Steve Dembo (who has a tatoo of John Lennon, btw) gets it right when he asks “Do you feel that ‘buzz’?” on his post about the IL-TCE Conference which started yesterday outside of Chicago. I’ll be heading out there tonight (weather permitting), but I don’t think I can remember a conference with so much bloggy goodness going on:
My, my, my…how far we’ve come.
I’m probably setting myself up for trouble, but this is just too stupid not to take up. Seems the teacher whose sites have been blocked was told that any site that is within three clicks of a porn site will be blocked. Meaning, it seems, that just about the whole Internet should be switched off. I mean how about just TWO clicks? Or ONE? A quick search using link:http://www.playboy.com on AltaVista shows that right off the bat we have to block Wired, News.com, Random House.com, the Cyber Law site at Harvard, CNN, and…you get the point. And that took, like, three minutes.
Imagine three clicks. Oy.
