Carnival of Education

Yesterday, I submitted my observations about the NCTM Conference to the Carnival of Education. This morning they posted a link to my site. So far, 21 people have followed the link to visit.

It's really cool and kind of scary that strangers are reading my thoughts. I wonder if I should have taken steps to remain anonymous... Oh well, it's too late now.

I suppose it will be fine as long as my principal doesn't find out that other principals want me to move to New Mexico.

By the way, what is there to do on the weekends in New Mexico?

Update: As of 10:45 California time, I've had 41 visitors from the Carnival of Education.

Blog Critics

I just joined blogcritics.org. Its a place where bloggers can post reviews of books, movies, etc. So whenever I review a book or something, I will also post a copy there.

But you, my faithful readers, don't need to go through blogcritics to buy the book. Feel free to go directly to amazon.

As soon as I can I am also going to put a link to blogcritics and amazon in my sidebar. (My grades are due this week and I really should be working.)

One Billion Links

I wish.

That's the number of links being tracked by technorati as of March 31 at 24 minutes after midnight (or 1224 am) in San Francisco.

This strange post is my guess at the time they will hit one billion links. They are sponsoring a contest with the grand prize of an IPod.

Since I just bought my new PowerBook I thought an IPod would make a nice addition. So I've spent hours and hours researching the trends to calculate my best guess. (Just kidding. I think I spent about 10 minutes. Its taken longer to type up my post.)

I discovered this contest by reading David Sifry's weblog. He is, apparently, the founder and CEO of technorati.

You can find a list of other guesses here.
