Prosthetic Conscience

Zombies!

Okay, I decided that I’m not only going to blog about important, serious, responsible things like politics and philosophy, but about stupid things that I think about. So I have initiated a zombies section! This is mainly to keep me writing, so that I am a “producer” rather than only a consumer on the web. Some time soon, I want to write a little bit about choice of weapons in a zombie apocalypse situation, but I’m not going to spend the time on it right now.

I am going to link to Rise, by Gareth Wood, an excellent zombie story, currently the length of a short novel and apparently still under construction. Much better than the average NOTLD fan-fic. I’ve been scaring myself with a chapter a day for the better part of a week so far.

No Child Left Behind and Military Recruiting

The CPRC is working on an initiative to counter military recruitment, especially in the schools and in low-income communities. One of the actions in this initiative is going to be helping parents to opt out of the provisions of the No Child Left Behind act that require schools to provide information about students to military recruiters. Some resources I found are here.

General notes

I haven’t blogged much lately, because I’ve been

• Depressed about the election
• Extremely sick (nothing serious, just a nasty sinus infection)

However, I’m over the latter, and starting to get over the former. I’ve got something I’m working on writing, that may make its way out in bits and pieces here first. I hope to be making much more frequent entries, now. I meant to make several today, but I can’t remember exactly what I was going to write on…
