Like something hasn't *clicked*, yet. It feels like you're running in place. The Year That Was Tom Scocca, Managing Editor of Deadspin, Slate Columnist, and Author of Beijing Welcomes You In this chain-reaction year—disaster, war, revolution, and death chasing one another around the globe—the pepper-spray assault at Cal-Davis was nowhere near the biggest event. Instead, it was small enough to be intelligible. This was an American college campus where a thug cop, in doomsday black armor, hosed down a row of seated students with a chemical weapon. Unlike the raging NYPD commander who’d lunged to spray helpless protesters, UC Davis police Lt. John Pike was blandly methodical.

The author, Marvin Van Horne, originally created this instructional series from his love of language and the real world needs of his students. Once created, he quickly realized the series could not only benefit his students but anyone interested in improving his or her knowledge of the English language. Over his thirty-six year career, Marvin developed a teaching method that allowed students to learn language concepts and experience the language at the same time. Using this method, students were encouraged to repeat each lesson as many times as necessary until they scored 80% or better. This repetitive technique lead to dramatic improvements in a student's ability to learn and retain the concepts.

This site may list the some pods--but not all: And here is a static list of pods: by electronics Oct 23
Diaspora is run by using pods. This pod is a rare example of a pod run Diaspora--the makers of Diaspora. You can run your own pod also--and this is the normal way of using this system. The other usual way of using Diaspora is to join someone else’s pod. Pods produce a degree of privacy as the pod-networks are independent of each other and currently do not necessarily show up on search engine results. Anyone seems to be able to join your pod, but they have to find it first. Diaspora looks like it has also got a invite only system so this would mean that you could create a pod for your family and friends only for example. Diaspora might also be good for running a club--such as a sport, gamer or RPG club for example. With Diaspora, I would have a private pod for the club and a public pod as a marketing tool to promote the club. by electronics Oct 22
Agreed. Really hoping it doesn't fizzle out. Also hoping people don't see it as yet another social site and see it instead as an alternative site to replace FB eventually. But people are lazy and stupid as a general rule :) We'll see... by the_third_man Dec 5
Ya, I'm excited I just don't know many real life people who would switch since all of their freinds are on FB and they think its a hassle to change over. by sinquanon Dec 4
Kick ass beginning to a seriously private social networking site. Read: alternative to facebook. Promises to scrape facebook contacts, which should be cool. Can't wait for beta. by the_third_man Dec 4
