"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

You know, with college kids, I think the stakes for sloppy work, missed/late assignments, and lateness needs to be higher than missing a field trip. More like a grade ding.

it's pass/fail. Next year (if God continues to hate me and I'm still here), I'll institute a punishment system that involves their stipends. Late assignments, $50? don't attend a required event? $100, etc.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Seekrit message to Lee: looks like Thursday.

Ah-ha-ha!

Evidently there's power outages in San Francisco that may be affecting LiveJournal and Technorati...?

Other random note: a bulb syringe to suck snot out of noses is one of my favorite parent-of-newborn tools. But as much as I love and depend on it, Noah hates it in equal an unabashed measure.

Cool. I will have to watch that when I get home (no sound card in this computer).

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Yeah, Theo -- the DC 365 Main is down, which has a load of high profile sites. None of the backup generators kicked in (which 365 charges a fortune for). It's being unofficially blamed on a drunk causing the power outage. All hail alcohol!

Ah -- from BoingBoing:

Massive power outage in SF's Soma district takes many websites offline
Scott Beale says,

6 back-to-back power outages hit the SOMA neighborhood of San Francisco Tuesday afternoon causing major havoc with popular web services. 365 Main is down, along with craigslist, Netflix, Technorati and SixApart.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Next year (if God continues to hate me and I'm still here), I'll institute a punishment system that involves their stipends. Late assignments, $50? don't attend a required event? $100, etc.

yeah, or if they are expecting anything else from this, letters of rec or help with finding mentors, internships, etc? Useful to point out to them that professionalism counts.
