Hi Russell
Hows it going?
Glad to see the daily self portrait still going-what stamina!
Have you considered doing a poster or postcards of all the portraits?
I'd buy one!

I have long felt that we are getting our post-primary schooling all wrong.

After we have taught our kids to speak/listen/read/write and be respectful of all things, then we should be putting our efforts into helping them acquire the skills to:

a) acquire the information they want/need off the internet,
b) assess the quality of the information thrust at them by search engines, intelligent "agents", "crawlers" et al, and
c) use the quality information as a catalyst for their own living.

It seems, though, that we persist with using post-primary education years to cram them full of "facts"...what a waste of time, when the majority of mankind's knowledge is now accessable on the internet.

The Power of Nightmares: The Rise of the Politics of Fear

Narrator: "But the fear will not last, and just as the dreams that politicians once promised turned out to be illusions, so, too, will the nightmares; and then our politicians will have to face the fact that they have no visions, either good or bad, to offer us any longer."
