I wondered ...Thank you for this logtastic comment!<br /><br />I wondered about the video. I have some friends who never read my blog because they can't understand anything in my posts, it's all too technical and mathy, so maybe that video was for them.<br /><br />The headshots are all in a file for just such occasions, although they're all leftover from a video that was made from one of my posts, the Explainaholic one, but the callouts, yeah they were a bit of a pain. But that's also part of the story, getting this post done right also consumed me, with details like that. Thanks for noticing!<br /><br />And the math graphics were easy actually, I just used codecogs.org. It generates the html for your math expression, and you just paste it into the html editor. Listen to me. A couple of years ago I wouldn't have said any of that.<br /><br />I'm still feeling the feels, but now it's even better because I've shared it and you as usual just get me right away. I'm in meta-cognition logtopia!Audrey McLarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16768854682051024178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043597826599085122.post-72923153031413155452014-03-03T19:04:49.895-08:002014-03-03T19:04:49.895-08:00Wow. This post is awesome for a few reasons...
-No...Wow. This post is awesome for a few reasons...<br />-Noticing the issue in the first place. Most wouldn't have thought much of the 'a' in the exponent, let alone dealt with it, let alone then blogged.<br />-The way you decided to go through the whole thought process, up to and including rough notes. (I think the video was superfluous though! You carry this post, particularly in light of...)<br />-The little headshot graphics. I don't know, for some reason I find that funny, in a good way, in how you linked them to bubbles. I imagine pasting the math graphics into the right places was something of a pain too.<br />-The lesson you finally built up to. The logs themselves were really just the vehicle. Nice.<br /><br />Amusingly (and a bit egocentrically, sorry), this is exactly the sort of thing I credit my math personifications with - giving people a little nudge in the right direction and letting them go nuts, as it were. So "Thinking like a Logarithm" indeed! Logan approved! Here's hoping you feel that feeling you felt more often.Gregory Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547180132612659893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043597826599085122.post-65247454389178296922014-03-03T17:22:02.468-08:002014-03-03T17:22:02.468-08:00Thanks so much Tina! it means so much to me that a...Thanks so much Tina! it means so much to me that anyone reads to the very end (my posts tend to be long), likes it, laughs, and comments. Wow! We must have been SAB, bc that Louis CK jumped right out at me too.

Loved the conversations you ha...TOTALLY impressed. Loved the conversations you had w/ yourself, especially the part about "This is taking too much time and I have real work to do...." (or something like that: it would take me too long to scroll back up and find it), but then you go to, "Oh wait, what if I try...." First, this models persistence which is what we need to teach kiddos. Second, it was like listening to myself. It made me laugh right out loud. Not to mention that you saw Louis CK, too! Seriously, are we twins separated at birth or what!!?
