Grandma Geek – Learning to Love Tech after 50

Copyright (c) 2009 Mary LloydI've always believed in computers—if my kids were going to use them. I started buying them for my boys when my older son was 12—in 1981. But my personal commitment to computers is far more recent.When I HAD to use them, I did. Batch cards on the mainframe at the university where I did my doctoral work.

Jesus Christ and Other Hitchhikers

Having hitchhiked many thousands of miles when I was younger, I feel for hitchhikers trying to thumb a ride these days. At least back in my hitchhiking days people still regularly stopped for you.

True, there are important, new developments, which Rose Ann DeMoro of the California Nurses Association does a very good job of explaining. Some of these measures were part of Obama’s electoral manifesto during the 2008 campaign.Still, the conceiving of a tax-financed single-payer system, let alone a “
