Oh Woe is me!

Oh Woe! Woe! Doom and despair! Oh pity poor wretched me who has melted down his computer!

Bummer.

I was fooling around with part of the operating system I ought not to have been fooling with, since I do not know what I am doing. Changing "skins" for windows, making it look "cool," as I thought. And I found upon the World Wide Web a place where one said he could make my computer look "WAY COOL" and I did download his evil program and I did run it without looking at it or really thinking about it. And behold it did summon up the demonic blue screen of death, and did dump memory and did prevent booting up of the computer in any way at all. And lo, I was forced to format my hard disk and reinstall my system to its original factory issued state and all was lost... all was lost... woe is me!

But I have back ups of most everything anyway so it's really not all that bad :-) It is just a royal pain in the neck for sure.

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Wikileaks and police state censorship

I saw an article today on SF Gate about some nit wit Bush appointed Federal Judge ordering a website I'd never heard of called Wikileaks shut down because they were publishing some bank documents from some corrupt Swiss bank. The amusing thing is that they can't actually do it! Even more amusing is that this just draws attention to the site and makes it that much more visible, yay idiot goons! :-) There are mirror sites all over the world and it's almost impossible for thuggish police state goons to figure out how to close off all of the leaks :-) One mirror site is here: http://wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks The US site they tried to close down is still here: http://88.80.13.160 "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe,...

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome
