Today Terry wrote this in his journal -

"They say that a child who is abused at an early age has a greater chance of becoming an abuser later in life. I think Israel needs to learn that lesson and start acting like an adult country."

I agree 100%, I am so sick of hearing about the plight of the downtrodden (reality: rich, powerful, hateful, weapons of mass destruction wielding) Israelis, who in turn are creating such turmoil and hardship for the people of Palestine.

You would think that a people with a collective memory of such horrific experiences in the hands of the Nazis would have compassion and understanding for other displaced people.

Perhaps they have always behaved this way and that is why people traditionally acted so hateful toward them. I hope Sharon gets treated the same way the Sadam Hussein was although I know he never will. Down with Israel.

Here are some images that explain why I think the Israelis are hated so fiercly that people are willing to lose their lives in suicide bombing to stick it to them. Just rememebr, each one of these palestinian children will have these image in their minds as they grow up.

Today is the last day to get everything ready before I am thrown into two school schedules.

I agree with Nick about the iPods. Why on earth would apple realease something that was only slightly smaller and cost almost the same? At this point if I was going to buy, I would buy the larger one and stick with white. They even sell color faces for the old iPods anyways.

There are some other issues.

1. Where is the voice recording feature that just about every other MP3 player has?

2. What about a linux version of iTunes. It seems like it should be easier to port than the windows version was?

3. What is going to happen when Microsoft comes out with their new digital device and it has video?

I think they will go the way of the "Flower Power" iMac, if they don't drop the prices. The person who designed this iMac should have been fired. Maybe they were.

For thos eof you that are not sure what OS/2 or Beos are or are just wanting a historical rundown of the operating systems. Check this out. It is current to 2003.

Canisius starts on Tuesday after Martin Luther King Day. I am so excited about teaching again. It is definately more fun than being a student for me. I have had it with the more than 20 years of education I have endured. Enough hoops already.

I had this idea yesterday that it would be much more rewarding if I taught old people how to use computers than college students. I think I could see a carreer developing.

It seems like older people have so much informtaion that is on the brink of extinction. By combining technology teaching and older individuals, we would be able to give them a sense of purpose and a source of communication, as well as, prevent a huge amount of information from being lost.

It retrieval will be my goal.

I got really mad at someone trying to break into my house and it made me sent threats to the wrong place. Sorry, if I angered anyone.
