Placeholder for future rants

I don't have time right now, but you can expect some future rants on the following topics that have been eating away at me:
1) How Teachers Unions force bad teacher retention.

personal note - some resources to help my memory:

most importantly: Hershberg, et al

The hunt for TMX elmo

The TMX Elmo Tracker

The hunt begins, I actually had 3 on backorder from the PBSshop but they cancelled it, citing that they are not guaranteed another round, however at least they offered that I will have a shot at ordering before the general public should they get another shipment.

P.S. There is also a nintendo revolution tracker for anyone interested.



What I am listening to: Nothing becuase iTunes 7 completely hosed my computer, so now that I back from countless Blue Screens of Death.....I have to find an iTunes alternative....maybe songbird. grrrrrrrrr.
