Most of my students are risk-averse, strategic, and heavily into default mode despite the fact that I have repeatedly advised them that I value risk.
This seems to be a factor in all levels of education. This is a BIG problem, because we require citizens who think and are open to taking risks. It also reminds me that if I tell students I value risk, I need to stand behind that in my reactions.
Picture books can also be used effectively to study art history. Stu dents can identify the borrowings from famous painters found in chil dren's book illustration
This reminds me of the poetry article where it talked about students writing a poem with the same style of a famous poem. students can do the same thing with the use of picture books using the same style to create a picture of their own. Also if they want to take it a step farther they can write with a similar style as well.
So you follow that path, which leads you where the store wants you to go. It leads you away from the exits and toward the interior. When you want to go up, the elevators are always hidden so that you’re more likely to take the escalator. Once you get to the next level, you have to walk all the way around the other side to keep going up, so you see everything showcased on that floor.”
Reminds me of IKEA lol
dis-mayed that the joy and hope-fulness experienced with the removal of the shah has been replaced by an equally oppressive regime.
Reminds me of when Cabo Verde became free from colonialism but right away became a dictatorship by a party of the "liberator" heroes. The excitement soon was replaced with new fears and new chains.

This interestingly reminds me of Conway's Game of Life! (Who knows if it is a game according to these standards honestly)
I feel naked/lost/afraid without my phone. I am enslaved by my smartphone.
This article, and sentence, reminds me of the discussion we are having this semester, in my class #inf115, with @avunque. We are discussing two other articles. One is by Sherry Turkle called "Stop Googling. Let's Talk". http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/27/opinion/sunday/stop-googling-lets-talk.html?_r=1
The other one is by Nathan Jurgenson (@nathanjurgenson) called "Fear of Screens".http://thenewinquiry.com/essays/fear-of-screens/
This year the topic for our class is Reclaiming the Web, which comes together with Sherry Turkle’s new book called Reclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital Age.

Anecdotally, students were animated to show their work each week, highly productivestudents more often worked in groups, and conversations around quests were much lessrelated to scoring and points and much more related to increasing the quality andprofessionalism of the products.
This reminds me of digital storytelling from last summer and how at the end four of us (+Remi) worked together on our last assignment!
thy rhythmic lover thou answerest
this makes me think that whatever the subject did, she was convinced to do so by someone enticing. 'rhythmic' reminds me of musicians, who are always a little crazy, but entertaining. With that, the subject must have been entertained enough to do was the rhythmic lover suggested
naughty thumb of science prodded
this made me think that the scientists are like children. 'naughty' is a word you say to a kid as you slap their wrists and tell them they did something wrong. And a thumb reminds me a child sucking on one, innocently. So maybe the scientists here are prodding and poking like children
Dat's de reason de sister in black works harder than anybody else in de world. De white man tells de nigger to work and he takes and tells his wife.
This kind of reminds me of the story of Pandoras box, however it relays something good for the omens curiosity for opening the box and seeing why everyone was struggling. This also as an example of the stroeotypes about African Americans we talk about on monday
the Lord you’re gettin’ more like a girl every day!”
Text to Text: In this section, Jem reminds me of the narrator in "The Scarlet Ibis" ... they both expect different behaviors from their siblings than they're really able to provide. They act like the "typical" big brother, always annoyed at the childishness of younger siblings.

This just reminds me how social everything really is. We don't think that something as simple and ordinary as humour can play a role into something as complex as society, but it really does. Again, one of those simple, but brilliant things when you put serious thought into it.

reminds me of Maslow's hierarchy
This part right here reminds me of the conceptual metaphors we discussed last class, except this version seems more abstract. We are understanding one conceptual domain (Shahrazad's situation) in terms of another (the donkey and the ox tale). However, in this case, the vizier is instrumental in the audience and Shahrazad's understanding of the connection while most conceptual metaphors can we teased apart on our own. Shahrazad would remain unaware of the parallels without the aid of the vizier, but the end result is the same: a greater understadning of worldly relationships and similarities. This underscores the significance of storytellers in our society.
This reminds me of the reproduction of art that Benjamin explained. Blaine's act was obviously influenced by different historical circumstances than Houdini or Burden, but the aura is the same.
Several report that they only speak English and could not function as adults in their country of origin.
this reminds me of a report I saw on the news about a mass Mexican deportation in the 30's there were even US citizens deported at the time, but could not function in Mexico
Listening
This paragraph makes a great point. Even with the privileged on "speaking up" and "voice", the action of listening is implied. It reminds me of something I read about how in the 20s, 30s, and 40 in the USA so much emphasis was put on materialism and the attributes of the Salseman persona, that words like 'introvert' were given negative connotation.
So much of the early days of Social Media has vilified 'listenting'.
game's design is well done and when players that I encounter show their appreciation of its design
Have you ever read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance? Your comment here reminds me of the author's perspective on defining "quality."
Educational practice first
reminds me of @lisaMLane 's Pedagogy First that I discovered in 2011 and finally managed to get back into and finish in 2014.
yes Pedagogy is always first, May be like an artist's idea or feeling that then can be expressed in so many different ways. ( Metaphors are tricky and never perfect but ..) :)
Technology can inspire new ways of augmenting/expanding/personalizing/connecting etc. :) pedagogy and learning.
This reminds me of a strategy I often employ - storytelling. It works especially well for last-minute memorization. It can be a long story with every concept incorporated into it, or it can be sequences of short stories that you find funny or memorable. Doodling sounds like the drawing form of the same thing.
if you ask them to draw you a picture, you’ll likely get wildly different takes.
This reminds me of way too many group projects... somehow we also find out the day before the deadline that we were thinking about and working on completely different ideas.
It’s user-friendly
It is user friendly because it is completely personalized and unique to each person and each person's way of picturing and representing something in life. For example, the word evolution might remind me of the Poptropica game in the Jurassic age while it reminds someone else of straight biology.

Ph.D. or Death

This all reminds me of one of the major categories personality typing indicators sets out. I think it is the "caregiver" category which they estimate constitutes half of western populations.
he annotations I explore, by contrast, are sometimes barely legible, tan-talizingly irrelevant to the texts before them, evasive, duplicitous, or just plain weird.
Reminds me of stream of consciousness writing, a genre in and on itself, that is sprinkled with equal parts ridiculousness and genius. See: Faulkner's As I Lay Dying, "my mother is a fish."
matter what our personal feelings about po etry are, as teachers we must endeavor to teach po etry to our students.
this reminds me a lot of what my Math 106 teacher said. She once told me that no mater how a teacher personally feels about math they should find a way to love it when teaching. Often when students see their teacher not like math that feeling will translate to them. Poetry can be the same way. If you see someone else enjoy it you will give it a better chance to enjoy it as well.
#66. Music Makes You Stronger
According to the evidence I found, and supported by the U.S. Sport Academy in Sports Exercise Science, Sports Studies and Sports Psychology, I conclude that even though there are multiple researches that support the fact that music has a potential to elicit a significant effect of performance (Karageorghis & Terry, 1997), the statement isn’t accurately expressed. In other words, music definitely plays a role when it comes to being an ideal accompaniment for training, but it doesn’t have any link with physical strength itself. Studies reveal that there is five ways in which music influence preparation and competitive performances: dissociation, arousal regulation, synchronization, acquisition of motor skills, and attainment of flow (Karageorghis, Lee Priest, 2008). Paula Radcliffe, the world record–holding marathoner manifests “I put together a playlist and listen to it during the run-in. It helps psych me up and reminds me of times in the build-up when I’ve worked really hard, or felt good. With the right music, I do a much harder workout.” This is how, it is NOT that music makes you stronger, but enhances your motivation and allows you to have a mental disposition that favors your physical performance. As supported by Bateman, music enhances the positive aspects of mood such as vigor, excitement and happiness, reducing at the same time the negative aspects like boredom, tension, anger, fatigue (2008), and collectively, the benefits impact the adherence to exercise by making the activities more pleasurable. In another study, conducted by Brunel University of London, one of the main demonstrated benefits of music was that it enhances psychological state, which has implications for optimizing pre-competition mental state and increasing the enjoyment of training activities (Karageorghis, Terry, 2008). Bateman supports the same claim: ‘in the domain of sport and exercise, researchers have primarily explored the psychological, psychophysical and ergogenic effects of music. Psychological effects refer to how music influences mood, emotion, affect (feelings of pleasure or displeasure), cognition, and behaviour.’ (Bateman, 2008).
The literature on the subject is wide. In the surgical scenario, for example, and as expressed on the medical article ‘Don’t Rely on Music Alone to Ease Postsurgery Pain, Researchers Say’, specialists confirm that patients who listened to music after surgery tended to report less pain intensity and required slightly smaller doses of painkillers, compared with those who didn't listen to music. However, what music does is to elicit relaxation, but does NOT appear to equal the pain relief of drugs (Hitti, 2006).
in what ways do you design your open experiences to allow for the kind of serendipity you do not anticipate?
A beautiful, powerful question. Reminds me:
First - of the important distinction between "creating the conditions for" some type of practice (like scientific inquiry, or aesthetic representation, or debate) - and which then also welcomes unanticipated outcomes - in contrast to creating a design that only ensures "outcome X." And...
Second - The difference between games and puzzles. Puzzles are designed with pre-determined one right answers. Think crosswords or tabletop image-based puzzles. Games, on the other hand, create conditions for a certain type of play, and by definition have unanticipated outcomes. While there may be "win states," the question of who wins, and how, is not known when the experience begins. The differences between puzzles and games - as a broader metaphor - is relevant. Designing experiences to allow for unanticipated serendipity - engagement, process, outcome - is more similar to creating (and playing) a game than designing and completing a puzzle.
real-time commentary happening in the core of the thing being commented upon
Reminds me of "live tweeting," where people tweet their reactions at the very moment the thought is born. This is specifically done in response to movies, books, tv shows, fan fiction, etc. Live tweeting itself has become a kind of entertainment genre that many people follow religiously. For example, Muggle Hustle was incredibly popular a couple of years ago on Twitter, so much so that the guy responsible managed to create a whole brand out of it, including merchandise, etc. Muggle Hustle basically follows the live tweets of an adult man reading the Harry Potter series for the first time. It's great.
The aspect of the novel which we have discussed so far is the narrator’s continual endeavor to stimulate the reader’s mind through extensive commentaries on the actions of the characters.
This again reminds me of Calvino - so little is focussed on the actions of others and more so on the interactions between the narrator - you - and so a really unique discourse is formed. It almost self-annotates, especially in the preface in which Calvino seems to almost magically know exactly what you are doing, and in an attempt to change the discourse of the book, you rebel against it. It's almost an act of physical annotation, in my mind, because you're interacting with the book in a whole new dimension. Might be getting to hyped about the word annotation though...
Le Corbusier states that it’s a “great pity” that his plans do not take into account the various complexities including financial figures
This reminds me of the architect of Pruitt-Igoe. He had a specific vision for the housing projects he wanted to build, but never really took into account the financial limitations that he would face building them. Maybe housing projects aren't as successful as they are expected to be because the architect failed to take into account what resources they would have at their disposal and also the financial toll maintenance would take on residents.
Human memory is thestorage medium with the longest history, and it remains crucial today de-spite our reliance on other devices, from ink on paper to computers.
This reminds me entirely of Benjamin's nostalgia for oral storytelling, and how as storytelling transforms into the novel, so does our transference of "storage," so to speak, from the human mind to other devices.
the man whose attitudes shape the book (implied author)
Reminds me a bit of John Hosper's theory of music where all levels of experience were isolated and objective: the music had it's own expression, the author had his/her own expression and the listener had their own response -- much like how it is here: all three levels are separate from one another.
vulgar monetary gain...
I think it is more in terms of "vulgar prestige gain" and how we extract value by promoting a cult of personality around community leaders which in turn increases the prestige value. Reminds me of corporations buying back their own stock in order to concentrate wealth in the hands of stockholders aka executives with stock options. Employees could be paid better wages and in turn could fuel the economy by buying more, but that is not how it works because it does not benefit those who own the capital.

I want to be able to comment on the gif of the bird and say how beautifully it reminds me that learners can be fragile, and that trust is important.
The FBI argues this is an isolated incident involving a single iPhone 5C used by one of the terrorists involved with the December massacre in San Bernardino, California, and is necessary to keep Americans safe from future attacks.
This is the heart of the issue for my inquiry question. Is this an isolated incident? And even if it is what will prevent the government, not just the FBI from using this "back-door approach" for something they deem necessary? How strict are these rules? This issue reminds me of The Patriot Act of 2001, laws that would potentially help counter terrorism, but the lines blur on personal privacy.
It reminds me of the New Math of the 1960s, which fashioned mathematics in a dramatically more abstract, more analytic way than before. And if Johnny Can’t Add with the new math, maybe Jenny Won’t Code with an overly abstract presentation of computing. Papert points us in the opposite direction
It’s a source of power to do something and figure things out, in a dance between the computer and our thoughts. The inversion, starting with computing as a formal thing to understand and then come to the application later, takes away its power.
The character of these games is so novel that many of have taken to using the phrase “personal games” to describe them (Alexander, 2013a; Bernardi, 2013), a label that many game designers seem to have cautiously embraced7
This reminds me of something I read about why games designed by women aren't popular. See also: Depression Quest by Zoe Quinn, the discussion of which was a catalyst for anti-feminist backlash of the likes of gamergate.
ILT5320
I’ve had this argument about whether it was “technically” rape
This reminds me of a Language and Gender class I took in 2004; people in general were very uncomfortable discussing rape in broader contexts (aka, outside of violent attacks). We also discussed sexual harassment and abuse within online gaming communities. Gaming communities weren't as popular at that time, and many classmates felt like something happening "virtually" didn't count - almost to the point where people didn't understand why we were even discussing the topic. It would be interesting to know what a class of undergrads would have to say today; I wonder if the perspective has changed much (from some of our current reading, I would guess that it hasn't!).
"His mind wanders. He was thinking of the plague that followed the gales," plaintively sighed the servant; "my poor, poor master!" wringing one hand, and with the other wiping the mouth. "But be patient, Señor," again turning to Captain Delano, "these fits do not last long; master will soon be himself."
While apt for slave-master relationship, Babo's insistence of addressing Cereno as "master" constantly makes a suspicion of any ulterior motives palpable. He actually reminds me somewhat of Gollum from Lord of the Rings.
As master and man stood before him, the black upholding the white, Captain Delano could not but bethink him of the beauty of that relationship which could present such a spectacle of fidelity on the one hand and confidence on the other.
This reminds me of Nathaniel Parker Willis's "Night Funeral of a Slave," wherein a slave owner mourns the death of his slave. In the piece, there is a deliberate emphasis by the owner that his slave is also his friend, his most trusted companion. However, that manipulation can be seen blatantly throughout the text as ownership and possession are hidden in the guise of friendship, through the use of extremely racial rhetoric, specifically, the emphasis on color. This type of manipulation, or perception perhaps, can be seen often in Benito Cereno, particularly when Delano perceives Babo.
The low-rent public housing program was the original effort through which the federal government supported this policy goal. While public housing is a federally created and funded program, administered at the federal level by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the properties are owned and managed at the local level by quasi-governmental public housing authorities (PHAs) under contract with the federal government.
This reminds me a lot of Section 8, a form of aid given to low income families as well as elderly and disabled individuals through forms of public housing.
re-creation
Reminds me of think tanks or open platforms online where people use open sourced material in order to collaborate on a variety of artistic projects; specifically, HitRecord, an online production company.
As Engelbart’s example makes clear, the work of annotation is already a thing all students and scholars do: we work over other people’s texts in order to better understand it. Being able to draw on the experiences of others is also surely helpful.
The phrasing of this, and the image Jones paints of annotations reminds me of a set of building blocks. By annotating a text, we are not only able to build upon the original foundations of the text (the original knowledge we are able to garner from it) but also add to it ourselves, thus creating something new altogether. Keeping with the analogy, annotations also seem to allow us a method with which to dive beneath the original building blocks of a text, and discover its framework and bones as well.
Medieval marginalia is so well-known that amusing or disconcerting instances of it are fodder for viral aggregators such as Buzzfeed and Brainpickings, and the fascination with other readers’ reading is manifest in sites such as Melville’s Marginalia Online or Harvard’s online exhibit of marginalia from six personal libraries.
A story within a story (within a story?). The notes jotted down in the margins is often a private act, something that is profoundly for the self, however, Jones's mention of the variety of now-famous marginal notes (be it Medieval or otherwise) speaks to the act of annotation as a whole; an act for the self as one communicates with the text, that is made famous through publication, and that ultimately informs others as well.
As a side note, this reminds me of the book J.J. Adams and Doug Dorst published a while back, where one of the stories unfolds mainly through an endless conversation in the margins of a book.
and pretty soon the Reactions will take on new meanings to better suit their uses. Consider, for example that “like” has already taken on a new life as a noun, as in “How many Likes did the post
reminds me of the discussion about language and gender
The early successes in breeding rice and wheat MVs reflected the advanced state of research on those crops in the late 1950s.
This reminds me of what is called "golden Rice." Referring to a GMO created rice that is orange because they added extra nutrients from carrots, to try to help developing countries get their proper nutrients
One difficulty for both sorts of hedonism is the hedonistic paradox, which may be put as follows. Many of the deepest and best pleasures of life (of love, of child rearing, of work) seem to come most often to those who are engaging in an activity for reasons other than pleasure seeking. Hence, not only is it dubious that we always in fact seek (or value only) pleasure, but also dubious that the best way to achieve pleasure is to seek it.
Best pleasures come from activities motivated by a reason other than pleasure seeking.
Reminds me of when you find a missing object when you aren't looking for it.
Similar to the endless cycle of happiness.
thedecorativetreatmentofaroomtheimportanceofopeningscanhardlybeoverestimated.
Windows have such a huge impact on how people feel in certain rooms, which reminds me of Yi-Fu Tuan's statement about instructive architecture. A window teaches people that a room that, for example, is well lit and has a nice view is a comfortable place to stay in for a while. Having too big or too small a window can both diminish that sense of comfort.

This discussion of style and proportion reminds me a lot of George Orwell's approach to language in his Politics of the English Language, where he emphasizes the need for a simple and structurally sound base before any fancy ornamentation or extreme stylistic twist should be made on any spoken or written word. A sentence that uses large, polysyllabic words is of no use if it does not follow rudimentary grammatical rules that render it useful in communication.
The purpose of this is to take advantage of the potential that games have in terms of encouraging players to “try on” virtual identi
This reminds me of the foreign language classroom, where students often choose a name in the language being learned in order to facilitate natural conversation. Over time, students may even adopt an identity that connects them to their foreign language learning and makes it more meaningful/intentional ILT5320
Most of the world’s poorest people are undernourished, lack access to safe drinking water or even the most basic health services and cannot send their children to school.
This reminds me of what's going on in Flint Michigan.
Simply reading titles like The Art of the Pen: Calligraphy of the 14th to 20th Centuries can make you feel a bit smarter. Somehow, just by knowing that these books exist you feel like you’re one step closer to winning “Who Wants to be a Millionare.” In a way, it makes you feel that just by scrolling through the back covers of these books that your part of an intellectually driven community.
I love this imagery because I used to walk around the Wellsley library that vaguely reminds me of the basement of O’neil with my girlfriend and we would always sit in a corner on the ground to do homework and we would read the titles of the books too. I think that just reading book titles is one of the most interesting things you can do in a library.-Navide
The basement in Bapst reminds me of those forts. It has low ceilings that teeter on the edge of suffocating and comforting. Stout, square support beams ensure the structure of the building, and make it impossible to ever see from one wall to another. Thick wooden desks and tables, and shelves that go from the floor to the ceiling lined with heavy books give the whole place a sense of sturdiness and security. The thick green carpet that lines the floor looks all too tempting to lie down on. I feel like in the case of some natural disaster, I could survive down here.
I think this passage does a great job of connecting your childhood forts to the way you feel in the basement. The reference to the fact that you could survive a natural disaster down there could definitely be expanded upon and connect to your idea of isolation. In what other ways does this basement make you feel like you are in a bunker, removed and safe from the rest of the world? I think the expansion of this idea could be really cool.
“Enjoy the silence,” and believe me I do. I get a chill that runs down my spine and goosebumps cover my body. The sense is eerily relaxing and is unrivaled by any other feeling I’ve ever had before. The cool breeze is like a whisper across my skin.
I really like the description of Pricilla Road in this quote because it reminds me of my experiences on that street when I used to long board down it early in the fall mornings on my way to crew and I compley agree with the breeze hitting my face as well as the goose bumps I would get from trying to navigate potholes in the dark.-Navide
divine inspiration
This reminds me of how we studied "the sublime" in Dr. Burmester's 3050 class.
What’s striking about annotation at the present time is how ubiquitous it is—indeed it is so common that it is almost becoming invisible.
Reminds me of Liu's point about Web 2.0's dissemination of the author-function, or the way it dissolves the distinction between authors and readers (while keeping coders as a remarkably distinct/powerful/scarce function).

This is interesting and very real. How can educators break through tensions existing outside the classroom to help students feel comfortable and positive within the learning space? How do we turn a classroom into a community when the community these students live within, outside of school, is so vastly different? I think at this point, educators need to take on the role of role-models. In this, educators should not only be teaching, but also modeling behaviors appropriate for school. These behaviors should also coincide with a positive trajectory of life outside of school, to help students better problem solve in scenarios existing outside the domains of the classroom. This reminds me of the other reading, Engaging African American Males in Reading.
paste-like and batter-like poultry product”
Reminds me of hot dogs
For example, video game production became a mark-er of high status, and two types of experts emerged: some youth developed expertise in highly focused (local) aspects of game design, and others focused more on general (global) principles of game design.
This reminds me of our readings from last cycle that focuses on how kids play games differently, in particular the zoo tycoon example. One girl enjoyed the finer details (decor, layout), while the other focuses solely on profits. Applies to game design too I guess!
Which is another way of saying that we don’t wish to have too much to do with the twentieth century: “Let the dead bury their dead.”
This reminds me of the comment one audience member offered Jane Bennett: are the hoarders actually in touch with the reality of death and decomposition as opposed to their inherent ability to hear the living call of material things? It's a subtle difference that I don't accept just yet, but this idea of reassembly made the thought of the hoarder connect with Latour.
This shooting is the perfect storm of 2016 politics. It touches almost every political nerve– from abortion to gun rights to Congressional funding to terrorism– and reminds us just how divided the country really is. And if the early reactions are any indication, that’s not changing anytime soon.
It looks interesting to me and I strongly agree with what the author says.
the universality of architectural expression
reminds me of the potential for universal art or universal feelings--resonates deeply with an array of different people in a way that transcends barriers like language, geography, etc.
By incorporating a "lighted place to be comfortable," a room becomes more meaningful and dense than if it included either a "lighted place" or "place to rest" alone.
This line reminds me of the topic of how architect "instructs" that we discussed in class. Places with a light and flowy aesthetic eases the mind and instructs us to relax.
As Heidegger interprets dwelling, the built environment is crucial because it supports and reflects a person and group's way of being-in-the-world.
This reminds me of Yi-Fu Tuan's idea of architecture being instructive. According to him, architecture reminds people of their position in society. Heidegger discusses the importance of architecture because of this.
there are only 18 by authors of color, and few books reflect the lives of children of color and the poor.
This reminds me of a Ted Talk I watched called "A Single Story" which was presented by Chimamanda Ngozi. Ngozi explains that presenting a "single story"to students where the characters are white and wealthy is a disservice to all students. It is harmful to students of color and less wealth because they don't have any stories to relate to, and it is also harmful to students who are white and wealthy, because they are not being exposed to different cultures and ways of life.
If you want something faster, take a look at the 2 x 10 strategy, shared by Angela Watson, which has teachers spend two minutes a day for ten days casually chatting with underperforming students.
Reminds me of Love and Logic approach of just noticing things about struggling students.
In such a spirit on my part and on yours we face our common difficulties. They concern, thank God, only material things.
This directly reminds me of E. M. Forester's piece "My Wood". Forester stated life should solely be material and carnal. It seems that throughout a lot of the pieces we analyze there's a common theme regarding perspectives on life. Here, FDR uses diction to persuade the reader that a common fault of humans is that they only concern themselves with material things.
Our greatest primary task is to put people to work.
This reminds me of The Grapes Of Wrath. The Joads go all around central California and the Central Valley looking for work. That is the primary thing they are looking for: work. If they have work, then they have a means to provide for themselves and their family. Because of that, finding a way to be put to work is what they need the most.
I'm here to tell you that we have overlooked the most powerful and practical resource. Here it is: people who are poor.
Reminds me of 1984 and Winston's belief in the Proles.
And I don’t see a Pearson in the mix.
This reminds me of watching Dora the explorer with my daughter when she was young and how we would boo when Swiper the fox showed up. No matter how loudly we yelled, "Swiper, no swiping!" that fox fleeced Dora and confounded her plans every time.
Sticking with that crazy analogy, Dora's friends Backpack and Map are good guys who help her in her efforts. Can we see the good guys on #dlday? In my mind, when teachers have a voice and a platform to model innovative instruction, they can advocate for useful tools (Backpack) and promising practices (Map) that might inch teaching and learning forward. 
Sarah Koenig is the author of this podcast, and has a detective voice that reminds me of Agatha Christie books. It is very clear that in this episode, she focuses on the importance of a phone call and the inconsistencies of Jays stories. When you sit down to analyze everything that is happening you can immediately understand that the inconsistencies in Jays stories are not enough of a claim too put Adnan Syed in Jail, making us understand how unfair law is sometimes.

Perhaps eager to debunk the anti-Catholic elements of the Black Legend, the French worked to cultivate cooperation with Indians.
This kind of reminds me of how some Christians today are trying to let people know that not all of them are like the Westbro Baptist Churches and the like.
Yet scholarship has never been particularly open to the public. It operates, in increasingly-rationalized incarnations, as a carefully-managed ecosystem of gatekeeping measures: the prestige hierarchies of academic credentials and the academic publishing system comprise a powerful inside-baseball discourse. Contemporary scholars have tended to be far more accountable to the system itself than to actual publics,
This is a key shift in academia - it reminds me of Edward Said's work on the academic as public intellectual (and he was not talking about the internet) - the internet makes this an easier thing to do and to be. Not only in what we write, but in how we interact on a daily basis
“Processes like military interrogation and customer relations are cultural. We tend to think of them as flexible and porous, but they are crafted from a multitude of protracted, intersecting cultural processes.”
This also reminds me of the Vygotsky reading. People within a community have shared learnings of language and communication, just like these cultural norms for different cultures.
but (perhaps more important) procedural rhetoric also allows the volunteers themselves to move through and write back against and, in some cases, resist networked power.
This sort of reminds me of the Lipson reading where the lower class could write to the nobels to improve life for them and in turn everyone else. In this case volunteers had the power to go against the scripts, which helped cater to the audiences needs and wants. Not the same kind of power structure, but I found this interesting to note.
one that can be used to study “any medium—computational or not—that accomplishes its inscription via processes
This reminds me of our discussion on mediums from the Vygotsky reading - mediums really are important and what's better is that this sentence mentions computational mediums, which directly relates to the scope of the course (in particular, the fact that it deals with technology and the internet).
Bogost argues that processes can have complex relationships to ideologies and cultures: “Processes like military interrogation and customer relations are cultural. We tend to think of them as flexible and porous, but they are crafted from a multitude of protracted, intersecting cultural processes.”
This reminds me of what was mentioned in Rountree's piece about the social and cultural factors that play into the rhetorical situation and influences how rhetorical discourse effects people. Rountree's idea of relational meaning weighs into the cultural context and it dictates how we apply meaning to things in our surroundings.
These procedural arguments by no means solved the ethical predicaments of networks and power, but they did offer a novel mode of rhetorical action in such spaces.
This idea of delivery reminds me of Bitzer and the thought of constraints in rhetorical action. The idea that Obama's campaign has a broad platform and copious amounts of information to distribute leaves the problem of effectively using volunteer resources as well as making strides to present a positive campaign image.
These voter lists and “personal messages” are not generated by “computers” alone but rather by collaborations between humans and machines. The messages generated by such collaborations may in fact be artificially personal, but they are generated by software, which is authored by humans and which uses procedures to express ideas and arguments.
The discussion in Brown's paper about these computer generated "personal" messages, and the way they can be attributed to software, which was written by people, reminds me of Roundtree's concept of rhetorical agency. This example is somewhat analogous to the simulation anecdote Roundtree uses. It stands to reason that, since the programs that spit out these messages were ultimately written by people, those people -- along with the computers and software and all other participants, human or non-human -- share rhetorical agency in the "personalized" message that a potential voter would encounter. And it doesn't stop there. The people who share rhetorical agency in this event can also be those who contributed to developing the voter database that resulted in a potential voter receiving one of these personalized messages (which could include door-knockers, phone bank workers, and many others), as well as the designers of all respective technologies which made those things possible. There is essentially no end to the chain of people, places, and things that share rhetorical agency in any given situation, it seems.
Furthermore, the stated situation also seems to apply procedural rhetoric to a very broad and old concept like knowing one's audience, which was emphasized by Aristotle, Longinus, et al.
By tracking the arguments embedded in the Obama campaign’s software and its phone-banking scripts, we can gain a more complete picture of its complex, conflicting, and contradictory messages, and we can see how contemporary campaigns must continually engage the complexities of a hospitable network.
This reminds me a lot of Burke's remarks upon commercial rhetoric, attempting to carve out an audience, searching for the topics that will appeal to a specific group.
When we speak of dwelling we usually think of an activity that man performs alongside many other activities. We work here and dwell there. We do not merely dwell-that would be virtual inactivity-we practi~e a profession, we do business, we travel and find shelter on the way, now here, now there.
Reminds me of the allure of living in luxury apartments and taking work outside of the home, idea of compartmentalizing aspects of life, etc.
the relation of "building" to "dwelling" and the 1kind of "thinking" that results from attention to that relation.
this reminds me of Yi-Fu Tuan's idea that building a living space and living in it require people to constantly think and be aware of what is going on
Man acts as though he were the shaper and master of language, while in fact language remains the master of man. Perhaps it is before all else man's sub-version of this relation of dominance that drives his essential being into alienation.
This section reminds me of something I learned in my psych course the previous semester. When a child is born, they are able to make all the sounds of all the languages, and later drop sounds that they don't hear in the languages their parents or guardians speak. They later learn to say words, then sentences. Language, in this way, is very similar to architecture. People build in certain styles and architecture varies from place to place, just like languages and dialects.
Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.
This reminds me of how presidential candidates and presidents always say "God bless, America!" at the end of their speeches. We talk about separation of Church and State, but religion is still really important to us as a nation and politicians recognize that.
(Already if you want to post anything to a social network, you have to do it early morning or late night, when most people are using the app.)
Reminds me of Instagram "primetime"
To take an extreme case,
Tolstoy’s War and Peace requires 45 cassettes when spoken by Walter
Zimmerman (1982) or 50 compact discs when told by Neville Jason
(2006). These cumbersome formats showed little improvement over
Edison’s wax cylinders in terms of convenience – it may be easier to
bring back the live orator in such cases than to swap discs that many
times.
This reminds me of listening to the unabridged version of Tolkein's The Hobbit in the back of the family station wagon in the early 80s! It was an awful lot of cassettes...
n my view, it won't do to say, as Sontag repeatedly does throughout her writings on photography, that the photograph cannot by itself provide an interpretation, that we need captions and written analysis to supplement the discrete and punctual image,
This reminds me of a theory we learned in COM 101, that images can carry some meaning with them, but not all. Meaning is also created by the viewer. (I think this would apply even if there is a caption.)
Stuart is an exception to the social norms that view disabled bodies as unattractive, and she gets to be that exception only by conforming to specific body norms.
This reminds me of Lane's article. The work of women is always tied back to their bodies. The gaze is shifted here from Stuart, a woman following her dreams, to how women should occupy space.
Instead of seeing each moment as it is, we react to each moment from our past pain and frustration; then we react to the pain and frustration; then we react to that reaction; and so on and on. In this way a special form of mental torment is created that consists of seemingly endless layers of pain, negative emotion, self-doubt and self-justification--known in Buddhism as "samsara," the illusory world we think of as real. It is what, in honest moments, many people might call "normality."
Reminds me of DFW's "This is Water" commencement speech.
whole continuum
Reminds me of the benefits we see in the public/private school system when teachers allow student from different grades to come together to work on projects. Everyone benefits.
German and Russian Jewish Enlightenment (Haskalah) move-ments of the 18th and 19th centuries whose creed could be summed up as “be aJew at home and a man abroad.”
This reminds me of Kant's public and private use of reason in "What is Enlightenment" "By "public use of one's reason" I mean that use which a man, as scholar, makes of it before the reading public. I call "private use" that use which a man makes of his reason in a civic post that has been entrusted to him." http://www.columbia.edu/acis/ets/CCREAD/etscc/kant.html
Similarly, blog and social-network platforms can be used to engage with literary works. For instance, one team of students in the 2008 version of my Literature+ course used the LiveJournal blogging platform to create profile pages for the characters in the General Prologue to The Canterbury Tales. They themed each profile page with images and language they thought appropriate to the character and then wrote comments “in character” on other characters’ pages or on a shared community page (e.g., the Miller commenting rudely on the Knight’s or Wife of Bath’s pages, much as Chaucer’s original Miller was wont to do).
This reminds me of Mallory Ortberg's Texts from Jane Eyre (2014) and various Twitter accounts of long-deceased authors.
It was only the poor who worked hard.
this reminds me of "only poor men go to war"
twice as high.
reminds me of alcohol consumption. I learned a similar idea in a health class.
Stephen Malkmus
Love the mashup of old and new world sources in these epigraphs. Reminds me of Du Bois's The Souls of Black Folk:
Pavement did always seem like old souls to me, like ancient philosophers born too late.
But you can't have it now so you need it.
This is VERY powerful to me. It reminds me of this show I watch where a guy and girl get married, but the girl's sister comes into play AFTER the marriage and wants the husband. You only want it when you can't have it. If you can have it, it's too convenient.
Ah, you don’t believe We’re on the eve of destruction
Many tend to become resentful or disengaged from their surroundings when there change occurs, in this case the change was the spark of violence between South Korea and North Korea. The tension between NK and SK lead to the involvement of the US, and forced many to go to war. This line is quite eerie, and reminds me of a line from a Gotye song which reads 'we walk the plank with our eyes wide open', both writers are basically saying that many are denying/ignoring that the consequences to actions can be severe.
Magna Utah, A quaint, little town on the west side of the Salt Lake valley. It is also where I call home. A major problem in Magna is the tap water. It tastes a little suspicious. It is unlike any filtered water you will ever taste. Its so odd it actually has a smell. The taste is almost sour if you will. It does take some getting used to if you are going to drink that water. Some say the water is causing cancer and liver problems. Others say it is all the minerals that give it a particular taste and it is better for you. It is all a big conspiracy to me.
your post reminds me of people who don’t have clean water and drink dirty water. when you say it has a smell, and a funny taste do it. you say it has a sour taste to it also.
This reminds me of a speaker I heard when I was in Israel last winter. He was a Palestinian fighter and he basically put out the question/argument: "What do you expect a regular person to do when they have the boots of the Israelis on their necks?"
Just think of the mothers who painstakingly embroidered the words ENTER SMILING on little samplers, and then hung their handiwork on doors by golden chains. Translation: "Your real emotions aren't welcome here."
this reminds me of first ladies. they are expected to stand by their husband's side and smile and not speak about any thoughts in their pretty little head
where the wind never huffs or puffs but simply blows your house down
I couldn't help but laugh at this phrase...it reminds me of the story "The Three Little Pigs."
It’s akin to using the word “lion” for all lions, female and male; not strange at all. It makes sense and there’s no need to worry about political correctness or leaving people out. We can just omit extraneous “Mizz” and “Sirs” and whatnot. In the eyes of the law and the universe, we are “men”. This is not practical at the doctor when getting a physical and other biological exams per se, but it works for most things.
I understand Neko's point in here. It reminds me of an article I once read about Sweden using the word "buddies" instead of boys and girls
"media archaeology"
This department stems in film history. It examines and explains new technology and media by looking at old media. This reminds me of the Music of Film class at Wheaton: You can't examine old film music without understanding some history about the old films and the processes of film making. Read more here: http://www.history.ac.uk/reviews/review/1343
prewriting on their consumer identity
Ugh! This reminds me of the formulaic writing that I hate.
“endless, mesmerizing buzz”
This reminds me of Read E. M. Forster's “The Machine Stops.” (full text online) http://archive.ncsa.illinois.edu/prajlich/forster.html

This paragraph reminds me of the movie Annie; Annie received no luxuries, gifts, or love at the orphanage, and when the time came for her to visit Oliver Warbucks, she could enjoy all of the desires of her heart.
I began to move, and she began to follow me with what seemed like total faith, scampering after me as I made my way down the stairs, at my heels as I traveled towards the kitchen.
I love the way she describes the behavior of her raccoon. Despite the fact that the raccoon barely knows her, she follows her owner with complete faith and obedience. This reminds me of when my dog Riley would always follow me around the house.
So ended the great flood.
This story reminds me of something similar (to an extent) Noah's Arc.
So ended the great flood.
This flood reminds me of the great flood of the Bible when God looked and found no good in anyone except for Noah and his family
How does this creation story differ from the others you have read this week? Might the presence of multiple Gods change the structure of a society which flows from this story? How does the behavior of the Gods in this story differ from other creation stories? What might this mean?
This story differs from the other orgin stories because there are multiple gods that rule different things, the one god who wants to create the land takes months to create certain lands and others like him. The beings were going to be created like himself until he got drunk and made mistakes. There is also a great flood because another god wanted to destroy all that was created. The other gods in this story allows for different outlooks on what's created and more opposition that when there is only one god creating life. In this story, most of the gods have little to do with the creations save providing what is needed and visiting the earth once it was finished. Olokun wanted to destroy what was created because she was not consulted on what was created in her domain and she created a flood. I think this means that there will always be a struggle of power when there are multiple beings in charge and have the power to create and destory. It reminds me of humans and how they are when they have power or domain over something: some want to create, some want to destroy, others are there just to watch.
With this remark he gave the young woman who lay there ill a shove with his foot, causing her to fall into the hole that had been dug.
This story reminds so much of this other creation story from the Iroquois that I read in the 11th grade. It was about a left handed twin and a right handed twin. It has similar aspects like falling from the sky, a turtle and there being twins. It was altered a lot though. The twins were given names and there is much more detail in this version. The world in which the woman came from was given the name of SkyWorld in one I read on high school.
http://www.crystalinks.com/iroquoiscreation.html
It makes me think since they are so similar maybe the story was passed around the Iroquois tribes and things were added or taken out or each tribe had their own twist on the story just like any other story that is passed around.
adopted Greek, Roman, and Muslim knowledge
culture seemed to be adopted and diverse, reminds me of all greek myths and philosophers
Leif Erikson
I might be thinking really out of the box, but this reminds me of spongebob. happy leif erikson day.
Hypothes.is reminds me a lot of some of the primary goals of the MeAggregator JISC project, as well as having a lot in common with other annotation tools (obviously!). The implementation appears smooth and reliable, and having just revisited it (thanks to a Facebook post by a friend of a friend), I wish I had been using it for a while now. I suspect it will be finding its way in to my teaching practice very soon.<br> This page on their site "Back to School with Annotation: 10 Ways to Annotate with Students" has some useful suggestions. I particularly need to check out the private groups and sharing options, and investigate the possibility of collating annotations (potentially producing new documents from a set of annotations).
one deeply “tangled up” with other cultural practices.
This reminds me of Jane McGonagal's book regarding gaming. How she created a cemetery poker game to bring more interest into the history of an area.
a game has to communicate successfully to its players how to play, orit will, in some sense, fail to exist full
This point is intriguing to me as it suggests a marker for when a game might need to be abandoned or revisited as a learning tool (if the learners don't understand the play structure). But I think this is often also a transformative point - how often do players then just make their own rules and forge ahead? This reminds me of Susannah's comment in the Games, gods and grades article; transformative points may be useful in that they can allow the learner/players to be more in charge of the game/problem. However, there is a lot to consider in how/why/when this may or may not work!
The concept ofgamingas it is used in the following pages goes beyond games, in the same waythatlearninggoes beyond the configuration of a classroom
Salen's mention of a classroom configuration reminds me that there's a persistent tension associated with game operating as both a noun and a verb. Same with school. I address some challenges and productive conflict associated with this thing/action duality in my conclusion to the book Teacher Pioneers (which we'll read during Cycle 5).
“You’re some kind of feminist, aren’t you?” His tone made it clear that to be a feminist was undesirable. I was not being a good woman. I remained silent, stewing. I thought, “Isn’t it obvious I am a feminist, albeit not a very good one?”
This reminds me of my Disney history project I did last year, one of the con's of Disney were the Disney princesses stories. Each story has a quiet younger, obedient girl who happens to fall in love with a powerful man(exception in Aladdin).
Thus
This all reminds me of an interview I watched with the whistleblower Brandon Bryant who served in as an Air Force drone operator, helping to shower death from above to unsuspecting men, women and children across the Middle East.
As Gout in Age, from Pox in Youth proceeds; So Wenching past, then jealousy succeeds: The worst disease that Love and Wenching breeds.
reminds me of the couplets at the end of shakespeare acts
it may be easier to create one from scratchwhen to find the one already stored
This reminds me of all the random documents people have stored on their computers and such. Sometimes my computer gives me a notification that I have used 90% of my storage and need to delete some items. Do we think they will eventually be able to create some type of computer with unlimited storage?
what it is that the West must do to remainstrong and keep it's opponents weak and divided.
It amazes me that these kinds of sentiments still exist in the modern world. This guy seems to have some superiority complex and reminds me a bit of Hitler in the sense that the West's civilization and ideologies are the best and in order to protect that power we must suppress anyone different who might threaten that
This city reminds me a lot of the city within the film the Thief and the Cobler. I know it's not an accurate description over however the "stairways" and "arcade curves" instantly made me think of this film.
Beyond six rivers and three mountain ranges risesZora, a city that no one, having seen it, can forget.Yi, no, because, like other memorable cities, itleaves an unusual image in your recollections, Zorahas the quality of remaining in your memory pointby point, in its succession of streets, of houses alongthe streets, and of doors and windows in the houses,though nothing in them possesses a special beauty ornrity
This seems like the quintessential view of media. It reminds me of trying to share a good song with someone. The beauty you see in the piece is different to that seen by other people. The song never seems as good when you try to show it off.

This reminds me of the time my family went to Newark, IL to judge the floats for the 4th of July parade. It was very humid and a large quantity of corn as described in this section.

I've read many posts about teachers who have taught English in a different country only to return home and experience culture shock. I've read them all a while ago, but this is the one I remembered the most. I think this novel reminds me of this article because Khan is a stranger to his place like how the author in the blog has almost become a stranger to his homeland.
A businessman once advised me never to admit my business was struggling.
This reminds me of the story Mari told about a well-respected farmer who gave a presentation about how to be successful--leaving out that he was losing money. If farmers aren't open about their struggles, how can we ever hope to improve their conditions? This may be part of why many people don't realize that farming is often not profitable. The nostalgic image of a farmer is stuck in their minds, with no one correcting it. I also wonder what a consultant for the Farm Viability Project would say about this advice. Do they want their clients to be open?
So he shook violently the various animals – the bears, deer, and turkeys – causing them to become small at once, a characteristic which attached itself to their descendants.
Reminds me of the huge megafauna that went extinct following the Ice Age. Perhaps this story was inspired by their extinction in lieu of the smaller animals who followed them?
instruction should be geared toward making sense in a life outside of school
This bit really reminds me about how writing has changed. I would argue that it is more pervasive due to technology advances.
instruction matters
Practice/ time for writing + instruction are both important. This reminds me of what I said in class today: students should be learning the basics and then given space to practice those skills.
All teaching — with or without machines — was viewed by Skinner as reliant on a “contingency of reinforcement.”
This reminds me of the Story of Crossy Road. The video game industry pushes designers to create games that engage players in reinforcement loops of clicking, blinging and granular achievement feedback. Computer programs are very good at structuring behaviorist loops.
Remember that your Being is unfolding Itself in Its Totality, and therefore the events going on “out there,” three-dimensionally, are all part of this Totality. You cannot get out of sync. You have not taken any time out from anything, not now nor during the past four weeks.
This reminds me of Almaas's work in Facets of Unity re the Holy Ideas. Holy Truth is that we are an aspect of the totality of all that is. There is no outside therefore even if we perceive there is this itself is still taking place within the Totality ....
Assume nothing—just as you asked me whether it was appropriate to keep Michael’s appointment, even though your conditioning said, “Of course, it is appropriate. The time was set. I have to be there. I should be there. It is appropriate for me to be there.” Well, you didn’t Know whether it was appropriate for you to be there. It was a concept that you ought to be there, and that concept was based upon education and training which embodied certain protocols. There are no protocols in Being. There is, however, the integrated orderliness of being absolutely appropriate, and that means being unquestioningly congruent with the Movement of God. That means that you may or may not do what you said you were going to do, because your allegiance is to congruence rather than cooperation.
Assume nothing!
To choose Reality, Being, I need to check in and ask my Beingness instead of making assumptions about anything is in the mind. Reminds me of "I do not know what a single thing is or is for".
You wordlessly initiated this evening’s conversation with a confusion about what truly constituted the issue that needed to be addressed, and whether the money issue was any more real than the world issue. That confusion is indicative of the shift that is currently, actively, and really occurring within you, of Awakening. And I have been, and am, addressing the issue, and am telling you that your practice of checking in with me frequently during the last twenty-four hours has constituted the most significant forward movement you have engaged in, and is not irrelevant to the apparent issues at hand, but constitutes the specific answer to the issues at hand.
Raj reminds Paul that the answers are in his Beingness.
La vie inactive
Reminds me of St. John of the Cross' "via negativa", describing something but describing what it isn't. Learning is divided between school and 'the real world'.
People rightly tend to be mean to those they are sure are assholes, so continued interaction between them will probably only serve to reinforce their beliefs the other is acting in bad faith.
This reminds me of the situation of a parrot in front of a mirror. Will he fall in love with the other, or will he start hating him, ignoring the fact that he is only seeing his reflection? Once he starts acting on one of the affections, positive feedback kicks in.
Whenever he was accused of being too friendly to black people, Folsom shrugged.
This reminds me of Atticus because, many people in Maycomb accused him of getting really close with Calpurnia and the rest of the "black people" too. Just like Folsom, Atticus just let it go.
If on the contrary, the introduction of new technologies does not result in the expansive transformation of the internal structure of the teaching activity but rather in the rejection of the new element, the activity has not been disrupted in the previous sense. It has merely been momentarily disturbed or interrupted (see the first definition of disruption from the Oxford English Dictionary recalled earlier): teaching practices remain unchanged.
I completely agree. This reminds me of the "media debate" by Richard Clark and Robert Kozma in the early 90's. Is it the media (or technology) or the pedagogy that changes learning outcomes? I think that new technology can enable new pedagogies, but the technology itself does not change learning outcomes on its own. http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/The_media_debate
Technology is altering (rewiring) our brains. The tools we use define and shape our thinking.
This reminds me about our reading where they talked about how some people have a fake sense of memory because they can just google anything they need to know at a moments notice. Google has started to show its effect on how people think.
Vaill emphasizes that “learning must be a way of being – an ongoing set of attitudes and actions by individuals and groups that they employ to try to keep abreast o the surprising, novel, messy, obtrusive, recurring events…” (1996, p.42).
This quote interest me because it reminds me of the phrase "you learn something new everyday" which we actually happens and when we keep an open mind to the world with the right attitude I believe we could absorb even more information.
The artificial wants of mankind thus become more numerous than the natural
This reminds me of today's society most people are caught up with wanting to flaunt all their money they often forget friends family and loved ones
many have been ruined by buying good pennyworths
This reminds me of a book I recent read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing by Marie Kondo in which she states the importance of catching yourself from buying just to buy and to only buy things of necessity or that "spark joy". I think Franklin was ahead of his time by stating this, and the issues of materialism and capitalism are plaguing our society today. I have a hard time imagining what sorts of knickknacks or items he is referring to, but i find it humorous that even in the 18th century people were potentially hoarding, buying beyond their means, or simply buying just to buy.
heinstitutionalgoalotscienceistheextensionofcertifiedknowledge
This quote reminds me of times when governments push initiatives in their countries for increased scientific research in order to increase the countries' knowledge so that it can implement change. Obama's State of the Union address last night addressed several science topics which he wants to the US to invest in (cancer research, space travel) in order to deepen the countries' knowledge.

This reminds me of Walt Whitman's "I Hear America Singing"
I'd like to get away from earth awhile And then come back to it and begin over.
This reminds me of reincarnation.
Nor do I want us to move away from a world of wonder to a world of technocracy, to simply reduce what we do and what we make to terms like “user generated content” or “personal data” or “code." How cold and empty these sound. Love letters reduced to a status update, love songs, their associated metadata. Human communication as a transaction, not an expression.
This reminds me of Aldous Huxley's A Brave New World.
When I am tired of being human
Reminds me, somehow, of that moment in Frost's "I'd like to get away from earth for a while" in Birches, how she shifts from the physical reality to her meditation.
one
This reminds me of diigo. I used that application to share annoted web pages with others in my work on occasion. I wonder how this is different.
Therefore, those in your experience who are attempting to “help” you see that what is unfolding here in your experience is the Christ-consciousness revealing Itself, are correct to that degree. However, they are incorrect in attempting to “help” you see that an individuality by the name of Raj is an illusory part of this experience. Their view is still so limited—in spite of the grandness and infinity of the view they see currently, as opposed to what they saw originally—that you would be foolish to use their vantage point as your own.
This reminds me of Rod's assertion that channeled beings are just the channels higher self.

Breuers Wassily chair and Le Corbusiers furniture, is an early civilized and almost forgivable sentimentalizing of the machine
Reminds me of my "forgivable" romantic appreciation of the aesthetic of the early web.
Teenagers need opportunities to learn how to interact in a healthy way in public and with strangers. They need to learn to take measured risks and face the consequences of their decisions.
I wonder if school environments are the place for this or not? Of course, as a teacher, I say, yes. But the reality is that school-based learning are not always authentic places for young people to explore, make mistakes, do inappropriate things (and learn from them) and more. It reminds me of my eternal questions about my video game design unit: have I sucked the fun out of video games by making it a learning experience?
Prejudice is mantle is body
fascinating and problematic equation, because it means that the black body is being rejected as burdensome, in favor of the supposedly more pure spirit. Reminds me of Blake's Little Black Boy, where the innocent speaker internalizes white society's condemnation of the black body.
what kind of reading experience and engagement do texts like these, in their already-annotated state, engender? On the other, what kind of a reading practice does this process of annotation model and make evident?
Great questions! Reminds me of first studying Shakespeare in high school. It was the first time I'd really had to toggle between a text and notes. What I remember is that some editions did this better than others, but that I wouldn't have been able to read Shakespeare unannotated. Now that's a particular use case--a basically foreign text (in time) for which some translation was needed.
Some teachers that I've approached about using web annotation in the classroom have been resistant for precisely the reason alluded to here: they want students to experience the text for themselves, grapple with it without a safety net (or the distraction of peer commentary).
Since ducks can both swim and fly, each duck is found twice inC, once labeled as aflyer and once labeled as a swimmer. The typesAandBare kept disjoint inC, whichjustifies the name “disjoint union.”
The disjoint union reminds me of algebraic datatypes in functional programming languages, whereas a set-theoretic union is more like a union in CS: the union has no label associated with it, so additional computation (or errors) may arise due to a lack of ready information about elements in the union.
The time shows 04:55, military time. I am sitting in the airplane totally exhausted and had not slept a single second during the night. I decide to check the notifications on my phone one last time right before take-off. The tears that had streamed down my face for the past few hours have given me a headache and made me feel ill. I see a message from my sister, which makes me break into tears once again. She tells me how much she loves me and reminds me what a wonderful time I will have living my dream. I try to hide my red eyes and tears from the woman beside me while reading the message. The one thing I do not want to do right now is start explaining why I am sad, although I feel like a shoulder to lean against is probably what I need right now. I had already cried enough these last few days. I send one last message on Swedish soil for now before I turn my phone to airplane mode while the captain speeds up the airplane for take-off. I realize as I look down at the beautiful white clouds from the sky how much my family means to me and how much I have taken them for granted during my time at home. This family culture is something I started to appreciate only when I was leaving them.
My beginning of the essay was under a lot of revision and rewriting because I wanted to go away from the traditional way to write a story. I decided instead to start in the middle of the climax and then shift back to the beginning and take the writer through it in a chronological order up to where I started the essay. The was something that took a lot of time to think about, my revising and rewrite helped me significantly through really thinking about how I should structure this passage.
There was no shock of wood, no beam of light mahogany his saw teeth couldn’t handle. When shaping squares for locks, a key hole care tapped rat tat tat upon the handle
This line reminds me of The Nutcarcker. It was a book I read when I was younger.
a man troubled by a son gone missing in the head, drag racing his only car at night
the father being poor and the son going out in the middle of the night drag racing...kind of reminds me of the too fast too furious... the movie lol
Grateful for their tour of the pharmacy, the first-grade class has drawn these pictures, each self-portrait taped to the window-glass, faces wide to the street, round and available, with parallel lines for hair.
The beginning of the poem is very casual, and reminds me of a story. It sets a different tone than expected.

I like how the poet is using a book as a symbol in the poem. It reminds me of what we talked about in class of how all poetry represents poetry.
A cyborg is a hybrid creature, composed of organism and machine.
This reminds me of the movie Repo Men, when people are sick or injured and need transplants to survive they lose natural body parts and gain mechanical ones. Thus, characters in this movie are hybrid creatures.
where we wake up electrified out of the coma
this reminds me of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" at the end where Murphy either receives a lobotomy or electroshock therapy and has been transformed from his once vibrant self to an asylum zombie. I think a lot of people that Ginsberg is attacking in this poem would like to lobotomize or tame those that are different from them (like the angelheaded hipsters)
last furnished room emptied down to the last piece of mental furniture, a yellow paper rose twisted on a wire hanger on the closet, and even that imaginary, nothing but a hopeful little bit of hallucination
This reminds me of something Dumbledore tells Harry Potter in The Deathly Hallows, “Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?”
Which concludes the point that mental representations can be more powerful than physical representations of events. That these roman candles are more justified in their hallucinations than of the "sane public"
Real holy laughter in the river! They saw it all! the wild eyes! the holy yells! They bade farewell! They jumped off the roof! to solitude! waving! carrying flowers! Down to the river! into the street!
This kind of suicide reminds me of the Sestina poem where the Sestina is thrown off the overpass. However, instead of an industrial setting, the speaker references the river, which has biblical allusions like Huhes' "The Negro Speaks of Rivers."
and who were given instead the concrete void of insulin Metrazol electricity hydrotherapy psychotherapy occupational therapy pingpong & amnesia
it seems like Ginsberg is painting a picture of those who do without certain healing care/medicinal drugs. This reminds me of William Carlos Williams' inclusion of "goldenrod," "chokecherry," and "viburum," also healing herbs into his poem. "Ping pong" and "amnesia" seem to be contrasting inclusions.
looking for an angry fix
This reminds me of the dancing that would take place at popular jazz clubs: losing oneself to music of the blues (Ma Rainey) or jazz (Duke Ellington); it's about looking for an escape from reality/thought--having an experience (sublime, raw)
who reappeared on the West Coast
With each stanza, you get a sense of a people emptily wandering from place to place, in vain search of fulfillment or even just pleasure. It reminds me of Helga, in Nella Larsen's novel, who seeks spiritual satisfaction all over America (and in Denmark), failing to understand or acknowledge the root of her discontent.
who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up smoking in the supernatural darkness of cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities contemplating jazz,
Flats, poverty, and jazz -- this reminds me of my research on Chicago's ghetto neighborhoods starting from the 1920s to even now, and how low/working families, in poverty, would resort to music (specifically jazz) as a way of coping with the poverty they live in. I believe that Ginsberg is troubled by the amount of hurt they see around him, and like jazz does to people, writing is a sort of way of coping. His generation is slowly going mad, and he can do nothing but write about it.
looking for an angry fix
This reminds me of the novel and film "Requiem for a Dream." Great minds and ideas are destroyed due to the need for drugs
ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night,
This quote reminds me of Henry Adams' work "The Dynamo and the Virgin." The words "heavenly" makes me think of the idea of learning from the teachings of the Church in "The Dynamo and the Virgin." On the other hand, the word "dynamo" and "machinery" makes me think of the idea of learning from the technological teachings that were talked about in "The Dynamo and the Virgin."
the most honest and upright town in all the region round about
reminds me of Harvey Dent's quote "you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become a villain.
who set his bread afloat upon the waters
Completely unrelated, but this sentence reminds me of feeding ducks in a pond
starts the fire which will lead all of the lost Indians home.
This reminds me of The Road, because the child within that book was carrying the fire just like the salmon seems to be doing. Civilization is lost, as is told to us during the salmon's journey upstream, which is another similarity. Is this fish the hope for humanity like the child had been? The poem does say that "the fire will lead all of the lost Indians home."
“growing a personal learning network.
Reminds me of what Prof. said about how he met other educators and tech people online.
In many ways, forms of media participation have become so mundane and everyday that they do not “count”
Can't remember the exact quote but it reminds me here that only when a tool becomes ordinary does it become useful
deliberately misreading a text, for example, reading a poem backwards line-by-line.
reminds me of queering
not to go back to the original text with a revitalized perspective, but to make an entirely new text or artifact.
reminds me of that old game madlibs
s he measures his plank or beam
This reminds me of . . .
Now I have no idea who that man was, but I want him found, and I want him to have this money, to give away, throw away, or keep, as he pleases.
This reminds me of Les Miserables.
that it was easy for me to see how righteous it was with God to cut off the thread of my life and cast me out of His presence forever.
Even when you are suffering and dying you must take time to pray. This passage reminds me of Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, God can "cutt off the thread of my life" just as he can drop you into the flames of Hell.
But a new system, “piece work,” divided much of production into discrete steps performed by different workers. In this new system, merchants or investors sent or “put-out” materials to individuals and families to complete at home. These independent laborers then turned over the partially finished goods to the owner to be given to another laborer to finish.
This system reminds me of the assembly line. It's almost similar.
Users had made them out of different materials to keep from hitting other buttons on the screen, but these materials were often not very sturdy (e.g., paper, cardboard).
This adaptation reminds me of Jackson's work no repair.
Agonies are one of my changes of garments, I do not ask the wounded person how he feels, I myself become the wounded person, My hurts turn livid upon me as I lean on a cane and observe.
Sort of reminds me of Rev. Hooper, taking on the sins of the town, Whitman doesn't ask how the injured person feels, because that emphasizes the disconnect between the two of them, but he becomes the injured person, and is able to wear their pain like someone wears clothes.
