We’re taking a trip out to Surin today to visit Max’s great grandmother and other assorted relations; it should only take 2 or 3 hours to get there. We’ll be back tomorrow!

Fort Minor – Kenji
You might not have heard of Fort Minor, it’s a side project of Mike Shinoda’s (lead man of Linkin Park). In 2005 they released their first (and to date, only) album, The Rising Tied.

What makes a good teacher – followup
Malcolm Gladwell has posted a followup on his blog. Reading the comments there might be highly entertaining after a box of chardonnay but are merely dreary in the pre-coffee morning hours. I think Gladwell has missed one of the most important differences between teachers and quarterbacks: Good ball handling skills may be ultimately detrimental to one but is definitely beneficial to the other*. My original post on his original article is here. *Sorry, I had to take out my Facebook frustrations somewhere.
