Guides: July 3rd, 2008I haven’t posted content in forever since I’m busy switching careers from the information technology sector to education. Oh who am I kidding… the reason I didn’t post is I got lazy. Actually, I’m posting now because I’m busy. I’m in Los Angeles Unified School District’s (LAUSD) District Internship program so I can get a teaching credential. Meanwhile, I have to find my own teaching job, which means– yep… I’m back in the jobhunting game.
With new adventures come new experiences, which means I learn more. And, since this site is about things I learn, that means more content! Woohoo! However, comics are still on hold because of laziness. :oP :o) Sorry!
I’m trying to find a job teaching either physics or computers at one of LAUSD’s high schools or middle schools. My first step is to find schools I’m interested in teaching at, then distribute my resumes to them. If you’re also doing the jobhunt thing, you may find some of the tips below helpful, even though you’re not applying for a teaching job in LAUSD.

Guides: March 16th, 2008There are several do-it-yourself earbud cord wraps out there. Some are nice, some are… resourceful. I’ve seen some made of foam (from old flip-flops maybe) or credit cards, but I have yet to see one as cheap (or at least readily available) as my very own. I misplace my earbud cord wraps all the time, so it’s great to have ones that are compact, easily replaceable, quick to make, and easily disposable. Oh, and functional. heh.

Guides: February 18th, 2008 A big part of college life is flyering. Most likely you are bombarded by students handing you flyers on the way to class, or one day you will be the one trying to force flyers into another student’s hands. If that day should come, here are some tips to prepare yourself.

Guides: January 27th, 2008UCLA email can suck sometimes because of the crappy web interface and the relatively low 75MB storage limit. Wouldn’t it be nice to have the features and storage capacity of Gmail applied to your UCLA email?

Guides: March 25th, 2007Do you use the same password for multiple sites? Is your password a name or a word that can be found in the dictionary? Maybe you’ve thought, “I don’t care who accesses this account… I have nothing important on here,” so…
