What is a Cap Stone?


So as you may have guessed a "cap stone" is the final piece placed on a structure like a building or wall. After traveling to Stockton tonight and watching the MAIT graduates place their final stone I feel a lot better about the light at the end of the tunnel.

I thought that they presentations were very well done, short and too the point. I also was surprised about the number of people who were there to watch, it made me feel good that past and future graduates were all there to support our program. My thoughts now move to what will my topic be.... History related? Secondary School related? Student centered? Teacher centered?

On to bigger things; should Arizona enforce their immigration laws? Should our government be in charge of policing the financial institutions?
Will the Mets win 8 in a row?

My thoughts on Rainbows...

A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere. They take the form of a multicoloured arc, with red on the outer part of the arch and violet on the inner section of the arch.


Thats it.

If you are not prepared to be wrong...

Well... here goes nothing. I have always shied away from things like facebook and blogs and stuff that would force me to interact with people but the time has come. Why you may ask? Two reasons
  1. It is a course requirement for the MAIT
  2. I recently heard a great quote and was going to share it with my students until I realized that I could take a bit of advice from it myself
"If you are not prepared to be wrong, you will never come up with anything original"
