Ten Natural Steps to Training the Family Dog by Matthew P. Duffy (2009)
In preparation for having a dog, I’ve been reading up on how to train them. I don’t want to just go by blog posts, webpages or casual suggestions. A book would explain the whole thing, and provide a coherent approach. Ten Natural Steps to Training the Family Dog by Matthew P. Duffy is the book I like the most. The other books assume that the dog will eventually be going to shows or be a fancy dog.

World War II is interesting because so much modern technology became practical. Airplanes, jets, tanks, radar, machine guns, submarines and radios. Also, we have movies from the war.
Note: I wrote this two months ago.
When it first came out in 2005, I didn’t much like Mr. & Mrs. Smith. There was too much bickering. A decade later, I liked it much better, and having just rewatched, found it to be about as good as a movie gets.
In 2014, district servers were too much of a pain in the ass, so I moved my class Moodle site to a privately hosted server. I was following a webcomic called Basic Instructions. I like the way Scott Meyer looks at the world. This was his logo, and as it matched my educational philosophy, when I needed a domain name, Big Stick seemed good.
