Moving Time Again :-(

Well, since Mike and Maryann are getting married soon, Lora and I have been searching for a new place to live, this is complicated by the fact that we have a large dog and most places don't accept dogs over 25 or 35 pounds. That was why we were excited by the idea of living out in the woods a few weeks ago. It seems God didn't think that was such a great idea. O:-)

In the course of our search we found that there is a large apartment complex in the very heart of Livermore called Mill Springs Park that will accept our pets and it's within our budget and it's very nice. We are getting a two bedroom two bathroom place there. It has a small deck, a wood burning fireplace, central heat and air conditioning. It's also one of the newer complexes in the area having been built in 1990 and refurbished in 2000. Of course it has a swimming pool, hot tub, fitness room and club room as well. We will be signing our lease tomorrow morning and the movers will be here on March 23rd in the morning. Once we move in and get organized I'll take some pictures.

One of the best things about this place is the location. It is within a couple of blocks of the 1st Street section of Livermore, a traditional American style "main street" sort of place, lots of nice restaurants and shops there. It is a block from Safeway, about 3 blocks from Trader Joe's.

Here is the location:

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
