Reading stuff online when I should be working



(I wrote this earlier when blogger was down. Now I really am working.)



Here's an article about religious interpretations of the movie Groundhog Day. My dad hates this movie, but I've always kind of liked it.



This article article portrays Howard Dean's campaign team as a bunch of young, likable geeks.



And here's one about kids who go to high school online. I watched a bunch of Degrassi episodes this weekend (it was work-related, I swear) and they reminded me how much high school sucks. If online school had been an option for me, I probably would've picked it, but at the same time, it sounds kind of lonely.



One more: a story from Yahoo news about how Bush wants to revive the space program and have another moon mission. I love the idea of space travel, but this just seems like a pitiful attempt at distracting the American public. It's like he's this bad little kid who made a big war-shaped mess and now he's shouting, "HEY! Look at the MOON! Let's go there!" so we'll look the other way for a while.
