Should have just stayed in bed

My day so far.

Got out of bed at 4:10 am, stumbling about in the dark I stubbed the little toe on my left foot, it's still barking at me. :-P

Got rained on getting to the car to drive to BART, then missed my train.

Checked my bank account via Blackberry while on the train and saw that there were two $45 withdrawals for BART this morning on my auto-load ticket, I thought that was sort of odd and figured I would call them later.

Got to SF and my EZ Rider (auto-loading BART ticket) would not let me out of the gate.  I talked to the station agent and they checked my card and said it is inactive.  Though when I checked on their web site they say my card IS active. 

I went and bought coffee for Ellard and me at Starbucks, brought it to my desk and turned it upside down dumping the entire cup onto the desk and the floor.

Called BART EZ Rider customer service and got told to leave a message... they have never called back.

Maybe I should have just stayed in bed today :'(

Eat a live toad the first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.

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. :-/

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

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,...
