Pancakes! Bacon!

     It would seem to me that there were quite a few of you who enjoyed the SoulPancake video of Kid President.  I think it would be of use to those of you who did to check out the link up there and see what SoulPancake is all about.  Here's a bit more for you:


   
     I think one of the coolest things about it is the fact that it is more or less run by a celebrity as a way to "brighten" people's days and inspire others to do great things and even "be nicer".  Speaking of great things, some of these blog things are pretty great.  There is certainly a pack of favorites that are emerging that I enjoy reading week in and week out.  I'm not going to mention them just yet, but let's just say that they are equal parts entertainment and intelligent thought.

     Wait, some people haven't been blogging?  That's awful.  You can do better than that.  You have intelligent thoughts too.  I'd love to read them. Everyone's blogging?  Then you have yet to post the correct url in moodle.  Do that soon please, and let me know about it.

Just for fun

Because who doesn't love The Muppets?

You REALLY Like Me!!!

Wow,

After reading all those blogs today, this is what I thought of:


I thought of a few other things too:

If someone utters another nice word about me, I just might break.  It's like I'm home on the range and discouraging words are seldom heard.

Conversely, class as a whole will be moving a lot faster now that the first week is out of the way.  It would seem as though many of you are keeping up just fine, but if you are not, please understand that I make a few assumptions

  • I assume you can do some learning on your own
  • I assume you can and have read the textbook
  • I assume you can figure out most of the technology in class
  • I assume that if you don't ask a question, you've understood everything
  • I assume that if your grade doesn't look very good, you don't understand the material and you are not brave enough to talk to me or a friend about it
  • I assume that you like The White Stripes
That said, let's get ready for week two.  Don't forget to check out Dat's power rankings, where the games are made up and the points don't matter.
