I’m a big fan of the Colbert report… don’t forget to check out the video at Boing^2
Stephen Colbert kicks ass at White House press corps dinner”

Colbert, who spoke in the guise of his talk show character, who ostensibly supports the president strongly, urged the Bush to ignore his low approval ratings, saying they were based on reality, “and reality has a well-known liberal bias.”

He attacked those in the press who claim that the shake-up at the White House was merely re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. “This administration is soaring, not sinking,” he said. “They are re-arranging the deck chairs–on the Hindenburg.”

Colbert told Bush he could end the problem of protests by retired generals by refusing to let them retire. He compared Bush to Rocky Balboa in the “Rocky” movies, always getting punched in the face–”and Apollo Creed is everything else in the world.”

Podcast: Diapers to Digital

This is a 30 minute podcast that I created today while walking to work from Bathurst and College down through chinatown to Ryerson University. In it, I talk about how one might look at technology as it relates to teaching and learning; early learning in this instance, but learning in general. I do talk about some of the things I'll be doing in my class, which starts today, but it is rather generic. It might be fun to listen to just for the ambient noises. Or perhaps not.

If you've not subscribed to the RSS for this site you may not see the podcast except by clicking on this link: http://lemmingworks.org/podcasts/DiapertoDigital.mp3.
