The snow is finally melting.
(proof once again that the best camera for the shot is the one you have with you)
If you look carefully you’ll see a laptop crucified on the breakout panel from the new at&t verse box. They’re testing the lines to see if they’ll handle the new service…

A Chicago teacher tell you what this is about, an open letter from Leslie Russell
(UPDATED)
Chicago Teachers Union has went on strike, despite not having a strike fund, and despite Penny Pritzker, ALEC and Bill Gates . This is about more then teacher salary, this is about education, about trying to privatize public schools, about using TIF as slush funds for the mayors fundraisers, about rich people screwing the poor. Support our students, they are our future. Photo of teachers marching in the Loop, by Phenakistoscope
Listen to today’s Majority Report: Sam Seder interviews Rick Perlstein on the strike, the Mayor’s perfidy, the monetization of school reform and corporate welfare. Plus Matt Farmer indicts Penny Priztker & the Mayor.
The most damning indictment to date.
“I am, and ever will be, a white-sock, pocket-protector, nerdy engineer.”
Whoop pee. Who cares.
Wow! is all I can say.
It was also Sandi’s burfday party. Yes, I know I didn’t post about it, i was quite remiss. And fairly net less. Either way, a bit of dough was raised to help defray Misha’s costs to return to Chicago and get treatment for the broken thumb and arm. There is still time to donate money, get ahold of Katherine Chronis or me (and I’ll hook you up with KC).
