No, not the song that is played at Remembrance Day by the trumpet/cornet. This will be the Last post for the Mr.Rollins Division1 blog. It has been a blast. Thanks to everyone. I will not be updating this anymore, but you might be able to find my next blog (it will be more serious) but you will have to use your internet "sleuthing" powers to find it...
A special thanks to Josh who is responsible for many of the posts, plus some gentle encouragement plus at least 10,000 of the hits on the blog!

A More Profound Last Post (which technically isn't my last post because I went back in time to change the time stamp, but really it is my last post- and it's better than the one I had-and I had to change it because it came to me in a dream...)
Now, how's that for a title to the last post that technically isn't my last post, but actually is...
Anyway, the post is a link to Dr. Randy Pausch's Last lecture. ***
Why did I do this*? Well, believe it or not I have been dreaming about blogging/posting/texting and there was a "I can make a difference" theme to my dream. I was on my bike in a traffic jam, and everyone clapped.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*This refers to going back in time to retroactively post a "better" last post blog that doesn't contravene my original "this is my last post" blog title (and essence of that being the last post**
** Why did I make a footnote? Well, my English professor at UBC didn't like writing with the word "this". What does "this" refer to. Apparently I used it a lot. And one shouldn't. Use the word "this" a lot, that is. Especially if you're not a good writer to begin with. Replace your "this" in your writing with the words you actually meant to use there and all will be more clearer to your reader.

Why did I choose Randy Pausch's Last Lecture video? Well, I hope you remember the answer to that one. If not, watch it again (this is the entire video). Enjoy

Can anyone tell me?
Why my google chrome pages keep coming up in Russian?
Seriously. I have to keep translating the pages. Kind of annoying (not to mention difficult) as I don't know how to read or speak Russian.

Answer?
It's an environmental stapler. It actually cuts and then ties the pieces of paper together without a staple at all. Pretty sweet.
What is this?
I will give you a hint. I got one of them as a present from one of the students in our class today. It is a pretty neat (and environmentally friendly) gift. It is also a super-original idea. I had never heard of there being such a thing. I wish I had come up with the idea!
PS. Mine is white (instead of green)
