I’m sure you’ve all heard about Project Gutenberg. I love the idea that so many public domain books are online for everyone.
This week I was pointed to another resource I think worth mention: the World Wide School’s Library. Check it out, find some free reading, enjoy.

Here on World AIDS Day I find myself thinking about nasty diseases. Today my students talked about AIDS, and SARS. As my day is concluding, while thinking of an HIV infected friend and where he is at today, I am also thinking of folks I know living with Hepatitis C.
It’s a […]

This neat comic comes from StudioFoglio.com. Girl Genius volume one focuses on Agatha Clay, student and lab assistant at Transylvanio Polygnostic University. Needless to say, it’s a lot of fun, and great artwork.
Leaves me tempted to order from the StudioFoglio folks.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution posted this interesting article on the frustrations of the new Medicare bill. While her approach and phrasing is a little too flamish for my tastes, she makes an excellent point at the end. The bill does not suit the needs of the elderly, rather fits the pharmaceutical companies’ purses. […]

China Water Forum
I am cphosting this forum with a scholar on China’s water issues. This is the kind of stuff I researched all through college, and it’s fascinating stuff. If you’re interested in this kind of thing, it may be worth checking out.

This is another Mon, Wed, Fri comic. I love Paul Taylor’s style. It’s good stuff and he’s great with expressions. What I really like about this strip is that it was my Saturday night, left out at the end of the table.

I love this editorial strip. It’s out Monday Wednesday Friday, and it’s got a great edge and actually gives you clues to back up what JJ McCullough is talking about.

I’ve had another idea for an article on China based on this observation today. Again, thoughts are very warmly welcome.
China has definitely been invaded by English, and may be the fastest growing English speaking population in the world. It’s becoming more difficult to learn the Chinese language here in China without running into […]
