We read this Biography today then watched this video. As my spouse said, you can really see where Johnny Depp got some of influence from. We love the music of Queen.

Today Show Talks about College Apps
Times are changing fast and so are the words being used. I currently have two girls in college and none of these keywords in the below video became an issue for us, but maybe they will as my girls proceed towards their higher college degrees. So I'm posting this video for those of you who may actually come across these keywords and would like to know what they mean for your future college student. Enjoy!

Happy Halloween!
Welcome to the new face of my blog!! I hope you like it. Soon I will get all the links up and working making all the great links I've come across quick and easy to access.
If I had to pick any one site as the most amazing one I've ever stumbled on, I'd have to say Dwarf Fortress is the best.
I came across this site about four years ago and showed it to my son. Now, as he approaches 12yo, he is still totally engrossed in delving deeply into this game. Some days he can be found reading the Wiki information learning how to program his own personally designed characters. Some days he is programming our old computer to work out his ideas before he loads them into a particular saved game. Sometimes, he can be heard giggling up a storm at the way his latest fortress plays out.
I never imagined that a game which proudly states as it's motto "losing is fun!" would have such a long lasting and deep ability to intrigue my son so well.
Have a wonderful Fall Holiday Season Everyone! Please feel free to let me know how you like my new site and be sure to come back and visit!

American Math Challenge
I flipped on the TV this morning and this really cool clip was playing on the morning news. It was so interesting that I just had to share it with my friends. Scott makes a point of stating that the current way math is taught, forces kids to use their memory part of their brain instead of the human calculator part. He is able to do the math he does because he has turned on this calculator instead of relying on memory. Every one can do this. Visit the American Math Challenge for more details about learning this 'missing chapter' and also, the Math Challenge that is going on.
