    Worldview examines the Iranian election | Chicago Public Radio Blog

    June 18, 2009 - By ginny

    Listen to @WBEZ Worldview for discussion on Iran and Twitter, they quote an Iranian via IM who dared not call in via cell phone. Worldview examines the Iranian election | Chicago Public Radio Blog Coming up at noon Worldview is doing a show on the Iranian election. Of course you should listen closely to what Jerome and his guests have to say, but Twitter has played such a huge part in this story that you probably ought to check out what’s being discussed there. I heard this at lunch and it was worth a listen. Visit the page for many…

    Air Force One From ORD

    June 15, 2009 - By ginny

    I think this is Air Force One, we’re on the O’Hare outbound flight path today, the timing was right for after the end of Pres. Obama’s AMA speech today, the livery was very light, was a 747… and several flights before and after all turned to the north, but this big bad boy came staight and true, right over my office. My co-workers had seen it from the eleventh floor and had all been looking at it, too. Ginny I can has iPhone?

    Fish Flingers vs. PETA

    June 13, 2009 - By ginny

    When I lived in Seattle, it was always fun to go down to Pike Place and watch tourists dodge flying salmon. The one guy that called out instructions like an air-traffic controller had a voice like ball bearings in a bucket. At work a few years ago, we threw plushy fish around after a team leader got ahold of the FiSH! corporate morale-boosting book. That whole idea of “play at work, work becomes play, be totally in the moment with your customer and throw a fish at them accurately” went away after that particular team leader or VP moved on.…

    Holocaust Museum Shooting Suspect Had History of Hate, Signs of Breaking Point – washingtonpost.com De Nugent called von Brunn a genius but described the shooting as the act of “a loner and a hothead.” “The responsible white separatist community condemns this,” he said. “It makes us look bad.”

  • Insurance season is almost over, thank Dog

    Avoid health sharing plans, they're not that great a deal. A friend had one while getting some pretty serious treatment, and he struggled to get the care he needed.

    Elisabeth Yoder and her son Darragh recently experienced a huge gap in their health care "coverage." They stand in  front of the family home, and they belong to a Christian "health sharing" plan that didn't reimburse for a recent ambulance ride.

  • Charm Patch Quilt: On Point

    From Sew Can She - this looks like a great way to use up charm squares and scraps that can be at least 4 1/2-5 inches square. The contrast fabric and on-point arrangement add good visual interest without being too busy.

  • Tea Towel Hems

    Bought some tea towels for gifts, looking for tutorials for adding colorful hanging cuffs after hemming.

    I lean toward Method 1, mitred corners. Will decide once the towels arrive in case the selvage edges are good quality.

  • Sorry About The Mess: Trump Wrecking World Economy

    Post: He’s nuts if he thinks manufacturers will move to the US; they like paying rock bottom non-union wages and they’ll pass the higher costs to American consumers. Lose-lose! What can possibly go wrong?

    Since he lives in his own bubble universe, I’m wondering how long his big donors, the few relatively sane conservatives in Congress, and his “IKEA cabinet” will hold out until the murmurs behind the scenes become screaming fights in the Oval Office.

    Spine of steel? Nope. Skull of rock.

    Maury Povich lie detector meme: It says here… Trump is as dumb as a box of rocks.

    Global economy rocked again as rates on imports to the US from dozens of trading partners rose further, with China hit by 104% tariffs

  • Now Listening: Joni Mitchell | Black Crow

    Joni Mitchell album cover Black Crow. A woman is superimposed over an empty road that leads into her silhouette.

    Text:

     

    ”Black Crow - There's a crow flying Black and ragged Tree to tree He's black as the highway that's leading me Now he's diving down To pick up on something shiny I feel like that black crow Flying In a blue sky I took the ferry to the highway Then I drove to a pontoon plane I took a plane to a taxi And a taxi to a train I've been traveling so long How'm I ever gonna know my home When I see it again I'm like a black crow flying In a blue blue sky In search of love and music My whole life has been Illumination Corruption And diving diving diving diving Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing Just like that black crow flying In a blue sky I looked at the morning After being up all night I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light I looked out the window And I I saw that ragged soul take flight I saw a back crow flying In a blue sky Oh I'm like a black crow flying In a blue sky”
