CBC: It’s a “bungle”! No it’s a “blunder”! Hang on: it’s a “gaffe”!

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:43:41 PDT
CBC: It’s a “bungle”! No it’s a “blunder”! Hang on: it’s a “gaffe”! It ain’t good, that’s for sure! Just yesterday I had to update my Monday blog entry because the fair and balanced state-owned CBC Newsworld kept changing its mind about the Conservative government’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Maxime Bernier, and how to officially describe his, um, verbal malfunction. On Monday I showed you how Canada’s cable news networks—the state-owned one and the citizen-owned one against which t

40 Years Ago Today

Enoch Powell gave a speech to the Conservative Association meeting in Birmingham. "Rivers of Blood". I simply do not have the right to shrug my shoulders and think about something else. What he is saying, thousands and hundreds of thousands are saying and thinking - not throughout Great Britain, perhaps, but in the areas that are already undergoing the total transformation to which there is no parallel in a thousand years of English history. In 15 or 20 years, on present trends, there will be

There really is no excuse for anything posing as a news network to claim that ‘the blogs are buzzing about this one” and promote it so when any cursory search on the internets would have found numerous examples of just how specious a charge it was — like the video shot from the side here. As John Cole put it: “Notice something problematic?

A news junkie’s dream …. or nightmare

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 10:46:47 PDT
I am a news junkie and admittedly if I had cable plus the extra TV I would probably have either CNN or CBC Newsworld on the whole time I’m in my room I jokingly call my office. So when I saw Brian Solis’ post about local broadcast news going social I was at first rather skeptical of the the idea; after all everything these days is having the social sticker slapped on its ass like it is going to be the road to instant riches or something. But when I clicked on the LiveNewsComeras.com link (go

The maestro has gone gaucho. Francis Ford Coppola, 68, believes he's finally where he's supposed to be, a place where he can revel in financial and artistic control. Yes, Buenos Aires, Argentina, land of comparatively low production costs and much cultural ferment, especially the streets of this cosmopolitan capital. A city, one might add, with a large Italian community dating back to the early ...

Differentiation of Instruction in the Classroom

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 22:54:08 PDT
This is an editorial exploration into the birth of the theory and practice of differentiated instuction. I opine that what is claimed to be addressed by this allegedly "new" thinking and pedagogical approach, is neither adequately addressed in most cases, nor new. What would be new is a long-term commitment to it, unswayed by trend, fed by data.

"There's a Scientist, this Leftist, and an Ageing Hippy...."

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 05:03:32 PDT
If you love ethanol there is no use confusing you with facts. Simply to point out that it is not just right-wing reactionaries who think ethanol is a bad idea, I am posting links to three articles that make that point. The first is Science Magazine, second is Mother Jones, and last is Whole Earth News.

We’ll see if Bob is paying attention, and deletes this.

I could write an entirely inappropriate entry–with crude analogies–about how the length and girth (and anchor tags, and self-referential linking) of the recently posted consolidated sales rankings article was almost too much for WordPress to handle, but somehow I managed to get the ‘one big post’ off without too much wrangling, and WordPress only complained about 15 or 20 times before admitting that yes, my post would fit in the way that I wanted it too, I was the man and this type of long, bee

You don’t just create communities

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 09:56:15 PDT
There an interesting interview with Woody Harrelson in today’ Sunday Times. In it he talks about choosing to live in an environmentally conscious community in Maui which he describes as “we all get together for Thanksgiving and look after each other’s kids. It’s a real community, like one I’ve never been a part of in my life”. This got me thinking about everybrand’s attempts to create communities online. Particularly in a jumping-on-the-bandwagon kind of way. The thing is, you don’t just c
