Kristen’s posts about Kenya made me cry, think, pray, and brainstorm more ways that I might be able to play a small part in changing the world.

I disagree with the author of the post about keeping laptops out of the classroom. Perhaps I’ll write a rebuttal somewhere, someday.

To Chris Brogan: I love blogging too. For the community. The relationships. The opportunities. The chance to write and publish and share. So many other things…

I know from being at conferences with my laptop open how distracted I get, and I WANT to be there, learning that info, lol. I can only imagine a child in a college class. Can’t be a good idea.

Interesting take on the computer in the classroom. I can totally see the college age group multi-tasking, my DS is a college Sr. and so tethered to his laptop. I suspected they were not just “taking notes” on them while in class.

Thank you for the link! And for the free trade java information as well – interesting about the sumatra.

Read Kristen’s post and the post about Loving blogging. Kristen’s word’s made me think. I follow her on twitter but I haven’t been reading blogs much lately. I will have to go back and read her compassion posts. The blogging post was excellent.
Thanks for sharing.

Karen, thanks for the link. I’ll check it out. I have been interested in the fair trade certification but I haven’t taken the time to really research it.

Hi Jo-Lynne, I just wanted to say that I’ve been following your blog for some time now, and I love it. I’m a single girl who is getting into the whole foods thing (only several years after my “hippie” brother tried repeatedly to get me interested in that exact thing- he gave me The Omnivore’s Dilemma two Christmases in a row). I hope that by the time I have a family, I will have some of this stuff down pat so that I’m not trying to learn how to soak grains in between my kids’ soccer games. I hope.

Anyway, I apologize in advance for being an econ nerd, but I wanted to point out that there’s a little more to the fair trade arguments than usually meets the eye. Here is just a snippet of information about it: http://divisionoflabour.com/archives/003460.php I know that this is probably not where your interests lie, but it’s worth noting that much like the word ‘organic’ can be misleading, ‘free trade’ should not be an automatic signal that something is of higher quality, better for us, etc.

Anyway, thanks for your blog and all the great info on everything from raw milk to platform sandals.

Really interesting about keeping the computers OUT of classrooms, I’ve never thought of that as a bad thing, but honestly I’ve never really thought of it. Off to check that one out now!

And thanks for linking up, I’m humbled – really!!
