My friend Peter has started a blog. I am very impressed, as might be inevitable, since it rather resembles my blog, in some respects. Plus, he gave me props on opening day. I guess this presupposes that I find my own blog impressive. I'm not sure that's really the case, but I think I deserve some credit for sheer persistence: I'm approaching 3000 posts, and have been at it since 2004 (with some really, really long breaks in the early years, but basically almost daily since mid 2007).
At this point, my favorite posts are his post-4 (because linguistics) and post-5 (because funny student behavior = always a win). Also liked his several posts about robot-teachers. It gave me an idea for a debate topic, which I immediately used: I gave "Robot teachers will be better teachers" to my students for a "instant debate" topic. Video forthcoming, perhaps.
