lessons learned

Lesson Learned During Spring Break #1: I’m still waiting on my techno-utopia. Wireless internet access, while now readily available, doesn’t help much when trying to post through a recalcitrant Blogger. And there’s little that is more frustrating then writing up a long post on a thumbnail-sized PDA screen and then having the entire thing disappear into the void when Blogger crashes.

Lesson Learned During Spring Break #2: I still have my non-technological musical utopia. If only something could be done about the traffic, South by Southwest week in Austin would showcase a perfect world. Music everywhere, all kinds, all day long. Cosmopolitan liberal internationalism in Texas: sitting in an Irish pub on St. Patrick’s Day next to a band from Iceland. Bumper stickers, signs and sidewalk rants expressing non-wingnut opinions. If only something could be done about the traffic.

Lesson Learned During Spring Break #3: Judging from the attendance at the International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, New Mexico, many citizens are willing to entertain the notion that the government has participated in a Big Lie for fifty years. Question: Why are so many of those same citizens afraid to face the actual reality that the Emperor W is without a doubt lying to them about everything?
