Academic Aesthetic 143

No time for banter, here's the show and the show notes:

• I start out with a "phone call" from Chris Craft.  It seems he has a complaint or two.  (You can send me your own comments, too!)


• My wife bought me a soldering iron.


• It's cool, but scary. (I could get burned.)


• Bre Pettis has a cool tutorial that'll help me out. I hope to one day be good enough to make a solar powered robot.


• A lot of teachers want to start using blogs, podcasts, and/or wikis.


• They think those things are cool, but scary. (They could get burned.)


• There are a lot of people out there who are willing to help.


• NextGen Teachers, Teachers 2.0, and the DEN are 3 groups that are free to join and willing to give advice and help in a pinch.
