Off camping and other news

Well, Lora, Serenity, Topanga, Buster and me are all heading out for Caswell Memorial State Park tomorrow with the SFBUNies so there won't be any posts here for at least the next four days.... unless there are... there is a Starbucks 8 miles away in Modesto where we could pick up wifi.

Anyway, there won't be many pictures from me because my fancy schmancy camera is FUBAR at the moment and I haven't had the time nor inclination nor cash to send it off for repairs yet.  I have no idea what happened to the thing.  Usually I drop them or spill soda on them or crush them in narrow cave passages but this time I really have no clue what I did to break it.  :-(

Finally, the whole vegetarian thing is officially history for us :-)  It would be nice but it's so much cheaper to buy packaged meats and such from the evil agribusiness conglomerates that I've given up on the idea of treating our avian, porcine and bovine brethren with love and respect and am just going to eat them in whatever form comes cheapest.  Sorry about that my animal sisters and brothers :-/

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.

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,...
