Snagged this cool little picture from Silentiuss. Good pages, check him out.
Pretty cool site, found it searching for Carl Jung info.
I love to send cards but have sort of stopped because of paper waste. This is a great way to feel less guilty and still enjoy sending out cards.
This must stop! Israel is practicing genocide because George W. Bush was letting them and faith based charities in our country are supporting it. Israel needs to stop the killing and come to the diplomatic table and recognize just what century they are living in. Yes, I am angry today! So tired of pathological greed and self-righteous butchers killing in the name of their God.
More info begging you to help protect the wolves. This addresses that idiot in Alaska - Sarah Palin - an embarrassment to every woman on the planet. Hell, she is an embarrassment to every human on the planet.
Right on!
check it.
This is my anthem for George W. Bush; delusional liar, thief and sadistic coward. See ya asshole!
Oh yea baby, write this dirt bag a good-bye letter. M
Sign this people, send it around the world. American or not, sign it and let Washington D.C. know they have to reign in Israel. I am not saying the Israeli people are wrong they are just trapped in fear and drama with a corrupt and delusional government. Just like we are trying to dig out of. Stop the killing. All of the killing.
Code46 - always uplifting. Nothing brings joy to the huddled masses like reason thru humor in the midst of so much insanity.
I hear Pink Floyd 'teachers leave those kids alone'. I am so tired of you fear mongers. So very tired. Great post Code46.
This response belongs with the Linux post:
RETORT:
"I suppose I should, before anything else, thank you. You have given me the opportunity to show others just what a battle we face in what we do. "We" being those who advocate, support and use Free Open Source Software and Linux in particular.
If you find my following words terse or less than cordial, take a breath and prepare yourself...what I have to say to you are soft strokes to your hair in comparison to what you are about to experience.
First off, if there was even the slightest chance that I was doing something illegal, it would not have been done. To think that I would involve my kids in my "illegal" activities is an insult far beyond outrage. You should be ashamed of yourself for putting into print such none sense.
And please...investigate to your heart's content. You are about to have your eyes opened, that is if you actually investigate anything at all. Linux is a free as-in-cost and free as-in-license operating system. It was designed specifically for those purposes. Linux is used to free people from Microsoft. The fact that you seem to believe that Microsoft is the end all and be-all is actually funny in a sad sort of way. Then again, being a good NEA member, you would spout the Union line. Microsoft has pumped tens of millions of dollars into your union. Of course you are going to "recommend" Microsoft Windows". To do otherwise would probably get you reprimanded at the least and fired at the worst. You are only doing what you've been instructed to do.
You've been trained well.
I don't know when you attended college Karen but the Linux of even two years ago pales in feature and ability to what there is available now...and that in turn will pale in a year's time. linux is superior to MS windows in so many ways, they are too numerous to mention here...I am weary of enumerating them. Unlike Microsoft who meters their "improvements" and then shovels them to you every five years or so for purchase; Linux releases their improvements upon their completion. We receive the newest and the best of the system when it is tested to be usable and stable. Karen, you have no idea the slavery you work under...but you don't know any better. The shame of it is, you are trapped with millions of other teachers in obeying the NEA and preaching the goodness of Windows and Microsoft. A superior, free and absolutely entertaining method of operating your computer is within reach and you are unable to grasp it.
The most disturbing part of this resides in the fact that the AISD purchases millions of dollars of Microsoft Software in a year's time when that money could be better spent on educating our children. A dedicated School Teacher would recognize that fact and lobby for the change to Free Open Source Software and let the money formally spent on MS bindware be used on our kids.
A teacher who cared about her students would do that.
That is sad past my ability to express it to you. Don't shackle your students in your prison Karen.
Now. You give that boy his disks back. Aaron is a brilliant kid and he's learned more using Linux than he ever did using Windows. Those disks and their distribution are perfectly legal and even if he was "disruptive", you cannot keep his property. I have placed a call to the AISD Superintendent and cc'd him a complete copy of your email. It looks like we will get to meet in his office when School starts again after the holiday. I am anxious to meet a person who is this uninformed and still holds a position of authority and learnedness over our children.

-27 degrees in my little town. Time to deny the snow and go surfing. Peace
I snagged this photo from the pages of 'tindinks'.
Snagged this photo from the pages of 'RavenRocks' check out his pages, amazing photography.
This is a great source of information. Thanks for posting it takertumatta'. Great photos and excellent thoughts on your pages.
Crazy as this may sound, this video brings symmetry to my world. Moments of stark opposites in balance are moments of grace. Moments of grace are moments available for programming. Or, so I believe.
Meteors. Cool!
Can't have too much music in the world. Here is a good site.
I cannot seem to stop taking things from the pages of 'scorpenchantres'. Great pages!
