- U.S. is a wonderfully free country. But freedom is quashed when some powerful people try to coerce the rest of us into adopting their view of morality. Today it is the Far Right attacking scientists working on AIDS and sexuality. |

- I've been a longtime proponent of student portfolios and one of the most appealing things about Web logs for me has been the obvious ease with which they could be used to create an online repository of student work and reflection. I've written a lot about this here, and these struggles aren't new, but I've been trying to slowly work toward implementing them on some small scale with the hopes that the idea would grow. Today I sat with my English Dept. supervisor and explored the idea in more detail, and it became obvious that despite the promise, there are still some serious issues to work through and some serious differences between online portfolios and digital portfolios. The biggest stumbling block is the potential for plagiarism. |

- Cientificamente: por que no existe Dios? Jamas se ha demostrado, ni se ha observado, ni se ha contrastado, ni se ha reducido a las Matematicas la existencia de Dios. El metodo cientifico, el mas valido para nuestro conocimiento, se basa en el razonamiento para sacar hipotesis, y en la observacion y la medicion para comprobarlas. Un experimento cientifico debe de poderse repetirse en cualquier lugar y con cualquier persona. |

Émergence (Oct 29 2003 23:34 GMT) - Coucou, me revoi-loup... Après près de deux mois d'écriture de langage Perl, me voilà à nouveau en mesure d'écrire dans une langue... Malgache, française ou anglaise, qu'importe, dans une langue compréhensible sans avoir à feuilleter compulsivement Perl précis et concis à chaque coin de ligne (laissez moi décider des licences que je prends par rapport aux règles de géométrie), et à farfouiller dans des !groupes de discussion fleurant bon le café, la pizza froide et la barbe de trois jours. Après l'époque GoLive combiné avec BBEdit Lite et HTML Tidy, après l'épopée Radio Userland, voici venu le temps des pages sous blosxom. |
