Google Acquires Pyra (web log software developer)

[Some interesting comments here… have to go back and look over this article more carefully. -Thomas]

The Annotated Web
The Google acquisition of Pyra—makers of the most widely-used weblog platform, Blogger—left those unacquainted with weblogs scratching their heads. When weblogs first appeared a few years ago they seemed like just another method for building vanity websites. But […]

Neat Article about Blind Sysadmin

Pete DeVasto, a member of my job search community, is a blind Systems Administrator. He sent me a pointer to an article that IT World ran about him:

Job Search Community

I decided to try another angle in the job search process - create a community for systems, network and database administrators to share job leads, tips, network and post resumes. So far so good: 50 signups in the first twenty-four hours, and more coming in every few hours. Idea is to get the jobs to […]

Peace

So, we picked up the kids from school at noon (actually, one of ‘em wasn’t feeling well enough to go to school, so she was delivered straight to the house… although she felt well enough to go play out back when she got here). After a bit, we all went downtown to join the 24 […]

Elementary P.E.

We went to visit the kids at school today - brought them pudding snacks. Noticed Lynnaea had a sack lunch today. She shared one strawberry with Journey, and ate the other - certainly healthier than whatever the school was handing out.
When we walked onto the playground, Lynessa was watching Lynnaea do P.E. She saw […]

Courage on the Basketball Court

Heterosexual attitudes towards bisexuality

[My guess is that we make people uncomfortable because we blur the lines between gay (other) and straight, and that, especially, we make men uncomfortable because many of us don’t fit the stereotypes they have about gay men. -Thomas]

Begining of Lent

[From an elist associated with a sister Church to my own. -Thomas]
Dear Children of Light;
The first Christians observed with great devotion the days of our
Lord’s passion and resurrection, and it became the custom of the
Church to prepare for them by a season of penitence and fasting. This
season of Lent provided a time […]

Heroic Principals and Failing Grades

[Setting aside, for a moment, whether we should take this all at face value,
the article demonstrates the fallacy of applying the same standard to every
school, regardless of the population served. This guy appears to have walked
into a terrible situation and done an amazing job of turning the
relationship between the school, community and students around (probably
with […]

Highway Robbery by Power Companies
