Listen to the theme.

I dreamt of flying around the old neighbourhood and kissing Lois Lane. Christopher Reeves was super.

A quarter century love affair

6 Before LAN gaming, we competed with ourselves. The light from the green

Mamma Mia!

Anni, Benny, Bjorn & Agnetha...

What did I learn in class today?



1. 4-6pm, 34 degrees and 99% humidity is about the worst moment to get teenagers to sit still.

2. Jokes help, even awful ones.
A Singaporean, a Malaysian and a Thai walked into a pub one day...

3. Teach with lots of specimens and hands-on to keep them (and self) from dozing.
Eeek! Watch that Isoptera disintegrate...

4. It's no harm letting them make some noise or dismissing them early.

Gives me an idea of the level of learning

4. Plan practical to minimise waiting time & around available resources.
3 hours of 7 replicates is 21 man-hours wasted. Consider resources that allow for parallel use
