Akeelah and the Bee

Have you ever heard anyone complain that Hollywood does not produce an good natured films?  I have heard so many people complain about stuff like that.  Anyway, I had heard a lot of good things about a film titled, Akeelah and the Bee.  It has been in our blockbuster online queue for quite some time and finally came the other day.  Well, all I can say is that Julie and I loved it.  You must see this film.

Donate Old Computer

Does anyone have a computer that they are not using any more?   I'm looking for something to convert into a linux box and start messing around with that operating system.  I eventually want to make my laptop dual-boot windows and linux but I need something to practice on before I do it to my own computer. Let me know. 

Gondwanaland

So when I was a kid my dad told me that when the continents were all connected that it was called Gondwanaland.  I thought that I was pretty cool and smart.  Years later in elementary school the teacher asked what the name of the land mass was when all the continents were stuck together.  I was so excited and I raised my hand and said, "Gondwanaland!"  Much to my dismay the teacher said that was incorrect!  All the kids laughed at me and I was really embarrassed.  I mean let's face it, it does sort of sound funny!  I was like no it's not!  Anyway, I was troubled by that experience for some time. 

So the other day Julie was doing her homework for one of her classes - Natural Disasters - and she said to me, have you ever heard of Gondwanaland.  I was so excited when I heard her say that!  So I asked her what it was and told her that I had definitely heard of it!  So Gondwanaland is actually the name of the southern supercontinent after Pangea split.  For your information the northern supercontinent was called Laurasia.

BLaugh - I feel his pain!!!

This is so funny!
