WARSAW, Poland – Hundreds of Polish school kids are getting a leg up with free rubber boots as they face months next to a muddy construction site.
Officials in the town of Jarocin gave 1,000 pairs of free made-to-fit boots to children and teachers whose school is set in an area where new underground water and sewage pipes are being installed.
Perhaps we should issue some boots for those Canadians living near the House of Commons as well…
Yes, it does feel like this somedays.

Cheeky news of the week : Thanks CBC.
MEXICO CITY – A mayor in central Mexico says he has fired one of his town officials for spray-painting the buttocks of a teenage boy as punishment for graffiti tagging.
The mayor of San Juan del Rio in Queretaro state says police caught the 13-year-old tagging a wall last week and turned him over to the official. The official’s job is to impose penalties for petty crime.
This just cracks me up.
I have found, through my travels, that many people cannot understand Christians, Muslims, Jews, or any religious people at all. I confess, initially, I could not comprehend how anyone could belong to any faith either. After much study, I think I’ve come up with some answers and I put them all in this diagram. I hope it helps.

The Science and technology section has saved me many times when I begin to run dry for blogging ideas. Yet once again the CBC rides to the rescue.
“The website, PleaseRobMe.com, was created in just four hours and is based on publicly posted Twitter messages, according to its founders. The site pulls in Twitter feeds that feature FourSquare, an online game where people mention their current location.
Boy Van Amstel, one of the site’s Dutch developers, said he and two friends set up PleaseRobMe to illustrate just how foolish some people are with the amount of personal information they share online.”
I felt kinda silly when I asked my partner to remove my picture off of a photo sharing site because of my concerns about internet privacy. I value my privacy a great deal and being searchable just seemed like a bad idea to me. But as the article says, with a program hacked together in 4 hours, people can find out if you are home or not, if you put too much personal information on the web (in this case via twitter).
I just googled my name and remain, at least to the casual search, anonymous. Thank heavens.
I do not think I am being unreasonable in my question for anonymity when it comes to the internet. My quotidian nature and lack of desire to be in the public eye contribute to my unremarkable presence here on the web.
Is it just me? Am I being unreasonable? Tell me what you think of online privacy and how you deal with the interwebs.
