I meant to post this yesterday, as this series is a Sunday thing. But oops, I forgot. So here it is as a Monday thing!
Death By Powerpoint
This little “advice powerpoint” that Alexei Kapterev put together is great. If you do presentations, ever, be sure to go through his a couple times and refine your own presentation.
Proof of Desperate Students
There’s absolute proof that desperate students exist, and then there’s the proof that the desperate students create. This series emailed to me recently happens to be both
Movies
Saw a few movies over this last week, a couple of which are worth mentioning. The Last Time with Michael Keaton and Brendan Fraser was great (have to watch it all the way through to think so). Hot Fuzz was also above expectations… I liked Shaun of the Dead well enough, and Hot Fuzz was laugh-out-loud funny in places. We watched Number 23 on OnDemand and while I’m sure a lot of people complain about it or whatever, I still liked it.
I’m pretty sure I’d be a horrible critic, in that I like just about everything. I’m glad for my lack of pickiness for movies - I’d hate to be critiquing everything here and there, picking apart the movie for this problem with the plot, or bad acting, etc. I just enjoy it all. And I think I’m happier for it.
And in unrelated news, I finally figured out how to put a real honest-to-goodness line break after my little manual headers on these “don’t want to MISC” series. TinyMCE is very cool for the most part, but it’s bugs drive me crazy!

DANGIT! It seems what I thought was a fix for the bug just reared it’s head again and is causing problems with line breaks.
I use the H3 tag to make my mini headers inside the MISC series, but no matter what I try to do, it still makes no extra spaces after the header.
I guess I could use CSS to fix this and probably will figure it out but still, it’s annoying!
Yay. fixed it by adding the following to my style’s css file:
margin-bottom: 10px;

Thanks for stealing my post YET AGAIN regarding the drawings from students.
Of course, I have more than you do.

Oh, and I have to say the sin example is my fav… you do have a couple that I don’t, and vice versa.
Ooops - I know I saw it somewhere, and it very well may have been on your blog. I’d had it in email a few years ago, and it was emailed to me again recently this last week. That’s where a lot of my MISC stuff comes from - funnies in the email.
