So I know I have to keep writing about the “man I want to be.” The guy who doesn’t drink (hmmm..interesting that that is first out of my fingertips) so he can write every night and create a weblog for media teachers to exchange ideas and to make it the most comprehensive such site on […]

Found a couple of more cool blogs thanks to MetaFilter links. First is NewsTrolls which is pretty comprehensive about world, eco, etc. Also a pretty interesting four column design which I wonder how she/he updates. Evolt.org is primarily for web designers, but it has an interesting design. I swear I could spend days just looking […]

So what am I thankful for? I talented, gracious, intelligent, beautiful wife, nice, precious kids, a beautiful, warm home. Those are definitely the big three. A job I really love. Jeannie and Nate living so close by. Computers. Weblogs (which really turn me on.) My health. Food on the table. Somehow I need to remember […]

Hmmm…amazing how time flies. Read an interesting article on the SAT in the Times on Saturday, then another yesterday. Could it be the beginning of the end? I was talking to Dave this weekend about exit portfolios…wonder if anyone else is doing that stuff. Here’s an overview of what one school does.

Got the first signature of the yearbook out today. Thank God. Thought we were going to go with a pretty sucky design for the dividers, but we came up with a much better alternative. I’d actually give the sig a B+, which considering where we started is a great grade. Need to keep looking at […]

More and more, this is how I am beginning to feel about this “war”. I’m not sure how much is wrapped up in my general dislike of conflict and how much of it is a sincere belief in the power of passivism a la King and Ghandi. Either way, the whole war scenario ends (and, […]

Great site that provides a lot of resources to weblogs as a form of journalism. Still think it would be cool to present about this at JEA next year.

From the “Bad to Worse Dept.” And the reason I had kids was so they could grow up in this?

Article that I linked about weblogs as journalism. I think it would be really interesting to research how weblogs are used in class and see if there might be an article to write. Just seems like a very cool way to introduce publishing, writing, page creation. Would be a great class to teach…hmmm. Definitely want […]

“This much is true: It really is possible to love your country and value your freedoms and still believe the government is full of fools and prevaricators and BS artists and Dick Cheney. Really.”

Another version of the Bill Moyers speech turned article, this one with a few more ideas on how to clean up the electoral mess we’ve gotten ourselves into. Think about Clean Elections systems and a Citizens Channel. That might really be something to work toward.

Heard at the 7/11 this morning: “I was about to throw something through the t.v. if Brenly had put that Jap into pitch again.” This is what makes me scared about the future of the country. I’d love to know how Bill Moyers makes that guy support renewable energy sources and publicly financed campaigns.

Time to stop eating meat. Actually, might be time to stop eating everything. “…the threat of terrorism is casting a spotlight on industry after industry, from mail delivery to air travel, exposing vulnerabilities that were often known but never taken seriously.” Might this be a good thing?

Required Reading Dept: Bill Moyer’s great speech about the state of the world, and Salman Rushdie’s essay about the state of Islam.
