In ye olden days, AP or UPI newswire teletypes would spit out a constant stream of paper in newsrooms. Editors or reporters would have to periodically use rulers to tear apart the continuous spool of paper into individual stories. These stories would be sorted into baskets or hooks on the wall. This was called "stripping the wire". In the same way, this blog will attempt to sort through relevant content on the internet to identify and "strip out" items of interest for my students.

I'm still not into the blogging thing. I kind of find it pointless sometimes but you do find out new information that you didn't already know. I just have to get use to blogging I guess. Maybe I will start my own blog one day and not just comment on others.
