Does this mind trick work on you? · Sunday June 28, 2009
Again, I was stumbling around the internet and found a mind trick. Don’t try to do anything funny, just do the activity (it will take you 30 seconds). I’m part of the 98%. Are you?
Did it work on you (don't reveal the answer)?
Dominion Game · Friday June 26, 2009
I was stumbling around today and noticed a new game called Dominion. Not that I’ve had any time to play games recently, but I always have my eyes out for new fun games. It seems to be getting a lot of good reviews and is a Spiel des Jahres nominee as well as receiving the Mensa Best Mind Game of 2009. It only takes 30 minutes and can be played with 2-4 players, which is a plus for me.
So if anyone needs to buy me something (or just wants to), there is a good idea.

The easiest way to embed an equation in a blog is by using the following website:
It is pretty straight forward, and you can add it to a post pretty easily (copy/paste).
Brilliant! How did I never know that?

Lalalalalalala · Thursday June 25, 2009
Someone (maybe DP or Matt) got me on Lala.com and wow is it pretty cool. You can have all the music that you own online and you can play that collection on any computer with an internet connection. You can listen to ANY song once for free. You can buy any song for 10 cents, that can only be played through Lala. If you want to put it on an iPod or CD, you can buy the download capability for 89ish cents (price depends on the song).
E-folios · Thursday June 25, 2009
Just doing a little research for the possibilities of using Efolios. A few links that I found helpful:
Student lead conferences were brought up here and made me think about doing this as well.
iPod Touch · Monday March 24, 2008
So, I got an iPod Touch last Monday before we took 400ish 8th graders to D.C. I needed something for the ride up, and I’ve been wanting to get one for a while now, and since I’ve been able to do some web design on the side, this was the little treat that I wanted to get myself. I chose not to get the iPhone for a few reasons.
1. I just signed up for a new service agreement with Alltel and I didn’t want to have to break my contract.
2. Most of my family has Alltel and we can call each other for free.
3. The bill for the iPhone is a bit more than I was willing to splurge on.
So, the iPod Touch it was. And it is great. It has everything the iPhone has except for the phone and a camera. I can check email. I can get on the internet. I can watch shows and movies. I can listen to music. I can look at pictures. Awesome.
And now, thanks to Remote Buddy I can now control my computer from my iPod like it is a remote control. I can change playlists. I can make my music LOUDER. I can load a video on the computer from across the room. Very nice…
600 chip poker case · Thursday November 29, 2007
So I found a great deal on a chip case on ebay from some friends at Chiptalk Forums and decided to purchase it. I wasn’t expecting a whole lot since I only paid $18 (s&h included) but when it arrived today, I was happily surprised by how nice it was. I’ve created a quick slideshow of some of the pictures I took. I hope you enjoy! The piece of wood that I am holding was a divider in the bottom section of the box that divided the open section in half. The area was just a bit too small for my cards, so I pulled it out (without much effort) and will glue it back where I’d like the divider to be. I’m sure it wasn’t designed to be poorly attached, but I’m glad it was!
