I am paranoid that I’m getting sick because so many of my students and folks I work with at CC are coughing, sneezing, and have that ill thang going on. So, I’ve had to sacrifice some work and deadlines in order to get more sleep.
Anyhow, I’ll get some time this weekend to get caught up.
I’m so enthused by the $100 Computer.
Plans for China trip are shaping up for the xmas season.

A new publication from ‘Reporters Without Borders’ entitled ‘Handbook
for Bloggers and Cyber-dissidents’ is perhaps interesting. Available
in a number of languages.
“Blogs get people excited. Or else they disturb and worry them. Some
people distrust them. Others see them as the vanguard of a new
information revolution. Because they allow and encourage ordinary
people to speak up, they’re tremendous tools of freedom of expression.
Bloggers are often the only real journalists in countries where the
mainstream media is censored or under pressure. Only they provide
independent news, at the risk of displeasing the government and
sometimes courting arrest.
Reporters Without Borders has produced this handbook to help them,
with handy tips and technical advice on how to to remain anonymous
and to get round censorship, by choosing the most suitable method for
each situation. It also explains how to set up and make the most of a
blog, to publicise it (getting it picked up efficiently by
search-engines) and to establish its credibility through observing
basic ethical and journalistic principles.”

Everyone must read Jono Bacon’s article about opening up OpenOffice.org. Getting OO.o developed more focused and understand is one of my goals in life — although it is somewhat subsidiary to some other goals right now, like getting up to speed at Creative Commons.
Don’t forget to Spread OO.o as wel.
Get music videos! Check out M.I.A.! I love exclamation points! They are wholly underutilized!
That’s right! All the other ones crash and need more development. My personal favorite is xfmedia. Its simple, quick, plays mp3s, videos, etc and gives me no hassle(hoff).
I’m working hard on my rockefeller grant…such a busy week. More later…
