Closing time

Hello.

I might not be in for you today, folks.  Woke up not feeling entirely well...my body knows the term has ended, and it's starting to succumb to the stresses brought on by these busy times.

Just leave your stuff for me.  I'll get it.  If anything comes up and you can't make it, let me know.  We'll find a way to work around it.

Thanks for everything.  I'll be in touch as the grading processes continue...

Many words

Hi.

I think I have caught up with the photos, which virtually finishes off the term.

I did a quick summation and it looks like a total of 1,848 photos for the four courses.

Hope they prove useful on some level for you!

I'm sorry the posts have become less frequent - it seems to happen as the term draws to a close.  Everybody's busy, scrambling to get things wrapped up...

(get it?)

...that includes me.

More information later.  For now, take care.

That looks difficult.

Rainy Night

Hi.


I got yesterday's photos up last night, and got today's up earlier this evening.


I think.


Couple more things to post, perhaps, and then it's more grading.


Going to be wet and stormy tonight.  Tuck in.


Take care.

Turkey

Hi,

Got yesterday's photos posted, finally.  Sorry I couldn't do it last night.

Hope you enjoy the long holiday weekend!  All my best wishes to you and yours.

Yeahhhhhhhh

Gong show

Hey.

I think I've caught up from the past couple of days of photos now.

Last night I was otherwise engaged, so I didn't post.  I am sorry for the delay.

Hope you are well.  Speaking of late, looks like I'm going to be up for a while getting some more work in...

Ripped

Photos from yesterday and today now available.

Excuses, excuses

For MATH 221 students ONLY:

I have received several messages with varying excuses as to why certain students won't be in class tomorrow.  I will not express any opinion on those messages at this time.

I will say this: if Tuesday's what it has to be, then Tuesday it is.  Bring your Take-Home Part in Tuesday morning.  It's due at the beginning of class.  No more exceptions.

Hope you're well.  Take care.

Working it out

Hi.

For three of the four courses, hope you're getting some work in on Part Two of your Exam.  Please resist any urge to cheat.  Let me know if you need anything.

I've been asked to follow up on the email I sent to MATH 221 students to remind you that in number 1, alpha is the constant.

Homework 9 for every course has been added.

Have a great weekend.

Catch up

Hey.

I think Reviews and their solutions should be available, and HW 8 Solutions.

I changed the Tentative Calendar (hopefully for the last time) to reflect the fact that I did not produce new HW this week.  I am too tired and have too much other stuff to try to do.

See you tomorrow.

Remember that Tuesday is Veterans Day and the College will be closed.

Take care.

Ruddy

Hey, some stuff got posted!

More to come. Take care.

Some sad news for these guys, not the first time.

Also not the first time I've posted this.

Not a big deal, I guess.

Tally

Hi,

I did manage to get today's stuff posted just now...still took longer than I had hoped.  Sorry.

Hope you are well.  See you soon.

I don't mind

Hi.

Got yesterday's photos up pretty late (I think? I can't quite remember).

Settling in to a day where I will read as many papers as I can, should be fun.

Hope you are well.  Happy Halloween.

Rollin'

I guess I haven't posted for days now, and that's not because I haven't been thinking of you...

...I'm just busy.

I think I've kept up with the photos this week so far.

I wish you well.

Saturday Night

Just checking in, trying to get some things done today (so that I don't have to change the schedule again!).

Homework is getting closer to the transfer, and some other things might happen too.

It's looking like a quiet night around here.  Hope you have some nice times planned.

See you next week.

Waiting

Today's photos from 221 and 55 should be available.

I also fixed the grievous error in 221's Monday record earlier today.

120, as I mentioned in class, will have to wait for a while, hopefully not too long though.

Trying to get back on track.  Sorry for the delay.

Urgent

Hi.

The images from yesterday's 221 and 55 (such as they were) are now available, as are today's.

Really very sorry about yesterday, but when emergencies arise, they often do require immediate and complete attention - as this one did.

120 folks, I really regret that it affected you the most.

But there's nothing I'd do differently. That's a fact.

Take care and hope to see you soon.

I'm gonna sit right here

Hi.

Today's are up.

Plenty of work ahead this weekend; we'll see how much I'm able to finish.

Take care.

Slack

Hey.

Today's are up.

I have been remiss in not posting and such, sorry about that.

Don't know if it matters sometimes, I guess, but I should be better.

Like, in everything.

Take care.

Breaking Point

Hi.

Made a change to the Tentative Semester Calendar.

No new Homework this week, and the solutions to Assignment 5 will be delayed as well.

I have been working on some other things and also injured my back, which is an inconvenience.

Hope you are doing well.  See you soon.

Judged

Today's photos are up.

Might tinker with a few things later...we'll see.

See you tomorrow.

Have a nice evening.

Valued

Today's photos are up.

Have a good night.

Quick word

Hello.

I guess I never did check in on Thursday night...sorry about that.

Those photos did go up, and I now have the answers to the Practice Exams up as well...hope they look alright to you.

I am having more typo trouble than usual, and even have been sloppy enough to commit a couple of other errors in the last couple of weeks.  It's not a good situation, and I do appreciate it when those errors are brought to my attention.  It helps everyone!

I'll be working on all the other stuff I have and more will hopefully be posted.  Still trying to stick to the calendar.

Thanks and hope you will have a nice weekend.  Stay cool.

The News

Hi.

Today's stuff is available.

Finally got caught up with some stuff.  Getting caught up with the rest soon, I hope.

Yes, I am bit stressed, probably resulting in the irritability.

This shit's kind of important to me, you know?

Pixie

Hey.

 

Your photos should be up.

 

I have been reflecting today on how much technology has become part of my process, how much I've come to rely on it.

 

Could I get by without it?  I...don't know.  My guess is no.

 

How about you?

 

Promises

Hi.

Today's photos are now available.

Have a nice evening!

Repeat

Hi.

Photos from today should be up.

How's it going?

I'm not sure what else to say.

I feel like I'm just repeating myself anyway.

Speaking of that, this is probably not the first time I've featured this.

Best wishes to Malcolm Young

Take care.

Droning

Hey, your photos are up.

See you soon.

Old Dawg

Hi.

Felt a bit better today, so that helped. Hope you are well.

Photos should be up. Take it easy.

Ease

This was a weird day.

I was feeling fine when I left for work, but as I began this morning I began to feel quite nauseated...sweating, headache...nearly lost it!

Kind of got better during the day, came back a little bit tonight. I have no idea.

It did, however, leave me with a terrible lack of focus and I had a hard time getting through your classes today.  I am sorry about that.

Hope you are well.  Today's photos are up.  I hope to do better tomorrow.

Keeping Up Appearances

Classic British comedy, y'all.

Just wanted to point out that I am keeping up the appearance of professionalism online, although we all know what's up in the classroom...

So, yeah. We're on schedule. Let's try to keep it up.

Whew

Another week!

We even got a touch of rain.

Photos are up. I am out.

Take care!

The Mac

Hi.

MATH 120 P2 was up around 9:30.

I've been fighting my way through the photos since then.

I think I'm done now, and I hope they're in decent shape.

Good night!

Disgraceful

Hi.

I think the photos should be available.

How are you?

How is your semester going?

How's the class going?

How much do I suck?

His hand looks HUGE

Would you be interested in polls on this site?

Any other comments?

Anybody out there?

Goodbye for now.

Sneezy

Hi.

Your photos were up around 8 p.m.

I'm still up, having a severe allergy attack.

Take care!

'Rithmetic

Another week has come and gone...and 125 photos later, here we are!

Take care. I'll be in touch.

Feelings

Hello.

Today's photos are up, as far as I know.

Keep working.  Keep trying.  We can do this!

Don't forget, he was famous before he was famous.

Shakes

Hi.

Today's photos are up!

Pool temperature is down, though.

Let's keep it going...

Travelers

Photos posting as I type this...will they bring you back?

We'll see. Take care for now!

Moving on

Hi.

I just finished uploading the Homework cycle - HW2 posted, HW1 solutions posted. Took a little longer than I thought it might, and I was also busy on some other things.

Remember, you should not turn in any assignment until you've checked your results and put in as much "revision" as needed to be satisfied. It's entirely up to you to decide what that level may be.

I'd like HW1 - HW4 by around the time of the first exam at the latest, so get started now if you haven't already.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend. While I often enjoy a bit of wordplay as far as choosing the music clip goes, I guess today is just a nice tune, with no other meaning attached.

Take care.

Short week

The NFL season started tonight, and two teams with a short week of preparation met and battled it out.  Looks like your Super Bowl Champion Seahawks are still pretty good!

While they made their statement, here's mine: stuff is (hopefully) posted from the last couple of days.

Thanks again for your patience as I enjoyed a (rare) night on the town.

I'll check in this weekend with posting news when it's available.  Take care!

Apologies

As you might have heard in class, I won't be getting today's photos up until tomorrow.

221 Participation 2 is up, though...as promised.

I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive.

Have a nice evening!

Blues

Hi.

I think today's stuff is up.

As always, let me know if it's not.

Take care!

Quick word

I posted some things for you!

Might get more together, but not sure of that. After all, it is a looong holiday weekend.

I hope you are enjoying it with friends, family, or even on your own.

Take care.

Laboring

Hi, I got the stuff posted a while ago, then faded out for a while.

Now popping back in to wish you well. Take care.

Gong Show

Hello.

Done; today's stuff should be available. Good night.

Late at Night

Hi.

Photos should be up. A couple of other updates to wrap up; should be done in a few minutes.

This is a pretty rough week you guys.

For Nobody

Hey.

It's late. I'm still not very together. It's going to take some time...

...just like tonight's posting. Hope it will now (finally) be available.

Also, anonymous commenting should now be available when you click on a post title.

Sorry for all delays. Hoping you are well.

Take care.

Quick update

Hi,

From what I've been told, the College will be open tomorrow. Not too many other places will be, but that's the news.

You may complain to me if you wish, of course.

I'll update you again if the situation changes.

I sincerely hope that all of you are doing okay after what was a traumatic morning for many in this community. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

Steppin' Out

It felt like a long week.

I was pretty worn down by the time I rolled home today. I guess that needs to be remedied, and I'll work on it.

Sorry if I did seem a bit out-of-sorts from time to time...I'd say I was, for various reasons.

Nice to meet all of you and I am flattered/honored/surprised to have your interest in my course. If you're going to stick with it, that's even better. I will do what I can to make it a positive experience for as many of you as possible.

Stuff from today should be available. Might be more over the weekend - I'll check in if that's the case.

Take care and thank you.

Later

Stuff got posted - I promise!

I get up I get down

Hello.

Posted some stuff earlier this evening. Might be able to get a few more things done, but we'll see.

Until I see you next, do take care.

By George

Good evening.

I got some material up about 90 minutes ago, and I have just added a bit more. That might be it for now.

Thrilling, as always.

You can click here if you wish to relive the exciting presentation from today.

Or maybe check this out instead. Good night!

Long time

It's been a while. Summer isn't over, but vacation time has come to a close.

Good job by "Rookie_101"

If you are wondering (as several people apparently are) if there is room in any one of my sections, you have to show up to find out. That's the only answer I have for you. Hope to see you there, although you may not be able to stay...

...but maybe that's for the best. It's not going to be "fun" or "good" or "cool" or anything.

Any questions on course materials, et cetera...also to be settled at our first meeting.

See you tomorrow, or perhaps Tuesday, and then after that...we'll see.

Take care.

Beam me up already

Poll results

Your stuff's up.

Results:  your next Bay Area champion.

One more poll.  What shall it be?

Have a good night.

15 May

Looks like the same scenario...material posted earlier, notification posted later.  Hmmm...

...maybe I got hacked, I don't know.

As a "by the way," I should point out that recently returned Exams which were offered in the "take-home" format were graded on a bit of a curve.  That's why individual problems didn't have deductions.  I tried to be as generous as I could be, given the circumstances.  If you have questions about your work, you could ask me.

See you next week.  Enjoy the weekend.

14 May

Photos were posted surprisingly early...making this post surprisingly late.

Blah.

13 May

Photos should be up.

P4 for MATH 94 should also be available...answers soon-ish.

The temperature is also up!

Hope you can stay cool.

Oversights

I posted Monday's photos early in the evening, then meant to post about it, but got diverted and distracted.  Not good.  Sorry.

Also forgot to post this a few days ago, but maybe that's not as important.

Who knows if any of it is important?

8 May

There is a good chance today's photos are now available.

Have a nice evening!

7 May

Photos just went up.

Have a nice evening.

6 May

Hi.

I posted material earlier this evening.

Hope you're doing well.  If you have a moment, be sure to vote in the exciting new poll (to your left).

Take care.

5 May

Hello.

Today's material should now be available.

I hope that if you are celebrating Cinco de Mayo this evening that you do so safely and all...but do have fun, enjoy yourself.

It's kind of an important day for me for other reasons, but hey, maybe the same is true for you.

Take care.

 

3 May

Hi.

I did get Thursday's photos up...but a couple of days late, obviously.  Sorry for the delay.

Also updated the more "traditional" Homeworks.

More to come.

Enjoy the Kentucky Derby, if horse racing is your thing, or if you just enjoy the spectacle.

Gone a little over a year. Rest in peace, Possum.

At least try to enjoy the weekend.  Thank you and take care.

30 April

Might as well get a post in before the calendar flips again.

Yesterday's photos went up last night.  Today's should now be available.  Trying hard to keep up with you guys.  Sorry again about Monday...

Been kind of sad lately.  It happens.

Take care.

Update

Just checking in to say that I think tonight's photos are up, just like last night.

Working hard, but not doing very well. Sad.

I hope you are well.

Quick

Hey, the Reviews (Practice Exams) are about to go up.

Sorry for the delay.  Had a little trouble finding everything I needed!

Also photos from yesterday should have gone up last night. I hope.

Have a nice day and fine weekend as well.  I'll be back if anything warrants it.

If you have the time, check it ALL out.

IB41

Hey.

The photos are up - still working on some other things.  I have plenty of other shit to do on the "non-academic" but "college-related" side, thanks to some "bigwigs" and their "bullshit."

But I digress.

(It happens a lot, I know)

Tired of me yet?

My epic Palpatine Maths Mashup is still in production.

Good night.

Infrequency

I updated during the week, but it seems I didn't have the ambition to put up a blog post.

I have (probably) completed the updates for the week now, though, so a post seemed appropriate.

I should report on the results from the last poll:

Question: What were your plans for the spring recess?

I didn't see any comment as to what the "Other" might have been.

As you know, I went on vacation.  Here is an exclusive travel video.

The current poll is tracking heavily in favor of a 13th Quiz.

I will update the Tentative Semester Calendar appropriately.

I wish you a wonderful weekend.  Take care.

...we're back!

But I am just beat.

Yup.

This week's photos finally up. Take care you guys.

HOF, come on.

20 March

Whoa, how time flies.

I think I'm done with work for a little while.

%$(@ing right.

Enjoy your spring recess and I hope to see you on the other side...

Bye!

11 March

Photos up. Good night!

Hey!

I found this vid, which is great.

I also posted photos (fingers crossed!).

Good night!

The third poll of the semester has closed and here are the results:

• In-n-Out       17
• Squeeze Inn   9
• Other             4
• Don't Eat            
• Five Guys      1
• Nation's
• Wendy's        

One "other" commented that Hurley's is good.

That's 37 votes, so I leave the percentages to you.

The winner:

Double char

First charburger was down in Santa Barbara. Could not have been happier when they showed up here.

I'm doing some photo editing and then grading.  New poll, too.

For now, those who took an exam today...put it out of your mind.  Definitely don't talk about it with anyone.  There is a good reason for this, I promise.

Have a great night!

Hee hee.

4 March

...and we're back.

See you soon.

 

26 February 2

More timely!

I just want this week to be over.

26 February

Attitude:

Please don't try, though.

19 February

Hi.

Today's photos are up.

I don't know, just take it.

Have you voted in my poll(s)? Tell your friends, invite your family, whatever.

Have a nice evening.

Be the funk.
