Memorial Day Rememberances

In Flanders Field

"In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

- Lt Col John McCrae

College - My how things have changed!

Tue, 30 Jan 2007 11:36:00 -0500

So... while watching television last night, I saw a commercial that I chalked up to some kind of bad joke. However, today I read on TechDirt that it was NOT!

TechDirt points back to the original BBC News article Entitled: Viral e-mails taught in college. SO NOW WE ARE TEACHING COLLEGE STUDENTS HOW TO DESIGN BETTER SPAM!!!???!!!

We used to laugh and poke fun at college classes - things like Underwater Basketweaving 101, etc. But NOW??? I would be sorely tempted to lodge the biggest campus protest known to mankind on ANY college campus that thinks about launching a course of this nature. How can any college run a course that would, in turn, aid in legitimizing SPAM as some kind of ART FORM???!!! GAH!!!
