special labor day edition: the art of the essay

Tomorrow, for the very first time, you will learn exactly what an essay is.  (Spoiler: it's not that 5-paragraph torture you've been doing in school.)

If you haven't already, please read "The Conscience of the Hacker".  This is important.  We will be referring to the essay and to your responses-- so, if you haven't yet posted a response on your blog, please do that too.   Mahalo.
