Where did I go?

Wow, I just noticed I've neglected my blog for a week! Where did I go? I didn't go anywhere at all. I just got lazy, or maybe nothing really earth shaking happened this week. Of course the fact that nothing much is going on hasn't stopped my from yacking on and on in the past :-)

So, what went on this week? Serenity and I went for a nice long bike ride on Wednesday morning, and then in the evening Lora and Serenity and I rode the 3 miles to downtown Pleasanton for the 1st Wednesday street fair, that was fun. On Thursday I did laundry and went to church... that's about it. On Friday Serenity, Lora and me rode back to Main Street and had a huge breakfast at Dean's Cafe. And now it's Saturday again and I'm sitting here writing and listening to TWIS (This Week in Science). My plans for today involve much sloth and relaxation, maybe some reading with Serenity (Lora does math with her, we both do science.) Oh yeah, tonight we are going to Mt. Diablo for Astronomy.

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
