I want one of those, but they are very expensive.

We donated ours to Goodwill a couple of weeks ago.

There are so many math topics that are better taught with a slide rule. If you learn how they use rules of logarithms to perform arithmetic, then learning the algebraic versions of the rules is much simpler. I haven't taught precalculus in years, but I brought out a few slide rules to share with the class when it…

My "local" (40 miles away or so) NPR station plays bluegrass on the weekends and streams online. They're based in Eastern Kentucky. They have a pretty good selection of classical music on weekdays as well.

I'm hoping he's walking to kill whoever was riding the motorcycle.

This is the image I intended for my first post. Kinja and my iPad don't play well together.

I'm going to call the movie DaftCop from now on.

On Linux, something like:
