I guess it's official then.

Well then, even though I have not yet gone to a shrink and been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, the general consensus of people I've spoken to who know me pretty well is "well duh!" :-)  I keep waiting for someone to say "Nah, you are not that odd Larry, you seem pretty normal to me, Aspergers?  Really?  I don't think so," but not one person has come out and said that :-/  So then, it's not just my own self image that says I'm weird but pretty much everyone else says the same thing.  Phoo.

Knowing this does give me an opportunity to watch myself and try and figure out things I'm doing that may be inappropriate, before I do them if I'm really lucky!  I've had the same job for a very long time so they are pretty used to me, but I still worry that I'll say or do the wrong thing and wind up fired for it.  I did have a melt down at work once when one of the homeowners was on my case constantly... that didn't do me in so I suppose the chances are I'll survive my frequent faux pas in the future as well.  But knowing that I'm doing it, which believe it or not I was pretty well oblivious to until just recently when I started reading about AS, gives me a chance to work on changing those inappropriate behaviors!  Woo.  " 

I saw this non-emoticon on an aspie thing, not recalling where right now but I like it    "

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
