Writer's Block: The Tech Effect on Education
[Error: unknown template qotd]
Don't have a kid. I come from the mimeograph and filmstrip era of education. Sure, in high school we had the first mass-produced PCs and video equipment to play around with, but beyond that we were still in the old school of old school.

Rest In Peace, Aleks Presnikovs
I got word a few hours ago...Aleks died two weeks ago in the care of his sisters in Michigan.
Let it never be said that I was unwilling to do anything for him and his needs. I am going to miss him a great deal, and feel cheated that we knew each other only a little while in the scheme of our respective lives.
He once told me a story of him and his buddies just taking off, straight from work or school or whatever, on the day of the first snow, to drive to Colorado and hit the ski slopes all weekend. So that's where I will imagine him, gliding along the trails of white powder, or sitting by the fireplace in the lodge for an apre-ski party with all his good friends.
