OK, I just have to say that the Vosges bacon chocolate is really really good. Seriously. Salty-sweet YUM. In the way that fleur-de-sel chocolate caramels are also unexpectedly good (not to mention balsamic vinegar truffles, olive oil truffles, and Douglas fir truffles... specialties of my local gourmet chocolatier, SOMA). I think chocolate intrinsically lends itself to unexpected adaptability. Maybe bacon does too? Or at least people seem to think it does. Anyway, the explanation for why she decided to combine them (chocolate chip pancakes with bacon are a good idea -- just get rid of the pancake part), actually makes lots of non-bacon-mania sense.
Annnnd... back. Only the Comedy Central intro clip works. :P So... still would love the info.
Nevermind -- your video link above wasn't working before, but is now. :)
Hi, Clay,
For those of us in Canada who don't have access to US feed, which episode is it, and which segment, so we can find it on Canadian feed?
Thanks!
Never mind - just got a reply email and will send them a message. But I'm hoping people haven't already been deterred.
I signed the petition, changing references specific to the US to "democracy" and "democratic nations," etc.
However, when it came time to submit, even though I was offered the option to choose a Canadian province, it would not accept my Canadian postal code in the required field.
So I fudged it, but is there a way to notify the page administrators of this glitch? It's likely to turn away the less tech-savvy / less persistent.
Loved this when a colleague showed it to me last week. Then I showed it to my AP students. Wonder how many will take the message to heart. :)
A post by another edublogger I follow, Carla Beard, has some interesting insights on how the creation of textbooks is dominated by the wrong kinds of forces that you might be interested in.
Mark, as a person who thought, "That's so damned cool that he had his kids do a critique of the videos (instead of just taking them at face value and ending there) AND that they got a response from other kids about it," let me add that it's so damned cool that you got the response from Annie Leonard and that your kids had the benefit of having a real-world audience (both peer and authoritative) for their real-world questions.
