COWabungle
skoolboy has been worrying about how he was going to make this week's COWabunga award. There haven't been any comments to his posts! Hard to believe that such witty and incisive remarks would draw nary a "well done!" or "you're full of it, skoolboy!" Turns out that the website woes that Ed Week has endured the past few days include a disabling of the comment features here. The good people at Ed Week are now aware of this, and I look forward to hearing what readers have to say when the problem is resolved. It's not the first time that technology has kicked skoolboy in the butt, and I'm sure it won't be the last.
If you can't wait for the site to get fixed to get something off your chest, feel free to e-mail me at skoolboy2 (at) gmail.com.
Comments
I tried to comment that his charts were missing, but, as you say, the commenting machine was not functioning.
Could he post those charts again? The "Illinois.jpg" citation was a dead link.
By the way, I enjoyed your "coming out" post. I bet the other bloggers who pride themselves on their voluminous (and somewhat gaseous) education credentials must have been stunned to learn you were just a "kid"...not a "kid" kid, but a grad student kid.
Anyway, before I stick my foot further into my mouth, I do have to say you are a great example of the flat world theory. It doesn't matter where you live, who you are, what you look like or what your station in life is...it's what you have to say that counts. And believe me, I have enjoyed much of what you've had to say. You're one of the very few who back up their comments with data.
I hope you sent Mayor Bloomberg some aspirin after he learned who you were.
