Have you killed music?
May 07, 2010I ask that because we’ve all been a part of the musical revolution that’s gone from live only (before our time), to recordings, to radio, to TV, from records, to 8-tracks, to cassette tapes, to CD’s, to mp3’s. Soon, we’ll be downloading music straight to our brains.
Check out this article on the evolution of musical formats – how has it changed the way we view music? The world around us? Has the mode of musical transport affected the music itself? Is music really dead?
FYI, the article is long, and near the middle gets a bit dry, but the (the image at) the end makes up for it. 
Teachers with accents to be banned from teaching English in Arizona
May 05, 2010I think this says it all: “Arizona Department of Education has told schools that teachers with “heavy” or “ungrammatical” accents are no longer allowed to teach English classes”
So…what if you have a Southern accent (like me)? Does this mean that if you don’t sound like NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw, that you’re not fit to teach the English language? For shame, Arizona.

Are we hardened to the idea of terrorist attacks?
May 04, 2010It happens in every war: the innocent people trying to live their lives in the crossfire get hardened and immune to the idea of violence, terror, and death. Has the United States (and especially New York City) hit that point?
Read about the Times Square bomber, his capture, and the responses of New Yorkers.
Kick-Ass Hit Girl – bad ass super hero or wayward little girl?
Apr 14, 2010Just because she can’t see through walls or breathe underwater or shoot lasers out of her eyes doesn’t mean that Hit Girl isn’t a bad ass superhero. From the trailers and what I can find online, she seems to be a whole new ball of wax for comic book-style crimefighters - Hit Girl kicks ass and takes names.
But what are parents going to think about an 11-year old using sailor-style profanity and slicing and dicing bad guys? Let’s hope they don’t make this into something more than what it is: a movie. Because I could use a little more Kick-Ass in my life.
