Pinellas’ national search for a new superintendent continues to attract candidates with serious baggage. Last week, it was Maritza D.

I started taking graduate matsci courses several years ago at the UW via the Edge program, and also took some on campus. I have found it hard to continue though as the UW materials science school doesn’t have a deep schedule, and they have decommitted from the distance learning effort.

DOPA or the Deleting Online Predators Act was such a stupid idea that it seemed to require special words that went beyond merely calling it “stupid.” It was maroonic; it was betarded; it was stooptastic. The basic principle was that it should be mandated by the federal government that schools and libraries block access to online social networking sites, but it was dressed up with a lot of fear-mongering about online predators, and nobody wants to seem soft on child molesters during an electionIdentifying great engineers and on project postmortems
Here are a couple of links through stackoverflow podcast: [1] Steve Yegge writes about probably the only reliable way of identifying great engineers: working with them.

The first internal candidate to be Pinellas County’s next superintendent comes from Clearwater High School. He’s John B. Russell, a plant operator with the district since 1995, who submitted a two-sentence letter asking to be interviewed for the job. “Don’t take it seriously,” Russell told The Gradebook. But he did say to call him back if he’s lucky enough to be interviewed. By the way, pay for plant operators ranges from $9.39 an hour to $29.27 an hour.
