8 hour days suck

Just a note in case you wonder where I went, I'm probably not going to be blogging much this week, or next for that matter, because I'm working extra days while Pat is on vacation. I'm working 8 hour days Monday through Saturday this week, then I'll have Sunday off and go back to 12 hour days next Monday through Wednesday. As I've always said, I'm just as beat after an 8 hour day as I am after a 12 hour day. I get NOTHING done in those 4 hours off at the end of the day, I may as well have stayed at work. Then I don't get the days off, and nothing gets done, 8 hour days suck big time, I need the extra days off! Even though I work the same number of hours for the week I feel like I've been drained of energy by working more (even though they are shorter) days. Plus it costs me money to work more days, I pay $10.50 each day for a round trip to San Francisco on BART, so working 4 extra days costs me $42.00, sort of, I get 8 hours of OT for Saturday so I get it back but it still FEELS like I had to pay extra to work this week. Anyway, for the next week I'm liable to ignore blogging.

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
