When America is One Giant Ticker Tape — University of Phoenix, Massive On-line Education, the Failure of Democracy
Okay, okay, today es muy interesante, lleno de literatura y periodismo. Full of literature and journalism. Yes, yes, Mister Welfare Man, I am doing job searches to validate myself as a human being. You know, three job applications a week to meet the sequester-fragile unemployment insurance. I do more than three a week, that’s for sure.
Right now, I have been working on a couple of magazine pieces. One on the value of dog parks, tied to my other ex-home base town, Spokane. So, these cool little pieces end up in this slick magazine, but to be sure, as a full-throttle writer, and full-throttle teacher, what I write could end up in Harper’s and who and what I teach, well, if it’s a night class at a community college or some group of prisoners in a federal penitentiary or some over-priced Jesuit college or for some elder continuing-community education program, I take it all seriously and treat all folk as if they are bright, interested, interesting and engaged human beings, young and old.
Check out for now, pages 42-47, a little bit on Apple History. Really, read it here*.
