Bed Time Postings

I really should not post when I'm tired, or have been drinking, or worse, both. As I said on an email list this morning:

In the cool light of morning, in contrast to my mood last night when I was tired and grouchy to start with, I regret having posted this. There really is not enough information available for anyone to really know what is going on there.

There is an update posted on Will Grigg's blog, at the end of the original post that set me off in my grogginess last night. In the update he pulls back some and indicates that he was contacted by someone on the Federal side who says that, while the Patriot Act is not the appropriate way to deal with things there was certainly a minor crime committed. That may or may not be true but it does remind me that going off half cocked like I did is seldom a good idea :-/

Please disregard anything I post after my bedtime of 9:30 PM and I will endeavor in the future not to post in my sleep. :-)

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

The Tea Parties

I didn't make our local Tea Party , but it pulled hundreds of people as well... Tea, anyone? from Father Hollywood by Father Hollywood Like hundreds of thousands of other Americans, the Hollywoods enjoyed a tea party this past Wednesday. "Tea party" (wink wink). Nothing subversive about sipping a little Darjeeling, eh wot? Nothing to see here, Miss Napolitano. Anyway, our local festivities were held at Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Metairie. There were literally thousands of people crammed into the neutral ground (though on that day, the ground was anything but...), as cars and trucks poured by the busy boulevard laing on their horns in support. Here are pictures. And like every such gathering in our environs, there was even a brass band and an improptu "second line" parade. It was a "party" after all. But it was a party with a serious reason. The crowds were so overwhelming that it was hard to hear the speakers, and unfortunately, we did have a fe...
