Enthusiasm!

Tris Hussey:
So today’s TEDx event was focused on education, a topic near and dear to me because am, after all, and educator as well. Not only do I write books, but I teach as well. In fact, next Saturday (next week), I’ll be right back at UBC Robson Square to teach my Building Websites with WordPress class. Fitting then that I would be at my first TED experience, which focused on education, in the very place where I educate others.
Gee, I hope pipefitting instructors have the sense of mission that this gentleman does. The next set of cubicle drones is in good hands.

    Talk to Jennifer and BG. It's way too hard for me.

  2. Oops those ladies use typepad.

    Talk to Ned, oh wait he's an engineer, so probably you have to take the class after all.

  3. Wha...???

    Building a WEBSITE with WORDPRESS?

    Man, talk about using the wrong tool for the wrong job.

    Sure, I knew people who wrote letters in Lotus123, but this is ten thousand times worse.

    This is like deciding to go to Cleveland on an Alligator....

  4. There'd be a panic, the alligator would tip over and catastrophe would ensue.
