If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!In spite of the fact that I’ve recently realized that only geeks watch “Futurama,” I had to get “Bender’s Big Score” today. But, I’m proud to be a “Futurama” geek, and in the spirit of the season, here’s a […]

And, oh yeah, I can spell potato. So, vote for me for best new Edublog! I was gonna try to come up with some clever political rhetoric, my “stump speech” if you will, but I really don’t know how to talk bullshit.

I’ve been feeling lately like I don’t branch out to enough different kinds of blogs. So here’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to visit 3 blogs from outside the edublogoshpere every day for a week and do my best to comment on as many as possible (but I hate commenting if I don’t […]
