I was talking to my daughter about how anybody could put anything on the Internet. She was surprised by that, and indeed it is kind of incredible. There was nothing like that when I was young: a way for any random person to speak to any other random person. Of course, as I’ve said before, this is both good and bad. A good aspect is the increased ability to communicate, and a bad aspect is the increased ability to filter all your communication through like-minded people.<\/p>\n
Anyhow, my daughter wanted to put something on the Internet, so she is hijacking today blog’s post (though I am doing the typing). This is a song she wrote all by herself. This is sung to the song of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, though it is slightly shorter.<\/p>\n
Twinkle, twinkle, little diamond
\nHow I wonder what you’re made of
\nUp above the world so high
\nIt’s a diamond near the sky
\nMountains they grow very high
\nThey can almost touch the sky<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
