Personal

Some people think that Bill Gates looks like me.

Orkut

I've been playing around on orkut, the social web web site. So far, I have three friends, all of whom I've known since high school in the late 1970s. Those three guys connect me to about 10000 people.

Today, I created an orkut community for graduates of Bethlehem Central High School because I'm curious about how connected my classmates are.

Apparently, I am Easy Rider

I took one of those silly personality inventory tests. It said that if I were a movie, I would be Easy Rider.

A bunch of my friends took it. They told me that they got different results depending on the length of the test. There are versions from 9 to 45 questions long.

While looking up Easy Rider, I discovered that Dennis Hopper directed it. I had no idea. I think I knew that he wrote it with Peter Fonda.

Mr. Wellington's Home Page

My Uncle Fred teaches at an elementary school in suburban Philadelphia. He is on a special assignment as the K-8 Technology Staff Developer. His home page contains links to a lot of educationals stuff for kids and teachers.

Uncle Fred has been an elementary school teacher since the 1970s. He never does anything half-way. His collection of links ought to document "best practices" in education (if you'll pardon my using a buzz word).

Side note: I found a link to an interesting best practices web site that "contains solutions over 1600 proven solutions from more than 140 countries to the common social, economic and environmental problems of an urbanizing world."

Beachcombers

Some of my family is vacationing on Maui, Hawaii. My parents, my sister Sue, Uncle Fred, Aunt Barbara, and Aunt Jane have been there for the better part of two weeks. They say the weather is perfect.

Most surprising tidbit so far: Mom claims that groceries are expensive there and that it's nearly the same price to eat out.
