On Thursday and Friday morning, March 15th and 16th, in Damascus, there were large demonstrations against the Assad regime in "Ramala" quarter. I think, along with Cindy, in New York, that the resistance to Assad will ultimately succeed. The rank and file soldiers will refuse to fire on their own people. The lesson is that the capitalists place a lot of traps on the workers movement these days, like the lockouts in the US. But working people make some resistance, nonetheless.
Also...here at the University of Michigan, Google Apps for Education is in full swing. Someone should recount the experience of the University of Michigan in computers, starting with the old Basic programs taught by Physics Professors to Urban Planning clesses, to the statistics homework done on main-frames with cards, to hypercard sites, to the mac plusses, and the mac SE 7.5s. One could include the Turtle Graphics programs which were taught in schools and formed the basis of the knowledge that the designers of the early computers like steve Jobs and Bill Gates worked on.
