A friend of mine happens to be a very good graphic artist, and also pretty funny, too. So when he gets funny ideas, unlike the rest of us, who either write them down and wish we could do something with them or just forget about them, he makes comics. Inspired by others, such as xkcd and more, he creates them in his own personal style.
I thought they were funny, and decided to share them with you. What do you think?
Hopefully I’ll be able to post them fairly regularly. Hope you like it! Comment if you have any ideas, I’m sure he’d be delighted to illustrate them if they’re funny enough.

I’m amazingly tired - mowing two acres of lawn (with lots of fun terrain!) seems to do that - but also amazingly satisfied. After sushi and a bagel (a repast to thrive on), here it comes
Tip III:
Use your resources.
This may seem a bit simple, but it’s definitely true. No matter the actual type of resource - be it friends, books, teachers, maybe even (gasp!) parents - they will give you information. This is evident for me in that when I don’t write down my homework, I have nowhere to go: my parents haven’t the faintest, my friends aren’t in the same class, and emailing teachers takes time. Luckily for me, I have another resource - Facebook. A glance at a schoolmate’s page reveals an AIM screenname.
One fairly new resource we now have is technology. I use either Hiveminder or RTM for my organizational needs, mainly homework (reviews pending). I can IM a friend, check the homework page, or email a teacher now - instead of waiting helplessly like I used to.
I’m glad to be finishing this post. Not only was it hard to write, but it’s also my first post here on r.ompo.us. It’s sentimental… With stress on the “mental” part. In other news, a quick question to readers: What theme should I use for my blog? The basic K2 is getting boring. As stated above, reviews on to do listing programs pending.

Now, I haven’t the faintest what’s going on here - but I do know that as an educatee (if that’s a word) I have having a lot of fun speaking to educators all over the world waiting for the keynote of K12 online to load. Some people in the live chat are already posting comments and quotes from David Warlick’s speech. Excuse this for being a very short post, but I’m going to go chat with educators all over the world, from Bangkok to Starbucks in New York - about how they can make my school career better for me and my teachers - before I watch this video (download already!).
And P.S. - Remember when I mentioned that Arthus had given me r.ompo.us? I’ll be switching over there very soon - no matter what it looks like. Just don’t go there now, it’s got posts that are starting to reek they’re so old (they still taste good though!).
