Not really.
But students, teachers, or corporate staff, imagine how much nicer your project, presentation, report or personal notes would look like if it included a couple of the charts from the Periodic Table of Visualization Methods.
(ironically, I can’t find “Periodic Table” as one of the methods…”Table” doesn’t count…)

Turns out that the words “fluorine poem” top the list of search terms that lead to my blog.
Which is misleading, because, up till now, there hasn’t been any poem on fluorine anywhere on this blog.
Poems are aplenty, but the only mention of Fluorine in this whole site is in my blogroll, where I have a [...]

I’ve noticed that my blog contains more of other people’s words than my own. I quote too much. My excuse is that if other people have expressed it better than I ever will, then I might as well save myself the trouble.
But perhaps it’s also because I have read about life more than I’ve experienced [...]
school of thought

The more I read, the more I’m impressed.
Not only does it have it’s own cafe (see previous post), School of Thought’s got it’s own current affairs magazine specially for helping students in their GP. And it looks really quite well done!

What are the gifts of biblical faith to the secular university?
Education can receive from the Bible a faith concerning man far more realistic than the naive faith by which education has tried to live.
Not man as “pure reason”: his reason is not pure.
Not man as incipient angel: he can turn any structure… to good or [...]
Lockhart’s Lament

A wonderful, powerful exposition on what mathematics really is, and a scathing, unfortunately accurate criticism of the way its being taught today (Linked from the Mathematical Association of America):
A Mathematician’s Lament by Paul Lockhart.
Just to give you a taste of the essay:
How good can a Rock College be?
Posted in education on March 16, 2008 | 1 Comment »
That was my first impression when I saw a link to “Simon’s Rock College of Bard” and heard it being described as a college that allows admission to students from 10th or 11th grade. Seemed like a school that accepted high school dropouts… “Rock College” brought to mind Rock n Roll.
