When it comes to all the fancy software tools out there, I’m finding myself becoming more and more luddite.
I’ve learned through reading and discussion many ways on how to handle data. It’s something I’m always interested in. However, the one thing that I’ve learned – and sometimes the hard way – is that no matter how awesome your handling of your data it all falls to pieces when your tools break.

A coming of age story of a class of students learning poetry in an unorthodox way.
While I recommend and like this, it not great.
Something about it makes it feel somehow inelegant or simple, perhaps even predictable. Perhaps it stood out in its era, and it caught me at an impressionable moment for my first viewing, but as I watch it again it doesn’t grab me much at all. I think this would be weakly-mandatory for creating a well-rounded movie-learning experience in someone young.
