POPSEnd Users Drive Us To It! Gee, it all becomes clearer now. Step 2: Allow FPS games at work when we just need 20 minutes to blow off steam. Please?

POPSOregon Measures I'm extraordinarily happy the two education initiatives did not pass. Measure 60 was poorly worded and even more poorly thought out. Sure, in the corporate world it makes sense to pay employees based on performance. In the world of education, those same standards would sell students short and punish teachers who are doing a wonderful job of reaching hard-to-teach students that don't meet some "undefinable" definition of succeeding. As for the latter, limiting ESL education to two years would have been devastating for the more than 40% of public school kiddos who don't speak English as their first language. Yes, they should learn in English, speak English and so on, but to learn, there has to be a trade off. Finally Oregon made some solid choices.

POPSVisions of Putty Somehow, I don't think I'll be trying this on any of my precious laptop components just yet. The idea of purposefully placing something akin to silly putty on a keyboard, allowing it to flow around the keys, and expect not to end up with a gooey mess disturbs me greatly. I think I'll stick to compressed air. Interesting idea just the same... why else ruin hundreds of dollars of componenets?

POPSAdvice... and relationships... Hmmm, I *like* this article and will totally have to bookmark it and save it for later. I'm guilty of the "woman" part alot lately, and I don't articulate well in person - I can write it out but I can't talk about it. It's a good read.

POPSFirefox Download @ 10? Sweet! To download, not to download? That be the question. I love my plugins and addons, and I'm sure that a number of them won't work right away with the new update. On the other hand, gotta be part of this new initiative for World Records, so downloading it is. Besides, FF3 is supposed to have MAD features.

POPSExpensive! Damn. I paid $4.09 today and thought it was overpriced and now I see that's actually a dime shy of the average price here. WTF!

POPSMe Want! I have easily half-a-dozen spare SATA HDDs that I've pulled from old systems over the years. This is absolutely the neatest thing ever. But $50 for an enclosure, no matter how cool the fun factor is, doesn't work for me. I'll have to keep my eyes out for a better deal.

POPSBaseball I've found this story twice today while shifting through the news. In light of all the doom and gloom floating about, it's a wonderful story.

POPSCelebrating Spam Why Exactly? So apparently we're somewhere around the advent of the very first SPAM message and it's important to know that. I'm not sure why, but hey, might as well pass it on. More importantly, if you want to properly celebrate I have thousands of spam messages that Gmail kindly filters for me that I can pass on to those celebrators, ahem, victims. :D

POPSAlright, WTF Honestly folks, there are hundreds of thousands of children without homes in the United States and rather than do something humane, you go out and "adopt" a monkey and try to train it to be a human and then abandon it when it's going to, guess what, continue to be an animal. I'm all for having animals as pets, but they're still animals, and they're still pets. Humans are something else entirely. And this just makes me sick - not all creatures were meant to be domesticated.

POPSTechnology in Classrooms? Actually, this doesn't surprise me one bit. There are no computers in classrooms in my building. My lab it outdated by a solid ten years. I have two mobile carts totaling less than 30 computers for student use . And my teachers are illiterate and unwilling to learn technology standards for use in their classrooms. Face it, K-12 technology still has a long way to go.
