Everytime I open "Anarchic_Universe" on Google, my friend, I find a notice I am shutting down the blog. That is not true. That was a fleeting idea born out of desperation with my keyboarding problemas. Soon they will be resolved. I will go back to where I started in the computer realm, a PC.
My master's thesis is trapped in a black screen AT&T computer. It was written in LaTeX way back in 1987. It was on Paulo Freire's educational methodology, kinda en vogue at TESOL 1996. TESOL is a great organization to belong to, its convention a dazzling event getting together teachers of English as a second or other language from all over the world.
That said, I need not say I was not Ph.D. material at the time and later we had to choose who would pile it higher and deeper. I went for my graduate course in education and he continued his long pursuit for his Ph.D. We both did things the wrong way. I have a multi-colored blog, with blogrolls, he had no one to understand his ideas. His first advisor went to live on a boat on the Seine, the second had no tenure and the third guy did take pleasure in not signing my husband's card until he re-wrote it to this guy's satisfaction, a day before graduation.
We never depended on recommendation letters. I walked into the school where I worked in L.A. and got the job hands-down. In SMMUSD, the principal knocked at my door for me to give her the data to take it to the board. The idiot who wanted to stall my husband is still at his samo-lamo job. I retired, but listen, my sisters at Google, Hillary supporters like me, I am not dead, yet.
What you'll see is intense use of Firefox and Vista, with no vista and no view, a line from "White Men Can't Jump." Unfortunately, I will be using Vista so I can use voice-recognition programs for Portuguese and for English.
Soon I'll be on a PC (a horrible thought) but that is the way the Apple bounced. They really meant it when they removed computers from Apple, Inc.
I would like to thank André Marmota, Gabriela Zago,at new URL,
Seth A. or swanksalot at Flickr and Tom Watson, in true alphabetical order in Brazil, first name prevails. You've been really good friends, making this network quite especial.
Have a wonderful end of the year if I am not back here tomorrow. I think I wlll.
Willpower is a great weapon for survival.
Forgive my ignorance as I haven't used an Apple since I was a preteen, but Apple doesn't have voice recognition?
I hope you're doing okay.
Happy New Year!

Hello Freaky Deaky:
I never include you in inner links because I know you detest "lurkers". Saying you used Apple as a preteen kinda gives away your age, dating it with the strongest efforts of the creators of Apple in making it strong for educators and visual artists; the comeback of Steve Jobs. I would date your Apple years in the 90s, when I used to be at the forefront of tech in education, the Mac Performa and the Jetsons Mac. Those were heady days for Apple and for me.
Step into 2008 with health, prosperity and peace. Love can help, too. Apple computers is dying, the computer part of it, I mean.
