Hey everyone! Today is the day; I'm raising at least $200 for Children's Hospital in New Orleans. I'll be playing Overwatch for the next 12-ish hours, so feel free to stop on by and donate, or just say hi and/or make fun of my bed head.

One may RENT things from a business, but
BORROWS things from library.

Libraries, in general, ARE NOT businesses; they are cultural institutions.

Please enforce this distinction by using the appropriate verb, because the more people think of them as businesses they more likely they are to become businesses — to the detriment of the community in which they are situated.

Thank you for reading.

Building with learning: Containers and #el30. My reflections on Week 2 of @Downes #cmooc #el30 #blogpost

It's about using fancy code-techie things in ways to help facilitate learning, and importantly, how I got my head around it ;)

The most important part of the post is the last few lines, so if you don't feel like reading the rest, skip to the end. :)

Signs Your Exorcist May Not Be Legit

1. Their sole piece of equipment they call a "Ghostbustin' stick," which you suspect is a storm-blown tree limb from your neighbor's lawn.

2. They claim they learned how to exorcise "from the streets" and so you ask "Which streets?" but when you go to those named streets, they still look pretty haunted actually.

3. When asked their favorite thing about being an exorcist, they say "Working in a field that has no centralized licensing authority."

One hella year 2018 has been!
In 4 days this election insanity and filthy back-biting ads will be over (brief as that will be, 2020 approacheth)

Get ready to have ads jammed in your face about how spending shitloads of cash you don't have.. on people who dgaf about you and treat you like a doormat..
will make your season bright.

You're just making the rich... richer. Stuff will never make any of us happy.
Only LOVE can do that.
Doesn't cost a thing.
