Slowing down and studying white papers has been so, so, so essential to my climb up the learning curve. The current state of the SMT whitepaper on my iPad (app pictured is LiquidText), lol:
I've been on a study binge this week, which has cut into my writing time. I really do think it's that important, and I'm glad to see somebody else geeking out. Per our discussoin the other day, beneath my long-ass treatise of a post, I'm glad to report: my latest post actually met my (actually reasonable) word goal!
You are so cerebral dude! Cool! I’m sure you’ll understand this stuff much better 5wncme in the end. I just read things 3 or 4 times and never take notes haha, I scold my students for doing this too haha
I should try that app sometime, looks fun
I’ll check your post in a sec!
Cerebral, obsessive, crazay: I’ll take any of those :)
and I guess I missed the fact that you teach. cool! it makes sense now that I know it, b/c your writing is super pedagogical and not overbearingly so. what do you teach?
I teach languages....which is embarrassing cause I had to check pedagogical in the dictionary. I’m good at teaching people HOW to self study languages. I teach language as an art, not as a science. You learn faster when you learn it as both, but in school we treat almost everything like a science so I try to provide balance.
You are an academic, so if you are obsessive or crazy, it just comes with the territory. I’m sorry I can’t always keep up with the language in your writing. We need some people like you in the mix though, and when I have time I try to take the time with it. You add a lot to this community!
