Join the Club!

Still subscribed to this old course blog? Nice.

So, I'm trying to start up a school club -- the "Owning Our Ignorance" club -- devoted to fun and logic, in that order. I've put up a blog for it over here.

Check it out. Please join if you're interested.

Own Our Ignorance

I'll leave you with an excerpt from a podcast I listen to called Jordan, Jesse GO! Two guys in their twenties are jovially discussing a favorite topic of mine: owning your ignorance.

Other sincerely awesome stuff from them is available at Maximum Fun.

Goodbye to Yesterday...

Your grades are now posted. Enjoy your summer, Cherokee!

So long, Mt. Laurel!

Final Exam

Christopher was right! The final exam for the Mt. Laurel class is Tuesday, May 6th, at 2:30. NOTE: This is different from our normal starting time of 2:00.

For the Cherokee class, our final is 6:30 (normal time) on Monday, May 12th.

Kwakiutl-Doo
