The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
Just listened to President Obama’s inaugural address. I didn’t get to watch it live because the class I’m teaching is from 8:00-9:30 a.m1. Pacific Time.

So, for my 1000th blog posting I wanted to do something special. And I decided that the something special would be a “101 things to do in 1001 days” list. The first time I saw one of these was on Dave’s blog and I may or may not have soon after written a parody version […] →Read more
Today is my birthday. But you knew that. This is what a photo of a cake looks like when you take the photo upside down and then you flip it upside right. This cake was delicious. Despite what Kalev was trying to get people to believe, I turned 32 today. Or 29 for the 4th […] →Read more
