If you click on the “Homeschool Blog Search” tab above, you’ll go to my nifty new search engine that uses Google and only searches select homeschool sites. I’ll be adding to the list, please leave suggestions in the comments. At the moment, there are about 25 homeschool blogs, plus all the homeschooljournal.net sites, in the [...]
On 12/31/1995 I sat down at about 9 PM with the intention of having a web site on the Internet before midnight. I had an almost 2 year in the crib, and a 7 months pregnant wife in bed. I didn’t have anything else to do that evening. Technically I succeeded, as I ftp’ed my [...]
This Bacon’s Rebellion post on Alvin Toffler’s view on education (which sounds suspiciously Gattoesque) is generating some interesting comments.
What is your favorite digital photo software? I’ve got about 4400 images in my photo directories and Picasa has recently developed a new feature of constantly updating the thumbs dB, and grinding my new NAS hard drive unendingly in the process. I’m not finding any answers on the Picasa problem so I’m thinking I might [...]
Refresh your browser if you aren’t seeing it. I was scanning Picasa earlier today for potential winter banners, so no guarantees on how long the bridge remains.
According to a book available for sale in National Park Bookstores, the Grand Canyon was created by Noah’s Flood. Also, park rangers are forbidden from telling visitors that the Canyon was formed hundreds of millions to billions of years ago. And they wonder why the US is falling so far behind in science education? PS [...]
The Toxic Parents post generated a lively discussion. Instalaunch – weekend edition. I took on the testing boogie man. We bought a horse.
Delaney won her first blue ribbon. The pinnacle of my little league coaching career. Salon linked to me. I made fun of the NEA. VA blogger Fred First released his book. I went to NYC and all I got was a stupid pencil.
I now have a NAS (network attached storage) on my home network. I got tired of having music and photo files spread across 3 PCs, depending on who had hard drive space available. Now I have a 250 GB dedicated storage device with it’s own IP address, so accessing it is not dependent on the [...]
This expose of a high end chocolatier is fascinating, even if you have no interest in overpriced chocolate. The short version is a chocolate geek with a website got curious, and determined that the company is taking expensive $33/lb chocolate, repackaging it, and marking it up to $2000 a pound to sell it to idiots [...]
All incoming email from the web form on the fencing site gets dumped into my spam folder on Gmail. Training it by telling it that those emails are good is not changing that behavior. There does not seem to be a way to set up a Gmail filter that tells it if subject=x then move [...]
I got stuck with return duty today. We had to hit Target, Borders, and WalMart to return things, plus we visited the computer store, Best Buy, the pet stop (needed food for Blackbeard), and I stopped to get a pound of shredded pork shoulder for dinner tonight. (Mmmm, Gates BBQ…) All that took barely two [...]
I found this Gallery of Advertising Parody over at Jay’s. I didn’t want to pull out the same example he did, but it is the most apropos to my audience.
I’m through all 11 episodes of Heros. Wow.
It’s not like he didn’t score multiple new PS2 and PC games. However, the first Christmas present he dived into was a history book. Although overall, he spent 10X the time on Christmas day playing video games!
