Yesterday in Livermore

Topanga spent the night with us on Thursday and all day Friday.  Serenity, Topanga and I walked over to Cafe Art and I left them there to spend a couple of hours doing some ceramic painting, I'll show some photos of those when they are finally done. 

We had lunch at La Pupusa House, a Salvadoran restaurant just across the street from us.

The History of the Pupusa
Pupusas were created by the Pipiles,  an indigenous people from El Salvador who spoke a dialect called Pipil. A pupusa (the Pipiles called it "pupusawa") is a thick, corn tortilla filled with any assortment of vegetables, pork, beef or seafood. Before hand-shaping a pupusa it is filled with the stuffing of your choice and cooked on a griddle - Not deep fried! A pupusa is equivalent to the pizza of Italy or the taco of Mexico, and the sky's the limit in selecting your favorite stuffing. Enjoy!

I especially love them because you can get them vegetarian or even full on vegan if you want to, and they are so YUMMY!  When Mike and Maryann came over to pick up Topanga last night Lora and the girls were sent by Maryann for more pupusas!  Woo hoo.  :-)  Serenity went to spend last night at Mike and Maryann's so I have this nice quiet morning to myself right now, woo hoo again ;-)

Later on yesterday, since it was a nice cozy 85 degrees, we enjoyed several hours of loafing at the pool...

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
