Fun stuff going on.

Tonight I set up a Facebook page for Two Kid Schoolhouse.  There's nothing there yet, and I am not sure what I'm doing, but hey, you could come check it out.

My next project is to get that big "F" Facebook button for the sidebar.  But I have a few other things to do tonight that might be more important, like taking care of my family and reading a book I've been asked to review.  (More on that later, but, wow, I was asked to review a book!)

This is all part of my effort to keep learning and not be a clueless middle-aged internet dinosaur.  (Back in my day, we just had newsgroups!  And we were happy to have them!).  Yeah, I know - too late.

Blogging may not be for the faint of heart.

Apropos of some recent bloggy reading, I just feel like pointing out that blogging is a public event. Unless a blog is password-protected and open only to invited guests, anyone can read it. Unless comments are closed, anyone can comment.

So, if someone posts something controversial, they should not be surprised to get comments on it, maybe even negative ones. It's not nice to go to someone's blog and blast their opinions, of course, but if a blog post is insulting to a group of people, it might not be surprising if a comment is insulting right back.

Though I try hard not to be condescending and insulting here, sometimes I do slip. I think I have called the American public education system a "hellhole" once or twice. Or maybe that was on someone else's blog; I don't remember. That doesn't mean I dislike everyone who sends their kids to public school. I might have said some nasty things about some corporations too. I wouldn't get upset if someone found those posts and was nasty right back at me.

It's a dangerous world out here. Play nice. Or, be prepared for the consequences.
