Keep XP!
Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:13:43 PDT
Keep XP! Look, I justed signed the petition for Microsoft to keep Windows XP as a released product. Need I say more? What you say? Why? What a silly question to ask….

I have on a new Dell machine I bought in May and it has been a nightmare: It freezes, crashes, and hangs-up all the time. It doesn’t let me remove pre-installed programs. It doesn’t work

Oy, vintage cutlery again..and the cause-du-jour
Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:29:40 PDT
This is the April/May 2008 issue of "donna hay" magazine. My first ever! An indulgence for me personally at $7.95 but the clincher was the free notebook it came with called "note to self". It has lovely stripes of (whose?) signature duck egg blue and white (like in the magazine border above) with some elastic around the middle to keep it shut. I like elastic around notebooks. This one keeps the matching pencil in place. The inscription inside reads "A little book for life, love, adventure and t

Time to Recover
Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:37:14 PDT

Innovative Trends in High School : NPR
Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:47:45 PDT
I can’t believe that I missed this whole series all year long. The most recent story about online high school coursework sounds great (and I think I recall seeing an ad for physics teacher for the Virginla Virtual program that gets mentioned here).

When everyone’s an aggregator who’s going to do the creating?
Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:50:46 PDT
Is the shift from producing original content to curating it a sign of the times — end times maybe — for media as we’ve known it? In an excellent piece in Advertising Age, Matthew Creamer makes the point: Aggregation, not as a sidelight but as more of a focus, is a mission change for media, and there’s a case for it, to be sure. Time and attention have limits, but the universe of content, it seems, does not. So finding a way to quickly and cleanly deliver relevant news is important. But there
