Creative Aspen Housing
FLORENCE WILLIAMS writes about those who have learned to live on the cheap amongst some of the world’s most expensive real estate. (I like the yurt….)
Richard Clarke in the news
Former White House Security Czar Richard Clarke was evidently on 60 minutes Sunday recently talking about terrorism & politics (he also has a new book on the way…). Interestingly, Clarke was part of a federal government effort to cozy up to convicted monopolist microsoft regarding an initiative to “bifurcate” the internet..
I believe we must decide to bifurcate cyberspace into the current area of anonymity on one side and a secure zone for critical infrastructure on the other
Recall also that the Department of Homeland Security chose Microsoft as it’s exclusive supplier of desktop and server software. (DHS chooses the least secure product…)

Grandparent Greeters
Kathy Walsh Nufer writes about Hilbert High School’s Grandparents Greeters Day:
Meet Rita Mathes and Jeanne Gast, who stationed themselves in the high school?s front hall on St. Patrick?s Day with a giant box of cookies.
?Top of the mornin? to you, help yourself,? Mathes wished students going her way.
?You, too, as soon as I can see,? responded a bleary-eyed boy as he shuffled in, fresh from the shower.
?They?re so polite,? said Gast, taking pride in their manners as if all the students were her own. This grandparent of 23 knows most kids in town. ?We grew them up from pups, most of ?em,? she said.
Very nice high school web site, btw, including panoramic Quicktime VR Tours…
