Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
Yet another dialogue we need to be having right now, that we aren’t having: What does it really mean to educate a child? What are we doing about it? Whatever education we’re providing for them, what does it have to do with forming a vision, designing a solution, and using what’s available to implement it, in ways nobody has ever tried before?
You could always fall back on teaching the toddlers how to be bubbly, engaging, outgoing, cheerful and precocious. From time to time, though, we can all use a reminder that the world doesn’t work solely because of the Guy Smiley folks that are fun to watch. Really, when you get down to it, they’re just here for entertainment…appreciated most fully by people who aren’t getting work done.
Technology is the opposite of adhering to protocol and convention. If we become too obsessed about doing things the way they’re “s’poseda” be done, and being fun to watch so that everybody pays attention all the time, technology can stall. If technology stalls, a whole lotta jobs go away…more than most people think.
Hat tip: Gerard.
