That Shouldn't Matter!: Segues
http://blog.thatshouldntmatter.com/2010/11/segues.html
A Guerilla Warfare Perspective on Technology in our Schools. Thursday, November 4, 2010. Last Friday, we buried my mother’s ashes. I mention this partly to explain my recent hiatus from blogging and partly to introduce my topic. It was a small family ceremony: there was no twenty-one gun salute, no priest chanting and sprinkling holy water, no parade of mourners and no second line. This is not to say that her life was without significance. Mark L. Miller, Ph.D. November 4, 2010 at 11:16 PM. Dermology ant...

A Guerilla Warfare Perspective on Technology in our Schools. Monday, July 19, 2010. My whatchamacallit's gone haywire again. My whatchamacallit's gone haywire again. Can you have a look? I listened to the voicemail a half dozen times. That was the entire message. No name, no telephone number, no date, no time, not even the name of the school. The message was left on my personal cellphone; I suppose I should have known better than to give that out! Mark L. Miller, Ph.D. July 19, 2010 at 10:28 AM. Great sy...

That Shouldn't Matter!: Ohm's Law is just a theory.
http://blog.thatshouldntmatter.com/2010/07/ohms-law-is-just-theory.html
A Guerilla Warfare Perspective on Technology in our Schools. Wednesday, July 14, 2010. Ohm's Law is just a theory. It was a science lab in junior high school. We were studying electricity and magnetism. The assignment was to hook up various circuits involving a battery, some resistors, and a meter. We were to record the readings from the meter and verify that E = IR. This should be easy; I had already built a Ham Radio from a Heath Kit and I even knew how to solder. At first I felt angry. Apparently,...

A Guerilla Warfare Perspective on Technology in our Schools. Tuesday, July 6, 2010. Top Ten Barriers to Adoption of Innovative Technology in Schools. Unfortunately, all of the major vendors still believed that they could somehow own. Mosaic enabled non-techies to browse. The emerging world wide web. In order to plug in the coffee pot, since there were not enough power outlets, the custodian had unplugged the router. After all, it was just a box in a closet that no one seemed to be using, so unpluggin...

One Div Zero: A Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong History of Programming Languages
http://james-iry.blogspot.com/2009/05/brief-incomplete-and-mostly-wrong.html
An exploration of software development. Thursday, May 7, 2009. A Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong History of Programming Languages. 1801 - Joseph Marie Jacquard uses punch cards to instruct a loom to weave "hello, world" into a tapestry. Redditers of the time are not impressed due to the lack of tail call recursion, concurrency, or proper capitalization. 1936 - Alan Turing invents every programming language that will ever be but is shanghaied by British Intelligence to be 007 before he can patent them.
