So my laptop doesn’t exactly look like this one, but it sure seems like it. For the past week (and probably the next two) I’ve been dealing with the absence of my wonderfully fast and efficient Gateway laptop. Now a word of disclaimer to all my mac-loving, pc-hating “friends” who are simply savoring every word of this post, the issue involved IS NOT a software or hardware malfunction, but rather a crack in the rear hinge due to all the transportation and effective use I get out of my machine.

So needless to say, the past several weeks have forced me to learn patience…

Anyway, in the meantime, some updates (while I wait for this machine to process zeros and ones more slowly than I could write them in Japanese….)

1. If you are on Facebook, you can now embed your favorite posts from this blog directly into your mini-feed! Check out the “Share on Facebook” link at the bottom of each post.

2. Our second semester at Cochran has begun, meaning that all of the kids (as of a week ago) have an “A” in algebra. This will be sure to change as we take our first quiz of the new semester tomorrow… a quiz that deals with systems of equations (remember those fun things?)

3. I’ve been messing with a Firefox browser plug-in called FoxyTunes, which seems to not only integrate wonderfully with my browser, but within WordPress as well! Yay for Web 2.0!

As I wait for my laptop to return, I give no guarantees about the frequency of posting. It’s hard to justify spending literally three times as long doing something that’s as important as this!

Here’s to a great week!
