Eileen: I don’t know if you’re speaking as a student or instructor of that class. But in either case, I’m confident your project’s audience will not soon forget it. :)
marta: Is it called Sturgeon’s Law — the rule that “99% of everything is crap”? Because there’s so much of everything on the Interwebs, it’s a lot harder to wade through it all and scoop out the critical 1%. Thank gods nobody has to do all the scooping on their own; when they find the good stuff, they just pass it around like crazy.
