Not all battles are fought with a sword
Here’s hoping that everyone out there is having a happy winter break, however that plays out in your life.
We’re spending an excellent week and a half in Arkansas at my parents’, enjoying the company of the family and a gluttony of food and books. Best wishes to all!

When I edit, I tend to scribble a lot, even when it’s my own stuff (or the writing of people I really like). Last January, for example, I took a set of photos after scribbling all over a paper that Riccardo and I were working on for GECCO. This paper went on to win the Best Paper award in the genetic programming track at GECCO last month, so I’d like to think that all this editing had some value :-).
I posted the full set over in my events account, and I plan on using some of them to show my students that I’m not just being mean to them — I’m mean to everyone, myself included!
This showed up here now because a publisher contacted me about using it in a college writing textbook. I figured I’d clean it up and post the full size version.
