Read- Think- b4-u- Write: The Month Long Journey that Took Ten Years
http://read-think-b4-u-write.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-month-long-journey-that-took-ten.html
Tuesday, May 19, 2015. The Month Long Journey that Took Ten Years. Did you ever wonder why it took Odysseus ten years to complete a journey that should have taken a month? Did you ever wonder why Odysseus after fighting a ten-year war, doesn't just jump in his ship and paddle back to Ithaca (and Penelope) as fast as he can? Well, those are questions that could be argued forever, and probably will be, but now there is an interactive map of Odyssesus's Journey. Hmm, sounds like some kind of drug problem.

A new study found that the brains of people who report compulsive urges to use social networking sites show some brain patterns similar to those found in drug addicts." Yikes, that's saying something. But are our beliefs true? What about body image? Seriously, who posts a picture when they look like something a dog just vomited on the floor? And what about being left out when your friends post party pics? The hig...

Read- Think- b4-u- Write: What Superpower Would You Choose?
http://read-think-b4-u-write.blogspot.com/2012/05/what-superpower-would-you-choose.html
Thursday, May 24, 2012. What Superpower Would You Choose? Do you want to fly? Would you like be invisible? How about superhuman strength or X-ray vision? My superpower of choice is to be able to speak every language in the Universe - from Elven to Italian, Mandarin to Romulan, cat to bat, and everything in between. I'd like to hear (or receive, if it's a telepathic language) everybody's story in their own language and understand all the delicate nuances intelligent beings can fashion. The power I would u...

http://read-think-b4-u-write.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-public-domain-project.html
Wednesday, January 21, 2015. The Public Domain Project. I think Wikipedia is one of the greatest inventions ever! I bet you thought you'd never hear a professor say that. But thinking deeper about the information highway, what I really love is with a tad bit of effort you can find anything. The Public Domain Project over at Pond5. Has so far collected 10,000 film clips, 64,000 images and hundreds of audio files free for public access. But what does one have access to exactly? January 21, 2015 at 2:33 PM.

Wednesday, May 13, 2015. School Projects - Let's Peep a Good Thing Goin'. Gian Delos Santos, DVC. I have a love/hate relationship with projects- and then I get something like this, a two-foot tall diorama featuring one of my favorite subjects. I mean who doesn't love the Avengepeeps in all their gooey glory. What do I mean when I say I have a love/hate relationship with projects? Sometimes I feel like students spend more time on their projects than on their papers, but hey, what are projects for anyway?
