Way back in the year 2000, when I first started teaching at La Entrada, I created my website with the dual purpose of posting math class related content and, more importantly, to perpetuate and elucidate and ennunciate the Picetti Doctrine. While the first stated purpose was functional enough and politely received, it was all the extra junk that I put on my site that seemed to meet with the approval of both my students and their parents alike.
Years flew by in the seeming blink of an eye and things on my site got a bit stale so I tweaked the format a bit last year in an effort to make posting a little more exciting for me to post and update. Well, it was fine through the first month or so of school and then I all but abandoned the old site by January 2006.
Now, here we are, on the virtual eve of the new school year and I am fresh and rested and full of energy to dive back into the old school routine and to even try out some new things. It is in the spirit of new things that I roll out my old column, Rants and Raves, from my website of yester-year in the new format of a wordpress blog. This is something that I feel will be fun to work on (almost) daily and I can’t wait to see where this new project will be in a few weeks, a few months, and perhaps a few years from now.
So, for the time being , please pardon our amateurish appearance. I plan on figuring this thing out as I go. If you are a fan of rambling discourse and random, trivial minutae, then you have landed on the right page. All I know is that my dream of having a place of my own called jason.com is actually a reality. So what if it is jasondotcom.wordpress.com; I can live with that. The question is, can you?
Welcome to jasondotcom and I’ll see you tomorrow.
Jason
