Barefooting and standing

I was just now reading Mark Sisson's blog "Mark's Daily Apple" about going barefoot.  I like to be barefoot as much as possible so this entry about how to start is not such a big deal for me.  But he reminded me mid post of the "standing workstation" idea.  I've tried this a few times and I like it, but I don't have a really good standing desk yet.  When I build my RV/Tiny house though I'm certainly going to incorporate an adjustable work station so that I can go from standing to sitting and back with minimal effort and disruption.  Not sure quite how I'm going to accomplish that without spending a bucket load of money but I'm creative and I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out without too much trouble.  In fact I just now set my laptop up on top of my lego box :-)  Not really ideal height but I'm standing up now, so that's an improvement isn't it?  Yes... so I'm standing here writing on my blog, in my bare feet.

One issue I've got with barefooting is weather.  When it is really cold and wet it's not that comfortable, also when it's really hot the pavement can be just a bit toasty.  I wear sandals for most of those times but I would not mind trying some of those Vibram FiveFinger shoes because sandals generally have a pretty stiff sole:



Weird looking but maybe they'd be cool for a long rough hike?  Or the low rise ones:

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
