Thoughts of the now

I’ll talk about the following today:

• Academic Honesty
• Snow Based Hysteria

Academic Honesty

Question of the day:

You’re given an assignment. You’ve got to write an ethics essay. You wrote one two years ago for another class. Is it academically honest to reuse the paper? Why/Why Not?

Snow Forecasted != snowmygod / New Ice Storm. The big ice storm was pretty easy to see coming, remember:

See that purple and blue stuff? That‘s what you need to be freaking out about.
