Okay tech people, who knows printers? My printer is printing totally out of whack lately. I've included a sample below. I've tried realigning the print head the automatic way where you print the pattern, put it on the scanner and the printer does the rest, and I've tried a manual alignment where it ...

I've heard that read as a spoken word poem before. Quite inspirational, and accurate.

He's even mentioned several pwebbers by name in the acknowledgments for a number of his books.

I am going to steal that image and share it on Facebook.

I also note how the Jukes (spelling? I'm listening to the book as audio books) are not just some pure-evil-villain, but are also responsible for some of the good tech, and do show compassion every once in a while. Typical Card (meant as a compliment!) I haven't read "Earth Afire" yet but ...

That was pretty damn awesome.

I finished A Dance with Dragons last week, so now my wait begins.

Seriously, what was with the constant references to Laurette's cleavage? Her rack is her only defining character trait. This is OSC we're talking about. He is known for writing intelligent and complex young characters, but Laurette is nothing but the girl with the cleavage. Veevee even calls her tha...

As was mentioned, Pagan gods are usually depicted as taking women against their will, not the other way around. Anyway, I think maybe having one of the girls throw themselves at Danny would have been sufficient. Having literally all of them do it was excessive.

There are minor spoilers in the following post: Anyone read or in the process of reading this one? I just have a few more chapters to go, and I'm finding it to be generally enjoyable, but one thing in particular jumps out at me as being odd, that is, Danny's teen harem (ie. his teen female friends)....

Smartphones in classrooms are simply a fact of life now. They can be useful tools when used appropriately, but snapping pictures of notes (that I usually post online) is just lazy.

Speaking of tech in the classroom

Interesting idea, but I think that I would find it distracting.

When I was in high school, broadband internet had only just becom...

lol.

It wasn't that bad. It actually felt kind of exhilarating to go on a marking rampage and get it all finished that fast. Having to do report card comments is actually what I'm dreading.

People will understand this but... I passed my finals! I am a college graduate! Once all my grades come through, that is. Congratulations! And speaking of finals, my triumph comes from the opposite end: 84 final exams graded in 48 hours, a total of nearly 1000 pages marked, tallied, and recorded in...

Wow. I just looked up the passage on my Kobo, and there it is...

Kinda ruins what was supposed to be an emotional scene. lol.

Ali, the last info graphic at that link blows my mind! There is a DISTINCT difference between "Mary" "Merry" and "Marry." People really pronounce all three of those words identically?! :gasp: I have never in my life heard those words pronounced differently. I can't eve...

Thanks! I don't feel like I ever actually left though. I just haven't posted or really been keeping up with posts in a while... Okay, that sounds like leaving, but pweb is still my homepage, so I'm always lurking at least a little.

neo-dragon

I know I've been a sucky pwebber for not being around lately, but it occurs to me that May marked my 10th anniversary.

The way I see it, OSC is an author. His job is to write stories. If he does that well, and I enjoy his work, I have no problem compensating him for his work. What he does with the money that he earns is his own business. He still deserves to make a living if he's good at his job.

The question: Is it cool to bring another book (since my ticket includes a "free" copy of The Ocean at the End of the Lane ) to be signed, assuming signings happen? I would abso-frickin'-lutely love to have a volume of Sandman signed, or maybe Good Omens although I would honestly prefer t...

On a random note, I ended off this past week by writing a reference letter that made a young lady beam with pride and delight, and making another young lady who's made no secret of the fact that she hates science leave class with a big smile on her face saying that science can be fun. I love my job....

Yeah, I'm not such a fan of reading logs either. It makes it seem like more of a chore.

As I mentioned indirectly in the chat the other night when you asked me how long I've been posting, I'm 29.

Black police officer faces charges for not investigating racial taunts against himself

And here I thought that turning the other cheek was supposed to be admirable.

I was 16.

I think that's a pretty good age to read it at. At the school where I currently teach it's required reading in grade 10.

But, I think in the end, my actual view about siblings is: More than 0.

I totally forgot that I ever made this thread.

I'm still surprised that so many people chose looks.

The first thing I thought when I heard about this is, "I MUST share this with Pweb!"

Humans can enter the Third Life!

(I realize this article is nearly 2 years old, so sorry if this is old news)

I'd have to see that in action. I'm inclined to believe that there'd be a fair bit of horseplay, at least until the novelty wore off.

Yes, you're quite right. Homework is meaningless if it doesn't directly tie into the material covered in class, and if it doesn't reinforce that material while it's still fresh. Unless of course it is meant to be a review of previously learned material, or as is sometimes the case, a preview of mate...

I actually managed to teach my mom (the least tech savvy person I have ever met) how to Skype.

Bonus points since I've never even Skyped myself.

*BUMP* So here's a question for you guys, is there value in assigning homework? Here's what a very articulate and precocious 5th grader has to say about it I know that OSC has also expressed views on this matter which are similar to those of this young man. I'd like to hear thoughts from you guys be...

TV related....I just found out Joss Whedon is the speaker at my brother's graduation!!! YESSSSS

That's pretty amazing! It must be a high profile school or someone has connections.
