Try Not to Laugh

Oh my goodness. I can't even get past the first video without losing this challenge.

Try it!

Hahahahaha!

For my The Fault in Our Stars lovers out there. This shirt is the best! :)

Computer Games

Need some good sites for computer games? Try these out!

Ferry Halim - This website has dozens of games to play that are fun and addictive. Try my first favorite The Amazing Dare Dozen, the hauntingly beautiful Constellations, or the extremely frustrating Cats. Stupid cats.

CLOP - Use the HJKL keys to try to get a unicorn to run. Sounds easy right? Riiiiiight...

This Is Sand - Click on that link, and you'll just be looking at a blank gray screen. Lame. Or is it? Double click and see what happens. :)

Color - Think you know color? Try this game! It's really fun!

Incredibox - Like music? Conduct your own a capella beatbox vocal group. Add dudes to your band and assign them effects, beats, and vocals. Take guys away, bring in more, and craft a killer composition.

Draw a Stickman - Or, if you like to draw, try this game and see what kind of trouble you can get a stickman (or woman) into!

Factory Balls - This is a tough one! Paint a ball to look like the one on the box - harder than it sounds!

QWOP - You thought CLOP was tough? Oh dear...

GIRP - This time you're a rock climber. Good luck!

How to Make a Hexaflexagon

3D Printing - How Does it Work?

After watching the 3D pen video, some people had questions about how it works. Really, 3D printing technology has been around for a few years. Here's a video that shows the basics of how a 3D printer works. Check it out!

What would you create if you had access to a 3D printer?

Cool Stuff I Found While Looking Around

Hey all! I hope your ISAT tests are going well and you're trying your best on each one! I know it's going to be hard to be super quiet for the next week, so I thought I would put up some "fun" stuff for you to watch and respond to.

Below this post you will find several video segments. They might be silly, thought-provoking or informative. Feel free to respond to any or all of them. This week's blog is not a grade - just something fun to do to keep you from going insane with all the quiet. Remember to make sure your headphones are plugged in and keep the volume to a reasonable level so you don't bother anyone too much. Have fun clicking around! :)

Video #1 - Caught Red (Sprinkle) Faced

I feel like Max would do something like this. What shenanigans did you pull when you were little?

Video #2 - Christian the Lion

This is one of my favorite animal stories of all time. Watch what happens when two guys who raised an abused lion are reunited with him after he was released into the wild.

Video #3 - Kid President

Kid president!

Video #4 - Hexaflexagons

The maker of this video is Vi Hart, and she's pretty much my math hero. Watch this video on hexaflexagons, be AMAZED, and then go try to make one yourself!

Video #5 - Ball Pit Friends

This is one of my favorite videos right now. Such a simple idea, and yet, who would ever think to do this? Would you sit in the ball pit and make friends with a stranger?

Video #6 - 3D Pen Lets You Write in the Air

Holy cow! This is crazy! I had heard of 3D printing before, but to be able to WRITE and DRAW in 3D. That's NUTS! What do you guys think? What would you draw?
