Welcome to Idiot.com

I worry that, especially as the Millennium edges nearer, pseudoscience and superstition will seem year by year more tempting, the siren song of unreason more sonorous and attractive. Where have we heard it before? Whenever our ethnic or national prejudices are aroused, in times of scarcity, during challenges to national self-esteem or nerve, when we agonize about our diminished cosmic place and purpose, or when fanaticism is bubbling up around us - then, habits of thought familiar from ages past reach for the controls.

I update occasionally, but would like to do more. Until then, be patient.

I'm a firm believer in education. Unfortunately many parents think school and schooling is really day-care. We learn everyday. Keep learning. I hope to add more educational items and move away from just plain idiot reporting.And what is your opinion on Common Core? I'm mixed and the jury is still out.

I attempted the online computer science course, CS50. Work took over, so I never finished this course, though it was interesting. Most of the work wasdone in C, so that was new to me. I'm not a coder. I am currently working at my own pace on Codeacademy. The current course is Python. I'm actually enjoying it.I'm dabbling in all the other online sites, too. Scratch is pretty fun for the beginner. I also plan to do more with my Pi 2, thus the Python coding.

I hate politicians. Especially those in CA. Whatever happened to common sense and liberty and freedom?

I am get many requests for my domain. The answer is NO, it is not for sale!!!! (Unless you have VERY DEEP pockets.)

Things I believe in:

Opinions are my own. I will reference some websites and sources that I find interesting and educational.Stay tuned for more, someday.
