I am working on my course syllabus for my conservation genetics course today. I have a deadline Thursday that I must meet. But before I start, I wanted to share this graphic with you. This graphic explains how your computer works in one easy to understand "Where's Waldo" type picture. Presumably, there is sound with this too (I checked; it's a wav file), but I can't hear it on my computer.
Update: the graphic-plus-sound version for all non-IE browsers can be accessed here (it's rather loud, so be ready to turn the volume down a little).
Thanks, Dawn!

There is a comment-on-the-piece by Anthony Fejes which I think is less good: too much like the kind of people who put you off cycling by insisting you have to wear a cycle helmet or walk. And you should read Nick's…
I should have finished designing the new version of my disasters class. I've been thinking about it forever. But then I was trying to get a paper written, and then I went to a conference, and then there were senior thesis presentations and end-of-semester grading and a six-year-old's birthday, and…
That resembles my computer's speed when multitasking. (No sound, by the way.)
There was the old 'comparison' of Jesus and Windows: "Jesus worked multiple miracles; it's a miracle if Windows multitasking works."
It's not quite that bad, but some programs eat more memory than they should.
They are using a propietary HTML tag that works for IE only, (<bgsound>) so you won't get any sound on a decent browser. If you want to hear the sound, you can go to this link:
