What's with all the politics?

I dunno.

I guess I'm just feeling cranky for some reason. ;-/

Last week I didn't do much at all, just was in recovery mode from the long week of Pat's vacation, which I'm going to pay him back for in a couple of weeks when we run off to San Diego for the

Woo Hoo!

Serenity, Topanga, (but not Lora),



and I did go off to Shadow Cliffs for a bit on Saturday afternoon. We were only there for a little while. I'm glad I got the yearly East Bay Parks membership because that way I don't mind if we go and then the kids decide to leave after an hour, I don't get bent out of shape over wasting the $6.00 parking fee cause I didn't have to pay it! :-)

We set up the new tent I got in the back yard


and the kids slept in it Saturday night, they seemed to enjoy that.

There now, it's not all cranky political rants now. :-)

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.

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
