I've been working on our original website 
We are working on a rather large project on the history of education, the path of learning, and the school systems in the United States. When it is completed, it may end up being a series of several hours, but that will become clearer as we move along. Today, I thought I would post a short demo reel of some of the folks that we have interviewed over the last year. This will give you an idea of where we are going, but please understand that this does not include any of the pieces that show how long it takes to learn “anything”, and it also does not include any of the students that have suffered from Neurogenocide, and it certainly does not include any of the school rooms where neurogenocide is happening, and of course it does not include all the wonderful things that we want to show folks about how education could be done - that would let people grow up excited about learning, and totally engaged in the process of learning.

Yep, my bike came on Friday, and I love it! I really do. Friday night when I came home, it was raining, and Saturday morning it was still wet, but I couldn’t wait. I had to go for a ride, and I’m so glad I did. What a bunch of fun! Finally on Sunday, the sun came out, and it was really sweet. I rode up a couple of big hills in town without any problem. How? Well, it’s an electric assist bike. What that means is that you have a motor that you can use whenever you don’t feel like pedaling, which for me is a lot. But here’s the crazy part - I have found that I actually end up pedaling a bunch more than I would ever do otherwise. Frankly, if I didn’t have the electric assist, I wouldn’t be on a bike at all. Yes, that’s right. I am not a health freak. I don’t try to find extreme sports to do, or actually do much of anything to really keep myself fit. But this bike is so much fun - recumbent so that my butt doesn’t get sore. You can lean back - relax and then here is the crazy part. I find myself pedaling as I’m crusing down the road. Yes, you heard me. I actually use the pedals and actually end up getting exercise. Amazing but true. I know I’m going to do more on this as I go along because this is such appropriate technology.
I got a little light the other day to put into our Straw Bale cabin model. And each night we turn it on and dream about being in Minnesota, snuggled into our little place, living, loving, and generally being blissed out folks. I’ve also been making some furniture so that we can get an idea of how much space there is going to be. Take a peak - it’s pretty fine in there.
