Huffpost put this up in their Sunday roundup.  I hadn’t seen it yet…it ends with a very poignant message.
True.

I have connected deeply with Michael Wesch’s work at Kansas State University. He has put together some marvelous work on the ways that students learn (or don’t learn) today and the ways that the educational system is not meeting students where they are at. On his blog, he recently posted a re-visiting of [...]

As he often does, my friend Drew got me thinking this morning with a blog post. He is reflecting upon some of the pieces of Sarah Palin’s interview with Charles Gibson tonight on 20/20.  I have not seen the interview as yet (although the Tivo is set to record) and I have only seen a [...]

I have linked to Roland Martin’s work before on CNN.com and I need to do so again.  This time Mr Martin is trying to focus on how to get past the political sides of the discussion regarding Gov.

A bit of history
- Scrabulous created on Facebook and quickly becomes one of the most popular (and addicting) [...]

Well, after being a MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 98, and Windows XP guy all my life, sometime later this week, a new era in my geek life is going to begin.  I have a brand new iMac on its way from Apple sometime later this week.  Going to be a crazy few weeks as I [...]

I have alternated between laughing at the silliness and annoyed at the inaneness of the discussion about whether Barack Obama should wear a flag pin.  Does his choice to not wear one make him “un-American” or “un-patriotic”?  Going back to the useless 2 hours that ABC had a few weeks ago that was offically called [...]
