Starting up again

It has been a long time since I posted regularly to this blog.  I have decided that I do need a  place to post my thoughts in a longer form than really works on Facebook.  So now the Angry Gnome is about to be resurrected.  For me Facebook is mostly trivia and kitten pictures and "I hate politician X" cartoons.  So those are the things that I'm not going to be posting here.  Instead I'll be focusing on such things as autism (aspergers), faith and science, and the way all these things interact and impact my life.   

Yeah, right Larry sure you are going to go ahead and post on a regular basis about such things.  Well I might!  I'm sure there is a version of me in some one of the infinite universes that make up the multi-verse, who actually consistently follows through with his plans, but that certainly is not me.  On the other hand I'm much improved over the way I was a few years ago, so there may be some hope for this blog after all. 

Now this post really only has one purpose, and that is to test automatically linking posts here on Facebook so my friends there can see what I'm writing about.  So, welcome to the Angry Gnome, I hope you find interesting things here, I'll try and stay focused.  :-)

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

The Tea Parties

I didn't make our local Tea Party , but it pulled hundreds of people as well... Tea, anyone? from Father Hollywood by Father Hollywood Like hundreds of thousands of other Americans, the Hollywoods enjoyed a tea party this past Wednesday. "Tea party" (wink wink). Nothing subversive about sipping a little Darjeeling, eh wot? Nothing to see here, Miss Napolitano. Anyway, our local festivities were held at Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Metairie. There were literally thousands of people crammed into the neutral ground (though on that day, the ground was anything but...), as cars and trucks poured by the busy boulevard laing on their horns in support. Here are pictures. And like every such gathering in our environs, there was even a brass band and an improptu "second line" parade. It was a "party" after all. But it was a party with a serious reason. The crowds were so overwhelming that it was hard to hear the speakers, and unfortunately, we did have a fe...
