An entirely too-long blurb yesterday morning on Weekend Edition was about a “rabbit hole” — the thing that happens when you get online and click from one thing to the next. I’ve had some awesome opportunities come up from going down rabbit holes… but they’ve reached a critical mass where I need to […]

So, I remembered from my brother’s grade school report on Pythagoras that root two being irrational might not have been derived from “can’t make ratio” (irr – not… rational — ratio), but that the little society fervently believed the deities made a beautiful universe that could always be reduced to integer ratios, and so since that […]

That is on a post-it note in the new office, so it wasn’t *just* my excuse for my sloppy poster. I’m halfway through polishing up the Cheezits lesson I put onto said poster to fill out the gaps so that, hopefully, an adult ed instructor who wasn’t a seasoned math teacher could plan and execute […]

I intended to have a pure ‘symbol imagery’ video for memorizing the quadratic formula, using the “snatch a piece of it away so you only have to learn one piece at a time” strategy (tonight’s ride — think of a cute name for that). I failed at doing it for the vertex — I just […]

I was thinking (with evidence) that people would be reticent to download my app from its “unknown source.” I know I would be… So I went to the tutorial for having at the Google store. Oh, I need to give Google 25 bucks to be “a developer.” That’s before I even read the terms […]

So I cranked out 3 minutes on how to memorize the vertex formula. http://www.amazon.com/Manual-Essential-Academic-Skills-Version/dp/1933107987/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 (let’s see if not sending it outside embeds it, eh?) Now to look at my archives for other stuff…

I was moderately discombobulated today. Poster session is NEXT TUESDAY & w/ only 4 poster presenters (one other from here), I figure it’ll actually get seen (tho’ who knows who will be at the truncated 1/2 day version of normally 3-day conference, thanks incompetent government that won’t pay its bills). Oh, and students were […]
