OP-ED COLUMNIST: A Serious Proposal

The American Federation of Teachers should follow its president’s
recommendation to accept a form of teacher evaluation that takes
student achievement into account.

Yes, you've probably seen it before but every time I see it it brings me to tears of laughter.

"Well I'm confident that it will work.   The only thing is we're not exactly sure how much.. uh... explosives it will take to disintegrate this thing."

I've always been envious of the awe that kids felt during the days of the Apollo missions.  I think the LHC provides us with a taste of what it must have been like to see technology on such a scale.  This thing is simply beautiful.

You can take the island out of its agrarian past but you can't take the agrarian past out of the island.

Rupert visited for a couple of weeks and we documented it here.

The photos were taken with Aki's 50mm lens.  Its the first time she seriously used it and I think they are some of the cleanest shot's she's taken with her camera.  My goat shots were on a bright day and I suspect the lens simply let in too much light (or I just suck at photography).

If you're wondering, Rupert was far too mature to chase the silly goats.

Here are some great photograps of Burning Man. Its very hard to find great
photographs because the conditions are so harsh on the equipment. In this
case the photographer felt the value of the photographs were worth far more
then his equipment. I'm so glad he feels this way.
