Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Since last I posted, I went to the comic shop, and the weather couldn't decide whether it wanted to rain or snow, but no matter, because it still got me completely wet.
Then I got back to the office and noticed the fax machine had a paper jam. We had to basically disassemble the stupid, hulking machine and get covered in toner to clear the jam, and of course, all it wanted to print was some fax spam.
Has anyone posted this comic about Quantum Fetish Mechanics to the board yet? I know we've at least discussed the underlying concept...
Famous Family Aural Learner Story:
My Mother and Grandmother tutored a kid who was looking at the distinct possibility at a third trip through eighth grade. He was having temper problems and was basically considered retarded (with all the baggage that included in a tiny inbred town thirty years ago).
Turned out that he could not learn from reading. The input just didn't work. So they developed a procedure where he'd read his text books or notes into a tape recorder, go outside and play with me for an hour, and then come in and play back the tape.
He graduated High School in the top 10% of his class and went on to be a big success (not just financially, a truly happy man). To this day he or his secretary reads material onto tapes and he plays them back.

And I think I learn best by doing. And also by analogizing. I can always come up with, "Oh, it's like this really different-on-the-surface other thing in this one specific way!"

I'm pretty sure someone did, because I remember "Schroedinger put his cat in the box because it was CREEPING HIM OUT."
