Krazy Pic 1  Guess that makes sense.  Be careful if you try to grab one!

Krazy Pic 2  Who knew?!?  What a coincidence it comes out exactly right!

Cartoon of the Week  Foxtrot almost always makes me smile.  The Sunday column last week (Mother’s Day) cracked me up!  It’s just plain funny anyway, and then when you look closer, it’s even funnier!

Speaking of Mother’s Day! 🙂  Here we are in those weeks between Mother’s and Father’s Day!  Here’s one perspective on the differences in the nature of the celebrations. 🙂

What Tickles Your Fancy?  Progress is a little slower than we were hoping, but we’re still working on some one-shot FUN Zoom classes – maybe once a month?  While the wheels (mental and logistical) are spinning, it might be nice to get  a feel of what might entice you to tune it.  Would you like to hear about Interesting & Weird Mathematicians (And Stories About Them)?  What about Lewis and Clark on the Missouri River?  Or perhaps visual ‘travelogues’ through various countries or regions of our own US?  Take a peek and shoot me your thoughts.

Brain Teasers  Perhaps the first 5 BTs are too easy?  I had THREE complete submissions the first day!  This time we feature two new BTs and a new Bonus!!  Are we having fun yet?  🙂

Technology, Stupidity, and Education  Interesting perspective that trains and telegraphs may have caused as much cultural/social change as some of our technology issues today.  This view, sitting in the middle of a George Will column on stupidity and technology lead to yet another round of thoughts on technology in education. Last week’s News-Leader column.

 

Quote for the Week

The nice part about being a pessimist is that you are constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised.

George Will
