Blog 10 - November 26, 2012

Howdy Folks!

In preparation for switching topics this week we will visit one of my favorite sites:

http://www.thinkgeek.com/

I love, LOVE this website. It's chock full of stuff for geeky people.

So for credit this week, pick a product and GIVE US THE LINK and then tell us why you love it or think it's abundantly stupid. You MUST PROVIDE THE LINK so that the rest of us can go and look at it.

Your blog should look a little something like this:

I think I need this desk defender. On those days when I don't have enough caffeine and you folks get too close to my desk I could make you BACK OFF! (Can you tell the caffeine isn't circulating yet?)

Lanham, 1st period

You must give us the link.
You must give an opinion.
You must sign and put your class period.

This is one of the RARE times when you can go ahead and blog on Tuesday. Be sure to check back on Thursday during blog time if you do that so you can see what everybody else is shopping for.

Talk to me . . .

Hola! Thanks for logging in!

Big thanks to Kolten K this week for providing some blog sites for me regarding transportation. He will get an extra grade for this! Are you jealous? You can do the same thing.

For credit this week, pick a story listed below and tell us which one. And then tell us something interesting and factual about this story. This one is NOT an opinion blog. You must do some ACTUAL reading. Read today, post Thursday.

Howdy! Thanks for logging in!

So this week let's talk about mass transportation, which would also alleviate some of this country's dependence on fossil fuel.

Here's a link:

For this week's credit pick one of these urban transports, tell us which one, and then tell us why the one you picked is better than the others.

As always, read Tuesday and blog Thursday.
