Nonwebpages

"Diplomacy is the art of saying 'nice doggie' until you can find a rock."--Will Brown

Here you'll find all the webpages that I contemplated adding to the Pegasus Nest, then decided not to for reasons that should be obvious. This is purely frivolous.

A list of the books I own.
Why shareware can be awesome and, more importantly, why you should pay for it.
Mac advocacy, as if the world needed another pro-Mac website. (The Mac OS X links are as far as I go in that direction. Well...okay. I can't resist the occasional dig.)
Things I would rather have in the math curriculum, and for those LISPers out there, it's not a null list.
Top 10 things I left Cornell without doing.
Top 10 things I left Stanford without doing.
Continuing education courses I'd love to take, but can't afford.
An analysis of Yune's stick figures, except she'd kill me.
Zen and the art of relationship disrepair.
A case for neologisms and TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms, as they say at NASA).
The joys of programming in Dylan, and never mind NOODLLE.
All I needed to know I learned from watching other people play Virtual On (an arcade game).
Anything political. Or more political than what exists, anyway.
Why math is a lot more nonhierarchical as a discipline than Algebra I-Geometry-Algebra II might lead you to think.
The number of times I've lost my wallet, only to find it again two days to two weeks later.
A list of education jargon that I never want to hear again after massive overexposure. (Note that I'm all for the concepts being espoused, it's the combination of graphemes and phonemes that's doing me in.) Hint: "scaffold" is at the top of the list.
A list of the animé series my friends have seen.
Sf/f writers whom I would sell half my soul for the opportunity to meet. (Except, of course, David Dror is in possession of my soul.)
What not to do as a teacher, substitute or otherwise.
Some of the really dumb things students say. (Come on, folks. Rulers do not ever have an average length of six inches--yes, you may guess what this conversation was about pre-cover-up.)
Annoying/stupid things people ask pregnant women.
