2 mini blog challenges + “who r u reader” survey results

What a great idea, Brad! It’s really interesting to see who the people that pass by your blog are. 

Keep up the good work, I really enjoy reading what you have to say and it always gets me thinking about one thing or another, which is exactly why I like reading blogs in the first place –> in order to think. Thank you. 

Have a great day!

“Brad is my buddy” ahaha excellent, les joies du networking !

Merci 4 the comment, Jem and it’s so cool to have so many great educators connect here, there and over there.  Couldn’t have imagined this only a few years back (which I know you can identify with).  Best from Paris, -b

tout à fait.  bonne journée à toi, Maylis

Brad says to Chicken:  ”taking the picture” and “neither…archaebacteria came first”  ;-)

That chicken is undoubtedly thinking “Man! This is one tough egg to crack”

I like it.  But would almost be better if he were to tell a pirate joke… don’t have one by chance do you, Dave?  ;-)

I can TOTALLY identify with that. It’s amazing how much I learn, get inspired and find motivation to improve online. I feel sorry for those that aren’t on here, and hope that they will find their way here soon!

I’d rather say the bird’s singing: I’m sitting high,
                                                                  I’m seeing far.
                                                                  Now I’d like to try
                                                                  Fly to that big farm.
 I would meet my friends
 And invite them all
 To call on my friend
 Sitting there alone.

Sorry I missed the survey Brad…

As for question one, ‘why do you come to this blog’…I think that all of the above reasons apply to me.

I like unique communication styles, ‘Brain & biscuits’…and especially the fact that there is so much substance behind the fun exterior!!

As for style , I think I mean a kind of right-brain flow that’s easy to digest – some academic blogs are very heavy on the neurons..

Love it… did you just think that up, Alexandra?

Yes, I do tend to vulgarize the message here, and that doesn’t mean that I don’t appreciate the “heavy on the neurons” too, but I think I want to have as wide of a reading public as possible, so I keep it simple.

Brain & Biscuits for breakfast this morning.  Thanks Sylvie!!!

Vulgar is NOT the word. What I meant was that visual & humorous writing styles appeal to me more than encylopedic, retentive jargon, that has little humane element attached.

I wouldn’t say they’re simple either – there’s always a lot behind the humour. Knowledge should flow not stagnate, so a message can be deep without being heavy.

Biscuits are certainly preferable to cement;)

Glad you liked it, Brad.
 Yes,  I like rhyming. 

You are 100% right, and I am 100% concerned because it seems my French is seeping into my English after having been here for almost 3 years.  In French if you say “vulgariser” it simply means to make something more readable for the wide public, as in “vulgariser les textes d’Einstein” = making Einstein’s work readable for all.

Ay yai yai… Greek even sneak into your English?

And yes, I prefer biscuits over cement!

nice! me too

Chicken says: I like this egghead! Maybe I’ll hang round and see whether some fine feathered fowl emerges.

That head belongs to a good egg indeed, so i’m not surprised the chicken would say that!

Yep. I say open and close mikes, lights etc. instead of turn on , turn off…

As for the chicken..’that was a nice foot massage; now where are my socks’?
