Happy Friday, everyone. Now, I want you to know that it’s absolutely okay if you don’t yet understand Ruby symbols. (Which are the :words :with :eyes.) Kevin Clark has an article introducing symbols to beginners based around a typical data collection scenario: the one where I am being examined by a psycologist. Which is so true.

When I’m not doing tons of drugs (which is rare), then I’m usually being examined by doctors. Fortunately, my life experiences are very rewarding for all of you, especially when they are framed up in a teaching context. Hopefully soon we can have a tutorial on mixins that revolves around my rush to the hospital when I overdosed on injections of crushed dandelion heads. Dude.
