Teenagers and embarrasing ailments

I thought that might generate interest!

Health care in Spain will now extend to offering a service for teenagers in Second Life. They are able to use an anonymous service to discuss health issues.

"This is a way to talk about their doubts about taking drugs or sexual relations which they cannot do in a traditional consultation."

Check out the Guardian story, hat-tip to JW for spotting it.

Quick post - already Twittered this

A view of what OU study means to a particular student - http://is.gd/dcg.

BTW

It's now possible to rate OpenLearn units and the SLN project is reaching its end. If anyone found "Working Online" useful or interesting or that it cleaned whiter than white and got all the stains out please hit the link and rate the unit. You know it makes sense :-)

Revolting

The citizens of Blunogville have once again become uppity. If time allows please click on the link to visit this peaceful idyll and do it daily :-)

"...to encourage people to holiday in Britain"???

RIP Humph

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Jazz legend Lyttelton dies at 86

Hump has gone. For those who aren't familiar with his work he was a jazz trumpeter and he chaired a comedy programme on radio from 1972 to his death. The programme, "I'm sorry I haven't a clue", was very simple and very funny and famously the home of "Mornington Crescent".

If you've not heard it try and find a way to listen to the edition being broadcast at 12:00 (BST) on Sunday, 27/04

Baaa!

Flickr have improved their service so that sheep coverage can be enhanced. This video was taken outside my house.

nooooooo!

Laptop has died. I've rushed it over to a blokey in Ashford but it's not looking good. Being rubbish at these things I've not got a backup and I can only hope that the data on the disk is still readable as it has photos of the children which I can't replace as well as work and OU work. Totally not happy about this :-(

Before the off

I took this and sent it just before we went in to the degree ceremony. Martin Smith is the the red and yellow chatting with Heather McLannahan while Jenny Lynden looks on.

Why Bradford?

Just to explain why I was in Bradford. It was a NIACE conference on offender learning, specifically eLearning policy. Fascinating stuff including an interesting presentation from the Head of Learning and Skills at HMP Wormwood Scrubs and it was great to meet Cos Michael from the Prisoners Education Trust.

Love this web site (image is the link) - hat tip to Tony Hirst for flagging it up on Twitter. Check it out and you'll see that he is an honorary citizen!

Bradford

I took this from the bedroom. This big patch of building site is in the middle of Bradford. It's going to have 100 shops, offices, apartments and a multi-storey car park. Bold plan for a bold city! I had a walk last night and it's a lovely place - and great curry too.
