token, who gave Internic the right to publish customer addresses in the whois records? They should be shot.
segfault

Amazing! Segfault actually had a parody article that's interesting. Albeit on an overplayed topic, but I'll point to it anyway.

For those of you who care, I just put a new screenshot up in the Linux section.
colleges

The college tour continues... I'm writing this from Cedarville, way out in the middle of Ohio nowhere... This morning we toured Taylor University. If only it wasn't in Upland, Inidana, I'd probably seriously consider going there. But Upland has snow... lots of it. No year-round baseball to be found there... This has really gotten me excited to tour Biola and Azusa Pacific, though. California... Mmmmm....
