Math with Bad Drawings is pretty cute. "This blog is about the things I like. It’s also about the things I can’t do. I hope that the juxtaposition here – polished, thoughtful writing alongside art that my wife (charitably) likens to ‘the average 6th grader’ – captures the contradictory state of the teacher, of the mathematician – and, what the hell, of the human. We are all simultaneously experts and beginners, flaunting our talents while trying to cover our shortcomings the way an animal hides a wound. You could call this a ‘math blog,’ or a ‘teaching blog,’ but I would call it a blog about owning up to weakness and drawing strength from successes, however transient or trivial they may seem."
