final, finalization, finality, finance...

This is it!  My final post (*sniff*)!  I've organized this approximately according to the expected learning outcomes, which I have given as headings.  Not everything fits perfectly beneath its heading, and sometimes if a post matches two heading I only link to it once, but I think it will be close enough for jazz, as they say.

A few examples of a few different kinds of free.  Related to the business chapter of the ebook, but I wasn't able to transition into these examples smoothly.

Jell-O--have you ever looked at how Jell-O is made?  Where gelatin actually comes from?  It's quite gross.

Invitations and invitees

And here's my own little foray into the adventure of inviting people.

Authors, Authority and Authenticity (but mostly the first two)

This is a short reflective post about this class, and not my final reflective post.  I've been working on this for a few weeks and just realized I never posted it.

One thing that has bothered me for a long time about schools and education is the way that we are encouraged to think for ourselves, and then denied the opportunity.  We are taught, not to synthesize, but to summarize.  I'm sure most of us have been in classes where we were supposed to research an assigned topic, then take quotes and ideas from "real" authors (sometimes we are even told what authors to use), summarize them on paper, and turn in our own work*.
