And I’m not sure I like it myself, since I’ve taught at a 1:1 laptop school before, and really wonder, as I wrote lately, if “the Web is too beautiful to waste on the young.” [...] [...] Our school is going 1:1 next year whether we like it or not.

I can relate to the need for smoking, although for me it's coffee that fuels my blogging, not cigs (thank G-d, emphysema is only something you can dismiss casually if you haven't had someone die from it who's close to you) (but I digress), I discovered real coffee doesn't agree with me and have switched to decaf ... ergo, no blogging. For at least a year. We all need to find healthier ways to keep awake I guess. :) Good luck & best wishes for continued health. Nice to see you’re blogging again.

If Google can lead a kid here, that's proof it shouldn't be trusted. And there is no Santa Claus. His job was shipped to China.

We could get into a discussion of Mao’s strengths and weaknesses during the LM, and probably agree on most of them, and ditto his performance during the PRC years. It was the site itself that was problematic, because it was _all_ weaknesses (silly ones, at that) and no strengths. Have you looked at it? (I deleted the repeat on the other thread. Once is enough, no?) Hi Bob,
