A tempest in a teapot, a storm in a teacup, a squall in a teaspoon

I wonder when I forgot that this eduspeak thing with ict is all a game?

The Mistress of the Template will be amused … she has always complained about my nihilism

Perhaps my enthusiasm for joining grandpa’s lala_laden conversations, means I have unconsciously lowered my delusional beliefs’ firewall. 

Perhaps that schizophrenic head hammering on Queens Birthday Monday has put a hairline fracture in my vat of flippancy, allowing lightness and levity to leach out.

Whatever the cause, cj is right,

"Why on earth would one bother to survey the silliness that passes for using computing and related technologies in schools?

This new found Artichokean “belligerence in a beer bottle” must be quashed, I’ve got to crank up the cynicism pump – I am at risk of believing in something that doesn’t exist. 

I need rescuing from the pervasive, the ubiquitous, the egregious (e)learning cult before any significant damage is done –

I know it is technocentric to do this – is symptomatic of my (e) contamination - but I blame technology for my drift into Modern Stupid

Modern Stupid

It’s much easier
To be stupid these days
Than in previous times.

Back in the old days
They had to do it all by hand.
It was sheer drudgery.

Now we can do it faster
And with more comfort,
Thanks to modern methods.

You can fit it into a busy life,
It’s available to everyone,
It’s right at your fingertips.
