Government Class Weeks 12 and 13

Hi, there is no class for week 12, as it's a local holiday. So don't come to class! In fact, don't come to work at all!

I shall have my will!

Here's a marvelously helpful tidbit from "Daily Writing Tips," a devotee of which I am. I also encourage, by the bye, these other mailing lists, which are always interesting and enriching:

• Delancey Place--nonfiction exerpts
  
• A Word a Day--themed week by week, these words and their origins are always fascinating and contextualized.

And also by the way, I'm getting deeper into the digital lifestyle these days, as possibly an escape hatch from the real world of storm and stress. Here are some of the things I'm getting into:

• Open ID: I am using MyVidoop.com for my open ID which can be used for my ID at many other sites.
• Facebook
• My Twitter Page
• MySpace
• Diigo
• del.icio.us (used for about a year now)
  
• Animoto (as you can tell, I guess)
• YouTube
• Plus I am really lovin' Ubuntu, the newest incarnation of which, Hardy Heron, comes next month!
• Plus-plus, opensource in general.

Wishing you a merry little March!

Defense and the Dark Arts

Vanishingly interesting article today from the Washington Post. I hope you find it stimulating!
Almost time for the new semester. Check my updated homepage for more info.

Also may I direct your attention to recent class pages I did for Yuntech's winter camp? I may? Thank you. Here's one for the TV Commercials class (full of bunly and nostalgic goodness) and another for the Storytelling and Songs class.

Do you remember the time. . . ?

Working as hard as possible through a wall of mucus . . . I mean . . . I’ve got a cold and I still have to work on these technical edits for colleagues of . . . (layers of layers). Not easy work. Especially as since it’s hard to breathe it’s hard to concentrate too ‘cos it’s hard to sleep so that’s probably why I got the order wrong just now. Well, I think I’d better get back to it. . .

Word!

No, no, no! Wrong!!

oOo Writer!

Peace.

Slithy Toves versus Man Drakes

Now may not be the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country, because the slick brown fox jumped over some lazy mutton. Marvy poo, non? Take action and put it away.
Is nothing scared?
Even better than a Monthly Python game at wasting time is StumbleUpon. More fun, too!
Why, aorta. . .
If you understand this post, clap your hand.

Phonetic Impressions

I taught a mini class on the KK Phonetic alphabet that is commonly used in Taiwan. I have used an online service (or really a combination of several) to post a presentation, complete with audio (some Chinese included) on the material, and I will also post some exercises and their answers. Check it out!
