will not send it via email!

dear all,


may i remind you that the name of the blog is "dogtime class of 2008" and not "ask zsolt"?

after a few months i'll not be part of it so to put it in other words it is up you guys what you want with such a blog, use it or not, structure it or not... i did ask you guys in a previous email to suggest categories, etc...

barbara's suggestion "to prepare" a presentation in class via the blog is excellent! i would also warmly welcome a presentation in class on what to do with info overload under the title, i don't know, "click it or skip it?" (subtitles practices or strategies)- any volunteers?

(or one could do "post-production" as i tried to do in some of my posts) but if you want to know what i think of personal little notes on whatever in this "universe" well to start with black holes exist and maybe it is not a universe after all but an omniverse... (beware if you force me i can make up words for things! )

by giving a title to an entry you can direct to "categories" but all palpable suggestions are welcome! i am as new to this particular blog set up (blogspot) as you are!)

singing out for now!

sleep well,

zsolt
