One to Watch - a performance artist

I thought I had posted about this before but I can't find it. This is a post from Michelle Krill in her Finding Common Ground blog. She has a Youtube video embedded there that I think you should watch.This is a young performance artist in her school who does a wonderful piece for Martin Luther King, Jr's birthday celebration. This is one talented young lady. How nice it is that she was not only capable of doing this, but that she was given the opportunity to do it.I heard another story recently of a class that was studying a novel together. They had to come up with some sort of project. I forget the details of the assignment. One boy brought in his clarinet. He had written some original music that he thought fit the characters in the story. He would play the short piece and then ask the class...

Wireless speakers are there as are light bulbs, so you basically put them together in a rather sophisticated way, citing technological advances as your friend.

Apparently the parts of the SoundBulb are replaceable and can be upgraded from time to time. The question is? How about heat factor,after all bulbs do produce a lot of heat and could be damaging to the speakers.Sou...

cyberbullying and sexting

Many thanks to @PLN717 for sharing this on twitter today.First of all, it's odd how these things sometimes happen. I was just talking to someone whose daughter was the victim of bullying and I know how devastating it was for both daughter and mother. So this video (youtube) is important to watch. It's from @nocyberbullies (might be a good person to follow, maybe?). The only issue I have with this is that the phtographer didn't show the slides. Those are important. Maybe someone can find where those slides are posted online.Then, @PLN717 also posted this link which points to a VERY interesting and important pdf files about "sexting." Attention all parents of children over the age of 11: READ THAT FILE! If you don't know what sexting is then you OWE IT to yourself and your child to find out....

Perhaps the best answer is to learn from the experience of successful people.Nouveau Riche (French for "new rich"), or new money, refers to a person who has acquired considerable wealth within his or her generation. This term is generally to emphasize that the individual was previously part of a lower socioeconomic rank, and that such wealth has provided the means for the acquisition of goods or luxuries that were previously unobtainable.In http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/1991/09/09/75462/index.htm you can...

A (GIANT) Poem in the Desert

"neither shame, nor fear"Those are words to this 3 km wide poem written in the sand by poet Raúl Zurita. Rather than me tell you about it, go (again) to the gearth blog and read their post about it. You can also download the .kmz file that points to it. Zoom in to see the letters more clearly.This one reminds me of the story that coolcatteacher wrote about a short while ago about the cellist in the courtyard. When great tragedy strikes (in this case, the unchecked reign of terror of Pinochet) some people turn to the arts to either express their deep sadness or to speak out against the terror.Share this with your favorite art teacher, or even an English teacher who teaches poetry.I can imagine, on this inauguration day, a 3 km poem written in the sands of one of the desserts in the U.S. that...

Imagine The Car

For his masters diploma project conducted in Citroen’s Design Center (ADN), designer Antonin Maire D’Eglise set out to really break some new ground with his C-BIONIC concept. The hypothesis of the project is that in the near future, mankind will have depleted the natural resources so heavily relied upon in the automotive industry. This will lead way to a second renaissance, where de-materialization and genetic science will be used as building blocks in a more humanistic and poetic world. A genetically modified tree is used as the chassis of the vehicle, and the rest of the body is made from highly biodegradable materials. The tree was chosen...
