Anxiety

Anxiety is not being able to open your mail for a month at a time and storing it in a drawer hoping it will go away.  I know there is nothing horrible in there, a few small bills and some paperwork for MediCal and Medicare.  But that's not the point at all.  I've gotten stuck in a anxiety and panic spiral that won't let me loose.  
I think that I'll be able to break out today though, because I managed to take out the pile of stuff that needs to be dealt with and put it on my desk for long enough to take a picture of it and then put it back in it's drawer.  
Now that I'm writing about it here I feel like I will be able to deal with it.  I've used some pretty silly excuses over the last several weeks for not opening it, but mostly it's just been the sense doom and panic if I even thought about it.  Today that doom and panic is merely low level dread, so I think I'll manage it.  I'll let y'all know if I succeed.  :-)

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
