@Jon, Scanning your blog, the same seems true of you

Thanks for the kind words. I’m getting little to no response to these posts, but as I said in the first installment, it’s really more for posterity than anything else, so I guess the silence is okay. (And honestly, I’m tired of writing about education right now. There’s more to the world than that!)

Clay, of the things I wish I were, two at the very top are "well-read" and creative. You, sir, are both of those and I am VERY much enjoying this series. Write on! Jon Beckers last blog post..Drill & Kill and Digital Equity

@Clay – The short answer to that question is yes.

The long answer is no. The fingers typing these words are the same ones, and the eyes seeing them appear on the screen are too, and the body holding those fingers and eyes and everything else up are as well – but I am infinitely not the same person.

The changes you’ll most often see are that I don’t make grammar or spelling “mistakes” anymore (mistakes including abbrs). Of course, there’s no such thing as an absolute and all that, but when I do it’s genuinely a mistake and quickly corrected.

One thing you may not see is my writing. I have yet to decide whether to post it on my blog, as it’s rather personal.

This is sounding rather more long-winded than I usually am, so I’ll stop here.

@Harold – and also got the impression she was some sort of soulless Nietzsche (who I do greatly admire, but only after reading his complete works and a couple of biographies).

@gradster: I just want to say thanks for the kind words. Coming from a student, that means a lot. (Are you the _same_ gradster from last year?)

@Harold: College daze indeed Never read Rand, though I liked Kazan’s directing in The Fountainhead (?) with whoozits, the old James Dean contemporary…. Sleepless, braindead, can’t come up with his name!
