What's the deal with these Webkinz?

Should I buy a box of Webkinz cards Series 1 or Series 2 for a good kid?

That dude needs a publicist.

Just because we gotta ask every couple of years: Anyone know what Neal Stephenson is up to lately? Any new works on the horizon?

Shake your head if yes

A rambling instrumental with banjo, whistling, and a few other ingredients. Mix well and serve chilled.

Deja Vu?

Does anyone know of the research paper (study) where they had people do a day-old crossword and they claimed that those people were able to solve those easier than new crossword puzzles? I saw it referenced in "Waking Life" and was wondering if it were a real paper.

Test-in or backdoor into research and/or higher education?

As an "outsider", how do I find a back door in to a school or institution of research? Is there any way to "test in" to such a program - or to a degree?

Please help me not become my parents

How can I keep from calcifying my beliefs and becoming like most of the actual adults that I know?

K12 Hot Links is an educational blog focused on...

K12 Hot Links K12 Hot Links is an educational blog focused on finding the best educational resource sites on the Internet. I spent the last 3 years working (as the IT director) in a K-12 School District and got everyday lessons in how desperate teachers are for good resources. There seem to be many "bad" educational websites (poor design, infrequently updated), or sites that are just "opinion". The goal of K12 Hot Links is to create a simple and easy to navigate directory of USEFUL educational resources that will make teachers lives easier. I've posted 250+ links so far, in categories covering Classroom Management and Fundraising to Textbooks and Online Software. In the future I have plans to do a yearly laptop give-away (ending in July right before school starts), among other ideas.

I want to do something real

I have a fresh B.S. in Computer Science, and I'm currently in graduate school. And I hate it. But, I want to do research. Can you help me find a "side door" into corporate R&D? Alternatively, add to my list of R&D labs.
