Posting Photos Online Requires a Mad Scientist Flowchart | Lifestream Blog.
This article is a couple of months old now, but I just stumbled across it this week … as I struggle to figure out how to balance personal/professional online presence for myself and also figure out how to put up content for our Girl Scout site keeping it both secure and easily accessible to families, this chart really resonated with me!

“Greys Anatomy” Fans To Get an Interactive Viewing Experience on iPad.
Okay, I love my iPad, and I still like Grey’s Anatomy, but not sure about all this… overkill? Don’t know … probably the wave of the future though. We generally watch everything except live sports via Tivo after the kids are down, and not always even on the night they’ve aired. So the social features would likely be wasted on us, since what are the odds someone else will be watching at the same time? But the additional interactive elements seems interesting … I’d particularly like a way to browse the music, as they often have songs I like on the show, and it can be hard to track them down later.

So, just so we’re clear … my child took a test, upon which her entire future is based (her scores this year, the first time she ever took the test, determine where she gets to go to middle school, which determines where she goes to high school, and so on), and no one knows how to score the damn thing?!! How do you make a test without developing the standards for it?!! So basically they’re meeting later this month to “decide” how to score the test … when they will have the results right in front of them!!!
Favorite quote … our illustrious State Education Commissioner Tim Webb on the new scores … “For the first time in many, many years, we in Tennessee are being honest, truly honest with our students and our families,” Webb added, stressing the scores don’t indicate a “loss in knowledge.”
So we’ve been lied to for years with the test scores, but THIS TIME, they’re going to tell us the truth. Only, they’re not sure what the truth is, or how to find it. Are you f%#@*^! kidding me?!! No, they’re not, that’s the problem.
