Why I love peda/sylla/blogs
Now, it's true that I've accused members of my grad class of buying voodoo dolls that look too much like me, and then sticking too many pins in them. I know that our course blog is driving many of them gnutz. They have a blog-crazed prof who is not, however, blog-wise. So they have to suffer through my innumerable blunders. But two reasons that the suffering is worthwhile: as students develop their projects, they get feedback not just from me but also, potentially, from classmates (and potentially from chance passersby, as well), and not just when that classmate is their officemate or as a result of hallway/bar conversation. And students don't simply get a frozen text from me; they get to converse with me about it, and not just during office hours or over email.
And by the way, it was wunnerful to be doing intellectual work today, in little bits scattered through the day. Made me feel like I really do still have a brain. AND I got to go to a basketball game today, too! AND the women won. AND it was sunny today! and WARM—46°!
(And if you're noticing the time of this post: Super Bowl? I don't watch no stinkin Super Bowl. It ain't got no Steelers.)

Steelers? Don't you mean, "Stillers" (come on, say it with an Iron City accent!)

you are a very wicked person—and you are correct. . . .
