weird things » exploring science, technology, the strange and the unknown: "Originally, this blog started in an unusual time in my life; when I was trying to figure out what I really wanted to do for a living, and it played a big role in my decisions as well as adding an interesting project to my resume. I started Weird Things as an experiment, prompted to at least consider it by another blogger, and quickly made it my test of everything I knew about design, promotion, and web marketing."

I know the world of Harry Potter isn’t real – but that story penetrated our family life for years. It was magic.
I remember Debates over dinner: Was Professor Snape was really as wicked as Harry thought he was?"

Reading Harry Potter was one of the most meaningful experiences of my kids lives – and of mine, and yet it all began so gently, so quietly, snuggled together under warm blankets, opening the cover of a book…"

Merlin writes so beautifully.
“And, although I’m confident that I will always think my daughter is The Greatest Thing in the Universe, I’m also all too aware that this feeling will not always be reciprocated in quite that same way or with quite that same enthusiasm that we both enjoy right now.
She won’t always run to my bed in footie jammies."

Craig Campbell – Family Man Lyrics with Video: "Craig Campbell – Family Man Lyrics
I’ve been working as a temp
At the local factory
I hope they hire me on full time
I’ve got shoes to buy
and a mouth to feed.
I drive a buy here, pay here truck
It ain’t new, but it is for me
It ain’t much but it fires right up
and get me from A to B
What puts the dirt underneath my nails
What keeps the calluses on my hands
Family man"

@BananaSandwich1 I noticed that similarity too ;p

Poetry by Langston Hughes - The Weary Blues - YouTube: "Carl Sandburg until putting together this series of shorts and felt convinced he also must have been a strong influence on Kerouac. One of the short poems posted called 'Skyscrapers' sounds like it could have been written by him. They also had some similar experiences and interests."

The Asian American Studies Program at the University of Maryland: "beautiful Chinese female pirate who commanded a fleet of 1500 ships and 80,000 sailors in the early 1800s! Named Cheng I Sao, she raided the coastlines of Asia from 1801 to 1810. Wave after wave of Chinese naval fleets and British and Portuguese bounty hunters tried to capture her. All to no avail. Read here for more details. Was this the actual basis of some of the story line of the latest Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End? "

Take Back Your Personal Power (Part 1)
Take Back Your Personal Power (Part 1): "Do you ever feel like you’re a mere pawn in someone else’s game; a powerless player that is regularly used, abused and manipulated for the gain and self interest of others? Self interest that’s often thinly disguised as some kind of action, decision or “plan” that’s somehow in your best interest? Isn’t it amazing how some people know what’s best for their life and yours?"
