Peep, peep, peep!!!
Apr. 28th, 2009 07:53 pmSo, these are really dark, but I brought the first hatched from the incubator in, to make friends with the heater, really, but then I remembered I have a webcam now. :D


Again, hard to tell from this picture, but this little peeper is light enough in color that it's probably a teeny, tiny rooster. Dominiques (or Dominicks, depending on who is asked,) are distinguishable by color even as chicks. The hens are charcoaly and the roosters much lighter, both are speckled black and white. They're what Barred Rock chickens were bred up from.

Netbook cover
Apr. 25th, 2009 03:17 pmSo I tried ordering a netbook cover made of neoprene from Belkin. It's the wrong size, and the right size isn't available in the states.
I'm still annoyed with Amazon, and none of the others I have been able to find on other websites are either A: not what I want because they load the computer in from the side, or B: not a nice color, or C: waaaay too expensive.
Epiphany: Duh. I can knit one.
String solves many problems.

The air smells really good, there was just a very nice, temperate shower outside. :)
On an unrelated note, I'll be doing a brief lesson on food politics, fact, and opinion, with the 5th graders in a week and 1/2. Should be interesting.
My tea is warm, and I'm about to transfer the rest of the music on the old, sad, needs-to-be-fixed laptop onto the new, slick who-knew-how-nice-it-could-be netbook. There is still the whole weekend ahead of me to do homework.
Things could be a lot worse.

I'm so incredibly impressed, and I want someone to do it in Portland. Someone specific, actually (ex housemate) but really, anyone would do. Olympia...not quite right. Eugene...mebbe. Someone on the West coast, please! I feel a need to spectate this!

On the bright side, I'm almoooooost done with my U-Neck Vest.

I ran across some of the language arts songs (Based on poems by Poe, one was The Pit and the Pendulum, the other The Flask of Amontillado) and thought that was pretty cool, showed one of them to Chimere today. I searched for "flocabulary" in Google and got their whole website, which is amazing! I'm listening to "MLK Rap" on the social studies section of the site right now, and, well, listen for yourselves.
Here is the main website. I'm bookmarking this one as a resource for sure.

Mar. 6th, 2009 06:46 pmA group of my classmates taught a class about how graphing can be artistic (synthesizing art and math in one lesson, it was a neat lesson), and one of the examples used was the depiction of Alice in Wonderland from this website.
I have a massive amount of respect for folks who can program software because I use it every day and don't really know how it works. Stuff like this boggles my mind and makes me happy at the same time.
