Dreaded Purple Master: Your mother should know
http://dpm.blogspot.com/2012/02/your-mother-should-know.html
I think, therefore.I think some more. Saturday, February 18, 2012. Your mother should know. Who Is Paul McCartney? Apparently Twitter had a surge of live-tweeters during the Grammy awards who had no idea who this "legend" was supposed to be. I guess they didn't stick around for the end of the show. I'm trying to imagine how my generation would have reacted in 1972 (that's the year that Carole King, Tapestry. And "You've Got a Friend" owned the show) if the Grammys had trotted out Frederick Loewe. Dancer ...

Dreaded Purple Master: August 2011
http://dpm.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
I think, therefore.I think some more. Monday, August 22, 2011. It's not all about peaches here, you know. Deal unveils new Georgia license plate WLTZ 38. Georgia's new license plate is . busy Creative Loafing. At least it doesn't have a URL and QR code on it. Although, now I think of it, a QR code would at least be functional. Passing police wouldn't have to actually type in your plate number to do a quick license check, they could just wave their smart phones at it. But my objection was that all. We use...

Dreaded Purple Master: Shrinking the "digital divide"
http://dpm.blogspot.com/2011/08/shrinking-digital-divide.html
I think, therefore.I think some more. Monday, August 15, 2011. Shrinking the "digital divide". Low-income families get access to cheaper Internet ajc.com. Today at a morning press conference, Comcast executives along with Mayor Kasim Reed, Gov. Nathan Deal and other area leaders will announce the program, which will be offered to families of students who qualify for free school lunch. Isn't this an implicit admission that you're overcharging the rest of us? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Remote-Cont...

Dreaded Purple Master: July 2011
http://dpm.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
I think, therefore.I think some more. Wednesday, July 13, 2011. Wow, what a busy month it's been. And thank goodness the AJC has been paying more attention than I have. I was pretty well convinced nothing of any consequence would happen over the summer. I could not have been more wrong. To pass it in order to advance to the next level at key grades, it is also used to allocate resources for additional help for students and schools in need. It's no secret to anyone within. So what's been going on? God hel...

Dreaded Purple Master: We did it once...
http://dpm.blogspot.com/2011/08/we-did-it-once.html
I think, therefore.I think some more. Saturday, August 13, 2011. We did it once. Pimp our highway, please Opinion Creative Loafing Atlanta. I'm astounded that at the same time we face the imminent catastrophic failure of a regional transit proposal. Central Atlanta Progress and the Midtown Alliance are talking about, not functional improvements, but redecorating. We did it once. Underground Atlanta is only part of. I underestimated the intensity with which the doughnut hates the hole. George F. Will.

Dreaded Purple Master: May 2011
http://dpm.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
I think, therefore.I think some more. Monday, May 30, 2011. OK, you win". APS board chair agrees to step down ajc.com. Atlanta school board Chairman Khaatim Sherrer El agreed Monday to step down from leadership. El and other members sought assurances that the move would unify the board and assure city leaders of its intent to win favor with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), which put the district on probation. Problem, but the only. Oh, and while we're at it:. Say it would be "surp...

Dreaded Purple Master: February 2011
http://dpm.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
I think, therefore.I think some more. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. APS court-ordered to blink. Atlanta school system calls off its investigation ajc.com. State investigators have won their fight with Atlanta Public Schools over whether the district should halt its inquiry into inflammatory comments by a high-ranking school official. So does that mean she goes back to SRT-4 (supervising principals), or she stays relocated to non-supervisory capacity in the "English as a Second Language" unit, or what?

Dreaded Purple Master: March 2011
http://dpm.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
I think, therefore.I think some more. Monday, March 28, 2011. More universities haggling with high schools over trademarks. High schools that share logos with universities may soon find themselves shopping for new mascots. Florida State, which last week reached a settlement with the Rockdale County Board of Education prohibiting Salem High and Memorial Middle from using the Seminoles logo, isn't the only university aggressively protecting its trademark. I should have known better. Co-opting someone else'...

Dreaded Purple Master: There goes the neighborhood -- slowly
http://dpm.blogspot.com/2011/11/there-goes-neighborhood-slowly.html
I think, therefore.I think some more. Sunday, November 20, 2011. There goes the neighborhood - slowly. For instance, after many years of neglect and nominal attempts to attract attention to it, that 1965-futuristic C&S Bank. Reached the point of no return and was demolished in August. But then there's the QuikTrip that ain't. And now Papa John's. And Papa John's isn't interested in an alternate plan. This is why we can't have nice things. I love trees, but I hate empty buildings more than I love tree...
