Brrr

It's cold outside. Actually it's cold inside as well, at least here in the lobby of the tower. Our building engineer worked on the heat today and there is at least a slight detectable warming of the air, or maybe it would be more accurate to say a lessening of the bitter cold! It's 41 degrees outside and windy... brr. I did notice the other day that Father Hollywood was talking about the Sneaux! they got and about how seldom it snows in New Orleans. I checked it out and it snows twice in New Orleans for each time it snows in San Francisco. That doesn't stop it from getting cold here though, really we're suffering here...

I keep looking to the hills and expecting to see white but so far nothing. How can it be so cold and still not snow? Humph.

The weather service says it will be down into the 20's tonight, so if we do get any precipitation it will be snow. Yay... actually "ACK!"

    I'm wondering if ripping up the carpets this year was a good thing....

    Yeah, no allergies. But man, I have NEVER put the heat on so much in all my years out West!!

    Keep baking cookies, it helps!

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
