The school year is almost over, and
I've been getting all kinds of requests to play movies.  We have
a simple procedure really.  All you have to do is fill out a
little form that shows how your movie relates to a lesson that you
are actually teaching.  Then, get it signed by an
administrator.I guess that's too hard for […]

The library is officially closed for the year.  It's going to be
quite a short break, though.  The kids come back on July 25. 
That might sound like a long time, but it's really not.  Plus,
I'll be here all summer.  I'm really debating whether I need to
break out dust covers and things like that.  I'm contemplating
upgrading the […]

Student: I turned in that book.
Me: Are you sure?
Student: I'm positive.
Me: Well, I'll look for it and see if it's here.
(long pause)
Me: Uhhh
Student: I'll wait.
Me: I can't do it now.
Student: I want to know if it's here.  I'll look for it.
(looking — I get up to look […]

The Register is running an article today entitled Firefox loses its shine (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/05/13/firefox_loses_shine/),
stating that Firefox (http://www.spreadfirefox.com)'s recent security vulnerabilities prove that it is
not more secure than Internet Explorer.  Unfortunately, I think
they've missed a few key points:
1. Mozilla (http://www.mozilla.org/) patches their security holes a lot faster than Microsoft (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft).
2. We have still not seen any reported […]

Last night I was forced into sleep by an extremely painful headache. Perhaps it was the weather change. We went from needed air conditioning to needing heat all in the same evening.
I had a very intriguing dream. Although I usually don’t tell my dreams, I have this feeling that this one is […]

Once again, the vulnerability that was discover only a couple of days ago.
The only complaint that I have is that the self update system that is
listed in preferences does not detect new updates and does not update
Firefox (http://www.spreadfirefox.com) to the latest version.  I have been told, but cannot
confirm, that the updater works on […]

I am amazed at how unwilling people are to listen.  In a
professional environment, it is crucial that people pay attention,
especiallly when someone outside of their field is speaking.  So
many problems could be solved if people would just take the time to
listen.
I am not the type to speak over people or cut people off when they
talk.  […]

Another useless article (http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/TechNews/Michetti/2005/05/09/1032217.html) has been published to say that Linux (http://www.linux.org) is not ready for the IT world.
He starts out talking about how Microsoft (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft) Windows crashes causing us to
reboot the computer and curse Bill Gates.  Similarly, he leads us
to assume that Linux (http://www.linux.org) also crashes but we don't curse Linux […]

Yesterday, while coming out of K-Mart, I saw a young African American man collecting stray carts and also the carts that had been put back into the “cart return.” I’ve always been one who returned my cart to the cart return. I worked at a grocery store as a teenager and know […]

You won't believe this.  Three students just came in here to do research, and they're using books!
Are the planets aligning tonight for the first time in 3,000 years or something?
My computers are actually jealous.
