Dear Anyone Who Teaches Online Courses

Please, please, do not insist that the questions you put on an exam are from the book. How the heck do you expect me to answer correctly when I don't even have any relevant information until two chapters later?

Tuesday Tablescraps - 10/9/12 - Aim .............................. Down

For the past two years of BrickFair Virginia, BZP members have trekked over to the Laser Tag establishment just a short walk from the convention center in order to shoot at friends and strangers alike.   I cannot speak for the initial 2011 installment, but this year there were a bunch of little kids running around in the place, screaming and carrying on, mad as heck at the fact that you're shooting them. Of course, it never occurs to these kids to, y'know, shoot back. That's why they have guns t

My Apologies

For some reason I thought yesterday was Monday. Around midnight I realized that I had neglected to post my Tuesday Tablescrap for this week.   While in weeks past I've been less attentive to such forgetfulness, this is the week I actually feel pretty bad about it.   So, to make up for it, here's a picture of Meiko with panda-fez-glasses swag:     You're welcome, BZPower.

The Death Of Lhii

The Death of Lhii   Vakama's knees creaked as he slowly lowered himself onto the wooden log that served as his storytelling bench. Tahu's Suva dominated the dimly lighted background, the sparse burnt trees around it towering into an air mixed with ash.   "Another story, Vakama?"   The Turaga of Fire smiled knowingly. "Yes, Takua. Be sure to chronicle this one," he said.   In the crowd, Aodhan coughed and raised his hand. Vakama paused before he began, motioning to the Lava Farmer. "I'm sorry t

Blogarithm Contest #6 - Final Poll!

Here it is, folks. The moment you've all been waiting for. The Final Poll of Blogarithm Contest #6.   Let's get to it.   Polling ends on Thursday, October 4th at 11:59 PM Eastern.   Since a lot of entries were knotted up at three, I bent the rules a bit to allow an extra wild-card to slip in. I didn't want to have to choose - heck, that's what you guys are for!   Entry One: There once was a Post-it-here topic. When Sumi saw it, he became catatonic In reaction to this, He told the poster - "tsk t

Blogarithm Contest #6 - Polls!

There were an astounding number of entries to Blogarithm Contest #6. As such, I have not gone to the trouble of randomizing the entries. The twenty-one text entries will be equally split among three polls (teal, orange, and purple), while the entries that contain images have their own poll (blue) with eleven entries.   You may pick two entries from the first three polls, and you may pick three from the last poll. An overall wild-card will advance to the final poll as well.   Voting ends on Sunda

Blogarithm Contest #6: Topic Closed!

Life as a Forum Assistant certainly has its perks: namely, topic closing. It's kind of fun, though I've only closed one so far. If I assisted in Q&A, COT, or GD, I'd be able to close topics on a more frequent basis, but I'm not complaining.   Topic closing comes with a downside, though. Some FAs - like me - are expected to be funny, for some reason. Oh, sure, I could go with two- or three-word closing statements, but that's no fun at all, since they're used all the time by others. The clever

Tuesday Tablescraps - 9/18/12 - Strange Flying Thing

I honestly have no clue why I built this. Seriously. I saw a bunch of System parts with ball joints on them that I got at BrickFair, and my brain just went ... what the heck!     | | | |   I suppose it's some sort of cyborgish thing where a living creature has been fused to this glider apparatus. The more I think about it, the creepier it becomes.
