I’m going to attempt to eat school lunch everyday in 2010. As a teacher it’s available to me for $3.00. Most of the students at my school get free lunch or reduced ($0.40). I’m going to take pictures of the school lunch and post them.

So leave the designing to the designers and browse through some of these fine examples of what not to look for in a logo. Barf bags recommended.

There are some things that we own that are just so sad. You know what we mean. Sad. It seems likely that these sad things illuminate our vulnerable places, one way or another.

The Saddest Thing I Own invites people everywhere to share the saddest thing they own. What are these sad things? What makes things sad? Do things start off sad? Do some sad things begin as happy things that then become sad? Are some things only sad because for some sad reason we kept them? Are some things just plain sad no matter what? This is what we want to know.

For some reason the first thing that came to my mind after seeing this blog was Droopy.

Two Social Justice teachers have decided to start eating on one dollar a day.

And here’s an article about them:

ENCINITAS — “Most of the world eats on less than a dollar a day,” Christopher Greenslate said, spearing single grains of Spanish rice on his fork. “And we thought, why couldn’t we do the same?”

Next to him, Kerri Leonard nodded. “It didn’t start as a big statement — it began as a way to save money,” she said. After a particularly expensive month this summer, they agreed that the magnitude of their food expenditures was ridiculous. Eventually the question arrived: Why not eat on $1 a day? So they did. Starting Sept. 1 and ending Sept. 30, they limited themselves to a $1 a day allowance for food.

For a time, I considered collecting examples of the different labels and somehow displaying them. Unfortunately, the nature of bacon labels (greasy, foul-smelling after awhile, and so forth) was rather discouraging. I thought of just photographing the various labels and collecting them, but somehow never got around to it until digital photography got more popular and less expensive.

And so I invite you to tour the gallery. I expect the display to grow as time goes on, because I rarely am without a camera. Although I’ve personally tasted most of the bacon brands displayed here, there are a few which I’ve simply photographed in the store.

Since my wife has one eye this blog caught my attention.  And with all due respect, WifeGeeding is the best looking one-eyed lady I know.

I find her latest post quite interesting.

Call For Engineers

I am attempting to recreate my eye with the help of a miniature camera implant in my prosthetic / artificial eye. The intraocular installation of an eye-cam will substitute for the field of vision of my left eye that I lost in 2005 from a car accident. While my prosthetic is an excellent aesthetic replacement, I am interested in capitalizing on the current advancement of technology to enhance the abilities of my prosthesis for an augmented reality.

It has a cooling system, great flexiblity and it’s comfortable. I didn’t use ANY glue on this so don’t ask me if I did. I’m not going to sell it to you either so don’t ask that. The lense is two lego space domes with a sheet of black window tint taped to it.

[Thanks, Stephen!]

So here’s the round by round so far. James Dobson of Focus on the Family disses Barack Obama’s theology. Jim Wallis of Sojourners disses Dobson’s theology. Then Will Hall of the of Southern Baptist Press backs Dobson.

Then Obama disses Dobson. “”I think you’ll see that he was just making stuff up, maybe for his own purposes.”

And the Rev. Kirbyjohn Caldwell, an Obama supporter, announces the creation of a website called “James Dobson Doesn’t Speak for Me” that compares statements by Obama and Dobson. (It’s really very good. Direct quotes offered side by side. I recommend the lick, no matter what you POV is on the matter…)

And oh, here’s a good idea: Rabbi Brad Hirschfield decides to critique the back-and-forth in the name of civility. (Rabbi, if I were you, I might have let this particular sectarian scrum pass me by…)

Are we done rasslin’ with this one yet? Here’s the simple truth: Obama and Dobson have very different understandings of Christianity. The “truth” is not going to be settled in this world unless Something Happens.

As a matter of politics and public policy, the only question I really want to see Obama answer on this topic is: How do your religious views inform how you would govern as president? But that’s just me.

Chris Cooley is a tight end for the Washington Redskins who managers his own blog.

He recently linked to my website.  It was just a link to an image on my website, but knowing an actual Redskin did this humorously bothers me for some reason.

At least it wasn’t anyone from the Eagles.
