Have You Fallen Down the Rabbit Hole?
Written by Suzanne on March 6, 2010Have you fallen down the rabbit hole yet to Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland movie? I haven’t but I plan to.
I didn’t make it to the Ultimate Fan event but I did find a cool video via Hot Topic.
If you have seen the film tell us what you think about it.

OK Go then Cut
Written by Suzanne on March 5, 2010My home page is set to Yahoo because they always have a lot of fun articles and keep me in the know. I’m usually in the know about stuff I really don’t need to know about. Take this for example, the latest video by OK Go the guys that danced on a treadmill and are famous for their no-cut vids. Well that’s what the net is saying anyway. Here’s their latest very cool and obviously time consuming video “This Too Shall Pass”:
Now here’s a dude that says wait a minute I woke up early, watched the video, found hidden cuts and made a video to tell you about it on YouTube. Let’s see what he has to say:
Of course “This Too Shall Pass” is just one video going viral in the last few days and just like most viral vids, this too shall pass.

Baby, Come Back
Written by Suzanne on February 27, 2010I fear I’ve lost a bit of that lovin’ feeling lately when it comes to posting. So I’m yelling at my PCS (Pop Culture Syndrome), “Baby, Come Back!”
Maybe a trip down retro TV lane will bring back the passion. Let’s see if an episode of ALF will help.
Math Music
Written by Suzanne on February 21, 2010I’ve been homeschooling my kiddo since she was just a little thing. It’s always been “easy peasy lemon squeezy” for us. We have lots of fun in a relaxed atmosphere using traditional and child-led ways to learn new things.
This year she’s in 3rd grade and that’s when I noticed the pace picking up quite a bit. These days multiplication, division and complex word problems have been thrown into our homeschool equation.
While browsing the internet for content that might help with math concepts I found these cool resources:
Ms. Robinson says, “Let’s bounce to education.”
Here she is with the 9’s Tables featuring the Delray Divas Step Team. You ready?
These guys know how to rock the standards with kickin’ skip counting tunes and songs such as Parallel or Perpendicular, Mean Mode Median, and the Place Value Rap.
Multiplication Hip Hop sets all their songs to award winning music from 2 Pac Shakur, 50 Cent, Ludacris, and many more. Here’s their Tribute to the King of Pop:
Learn math & reading through musical videos that make difficult concepts simple with Learning Upgrade. Their math portion starts at Grade 5 and goes up through Algebra concepts.
Will the Real George Washington Please Stand Up
Written by Suzanne on February 15, 2010Presidents Day! Time for car, furniture, and mattress sales. For many it’s a day to jump start some Springtime fun.
I was searching the intertubes for information about George Washington when I came across the National Geographic YouTube channel. This looks like an interesting episode. From the comments it also looks like many are not happy with the “recent discoveries” about George Washington. What do you think?
