Lower East Side Notebook. Or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love/Hate Whole Foods, New York City, and Everything Else. Part 1: The Thriller Video, Foucault, and Discipline in the New Media. July 29, 2007. Sweating it out in my un-air-conditioned apartment, during an overheated New York summer, I recently received an email from my friend Jo. Of a sort that thousands of people around the world must have been receiving at the same time. She was alerting me to the latest YouTube phenomenon video. My firs...

What…? Hello…? | Lower East Side Notebook
https://jayfisher.wordpress.com/2007/04/28/what-hello
Lower East Side Notebook. Or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love/Hate Whole Foods, New York City, and Everything Else. April 28, 2007. An ad for the Samsung Helio cell phone, prominently displayed across the street from the Whole Foods second story cafeteria windows, on Houston Street, says, “Don’t Call It a Phone.” I find myself thinking: I won’t. Why do we accept this? I once wrote to the editors of GSMArena. One of the more serious web sites for the cell phone geekerati. Contain perhaps one or two...

Lower East Side Notebook. Or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love/Hate Whole Foods, New York City, and Everything Else. Everybody Likes to See a Blonde Fall on Her Face. November 8, 2007. Following the most recent Democratic Primary debate, on MSNBC this past October 30, much of the news. And yet, there remains this curious disjunction between the debate itself and the way it has been generally reported in the media. Why were reporters so eager to latch onto the idea that Hillary had been hurt by ...

Lower East Side Notebook. Or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love/Hate Whole Foods, New York City, and Everything Else. Waiting for Günter Grass. June 29, 2007. If you count it). This is a classic New York event and a classic New York moment. Anything that’s cool is filled up or sold out before you even think of it. I mean, who stops to consider that they need to show up five hours early for a reading? But that’s what it was like. Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim. At the same bookstore. I s...

DIY Kindergarten: Ancient India, Hinduism, and Buddhism (Meet the Ancient World 10)
http://diykindergarten.blogspot.com/2011/02/ancient-india-hinduism-and-buddhism.html
Chronicle of a Homeschool Year Ancient History for the Very Young. Sunday, February 20, 2011. Ancient India, Hinduism, and Buddhism (Meet the Ancient World 10). Our homeschool study of Ancient India was a revelation and a delight for all of us. I knew relatively little about the material and enjoyed my first encounter with The Ramayana. The vivid characters of Hindu mythology lend themselves well to children's exploration through play. My daughter found a lovely little Ganesh figurine in Little India...

DIY Kindergarten: Highlights of the Days
http://diykindergarten.blogspot.com/2010/04/highlights-of-days.html
Chronicle of a Homeschool Year Ancient History for the Very Young. Thursday, April 22, 2010. Highlights of the Days. Let's face it: Homeschooling can be hard. It's exhilirating at times and deeply satisfying overall, but there are days that just suck. When you feel crappy but can't take a sick day. When the kids are squawking or in a fussy funk. When you secretly fantasize about sending them to a rigid uniform school with bars on the windows and police checkpoints at the doors (hey! No, not that either.

Chronicle of a Homeschool Year Ancient History for the Very Young. Monday, April 26, 2010. A Whole New World. A seismic shift has occurred. This past weekend, Andrew and I were working to get our garden prepped for the new season: turning compost, spreading mulch, that sort of thing. Nini and Desmond were inside. They were in different rooms, sitting quietly,. Need I say that we were blown away? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. 1 Learning About the Past. 3 The Earliest People.

DIY Kindergarten: The Old Testament (Meet the Ancient World 6)
http://diykindergarten.blogspot.com/2010/04/old-testament-meet-ancient-world-6.html
Chronicle of a Homeschool Year Ancient History for the Very Young. Wednesday, April 28, 2010. The Old Testament (Meet the Ancient World 6). But there is so much religiously oriented material out there, it was difficult for me to know how to wade through it and find some books or other resources that seemed right. I came up with a few things, but this unit ended up being pretty brief for us (though not as brief or disastrous as our New Testament unit, about which I will write later). Yep, we did it: We we...

DIY Kindergarten: Ancient Greece (Meet the Ancient World 7)
http://diykindergarten.blogspot.com/2011/02/ancient-greece-meet-ancient-world-7.html
Chronicle of a Homeschool Year Ancient History for the Very Young. Thursday, February 17, 2011. Ancient Greece (Meet the Ancient World 7). Introducing my kids to Ancient Greece was one of the highlights of our whole study of the ancient world. To sit, snuggled together with eager children, reading about Theseus and the Minotaur, or Odysseus and the Cyclops? This is the sort of thing one dreams of when one begins homeschooling. And rightly so. Has no one ever thought to make Greek mythology figurines?
