Favorite Read:
"The Symbolism Survey"
"In 1963, a sixteen-year-old San Diego high school student named Bruce
McAllister sent a four-question mimeographed survey to 150 well-known
authors of literary, commercial, and science fiction. Did they
consciously plant symbols in their work? he asked. Who noticed symbols
appearing from their subconscious, and who saw them arrive in their
text, unbidden, created in the minds of their readers? When this
happened, did the authors mind?"
Favorite Project:
This is Nine Inch Nail's Pretty Hate Machine, "re-imagined in its entirety on eight
different 8-bit systems" and renamed as "Pretty Eight Machine."
Favorite Giggle:

Favorite Super Geek:
Man, kids today are so lucky. Valve created Teach With Portals: a place for teachers to "share compelling, engaging and creative content for using Portal and Portal 2 in their classrooms." FYI: Lesson plans have already been posted. Valve, can we just get married already? I'm clearly in love with you.
Favorite Awesome:
If Harry Potter was just an episode on Are You Afraid of the Dark? this would have been the running theme music for sure. Kinda creepy, definitely awesome.
Favorite Activity:
Summer is for chumps. Planetariums in the summer: champs only. Here's a list of six US planetariums to visit this summer. Can I come with? I'll be your best friend..
Favorite Video:
Stop motion, check. Playmobil characters, check. Catchy summer pop song, double check. So how could this video about the perfect holiday possibly suck?
