I'm back

After a 3+ year hiatus from blogging I'm going to restart my blog.  The reason is the constantly tightening censorship of posts on Facebook.  I don't know for sure if this is the platform I'll be using full time, but since I've already got stuff here I may as well use it for now.


I am thinking that as far as distribution of posts goes, since I don't want to be directly on Facebook anymore, I might still use Messenger to post links to what I write.  That way I could send out a group post and see if anyone wants to read me after all.  I made a list of 15 people I'd like to keep in touch with, I may add others later but for now that's it.  I may ask folks for an email address so I can email out the blog to them, but for now, well I'm just doing this post as a placeholder and test.

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...

Viva California! USA out of California Now!

Gene Veith points to a Russian who predicts the breakup the American Empire. Gene is somehow unaware of the dozens of secessionist movements in various states. Granted they are almost all small but still, they exist and this could be a good time for us. Those who know me already understand that I'm a California Nationalist who I doesn't think California should have joined those united States in the first place. Being a part of that empire just costs us money, we get nothing in return. These days we get to be hated by foreigners for being Americans and mocked by Americans for being Californians. Getting us out of the US yesterday would be a day too late as far as I'm concerned.

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
