Word for next week: Luddite

[learnteach]

Madagascar ends, and who knew "Move it" would be gravel? Next week: Luddite.

Need a PLN. Gonna be a Luddite. Music on the radio, letters but not games on the PC, food cut and cooked and recognizable (nothing too processed), entertainment live--Bay Area Derby (GO MOLLY MAYHEM!), play, tiles on the board scrabble, sword on the head warpractice.

Car broke down on the way to Lou's today. Blew out the "T" join in the radiator/engine hosing, huge cloud of steam. Fixed it myself, which is nice, but shows how old this 1990 car is! Man, they build them to last these days--but 16 years?

Starting to look for local teaching jobs. Woot!

Luddites rule! I'm thinking of starting a real letter WRITING campaign--you know, as in paper, pen, stick in envelope, put on stamp sort of stuff. Gasp. Wanna join the Revolution?

I have a whole file DRAWER full of stationary, waiting for the day the computers rebel.

We all have to beware of when the modern conveniences and novelty become our little masters. Remembering that these things are just things to help us meet our other bigger goals of creativity and friendship.

Tivo for instance, is good to help you see a show you are interested in following, and even makes it shorter with the commercials removed. If it only makes you spend more time watching TV, then it has failed in it's mission, and has become your social planner.

For me it's all about personal connections.
