Why Wikipedia is Nigh Inaccessible by New Members
Submitted by caleb on Wed, 06/02/2010 - 09:08
I cannot say why, exactly, but I decided it would be cool to edit Wikipedia pages. For years I’ve heard about user generated content, and how subjective and suspect it is. I’ve seen stories where public figures edit their own Wikipedia pages for a more sympathetic viewpoint, and read about weeks of heated discussion over the size of certain pictures.
Wikipedia has its faults, but I still use it as the go-to search for most information. As a quick reference of aggregated knowledge, it has always worked for me.

The Undersecretary of Education and My Aching Butt
Submitted by caleb on Tue, 06/01/2010 - 09:00
Friday the28th, I attended a graduation ceremony at Merced Community College District, at which Martha Kanter, United States Undersecretary of Education, spoke.
First and foremost, I was surprised she was even in Merced, Ca. The town is, roughly, 80k people who are primarily employed in the agricultural field; 20% of the citizens of Merced County are unemployed.
