Most recent update: January 18, 2004 at 11:15 p.m. Atlantic Time (GMT-4) Search Edu_RSS: Five hundred posts This is the 500th posting written for this weblog, starting with the enthusiastic and naive opening entry on March 7, 2003. I'm guessing, based on little evidence, that the posts average 250 words, which would add up to 125, 000 words if it were more than a guess. Since March I've come to enjoy daily writing in a way I don't think I've ever experienced before.
