I present a couple of new links for your clicking pleasure.

Check out “The Underground History of Higher Education”, by John Taylor Gatto. This guy has an ax to grind with education as it plays out in our society. I read the first chapter which I found very interesting. I have no idea if this is good data or information, just interesting.

Paul Graham writes another winning essay entitled,“The Age of the Essay”. I like a lot of Paul Graham’s essays.

I thought I was the only one who stuck stickers on my laptop. It turns out I am in good company.

I stuck a bumper sticker on my laptop for the following reasons.

• So I wouldn’t confuse my laptop with other people’s laptops.
• I don’t put bumper stickers on my car for aesthetic reasons, but I didn’t want to toss my gorgeous EFF sticker.
• I wanted people who see the sticker to ask me what the EFF is. Even though I work with a very technical group of people it astounds me how few of them have heard of the EFF, much less donate to it.
• I wanted to irritate the next person my laptop gets handed off to.

Nice to see I’m in such good company.

Now I just wish my laptop wasn’t a Dell, so I could really hang with the cool kids.
