Drupal modules are pretty cool. I’ve just found a Tex filter that would allow a teacher to post mathematic formulas in text.

The filter also can generate an iFrame with a graph. Here’s a sin(x) sample:
[graph]sin(x)[/graph]

We went to a midnight showing of Superman Returns and really enjoyed it. The movie might have been a bit long but it sure packed a lot of action and story into the time. The movie was an excellent balance of new information and story with references to the first two movies.…

last matinee on a very hot Friday. I had only seen one review prior to going to see this movie. It definitely delivered.
