abbydonkrafts — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 09:17:00 -0400

Urban astro-nerds, rejoice! The smog and lights of the city will obscure your view of the heavens no more. And your star photography will twinkle. Now you can go online to access high-quality scopes at dark-sky sites worldwide and order them to take photos for you — cheaply or for free, and at decent resolution. It may take some preparation, but even if the results aren't exactly Hubble-icious, there's something out-of-this-world about playing astronomer for a night.

A colleague of ours found this set of building blocks to help children learn English. One of the things that is so amazing about teaching English as a foreign language is that it forces you to rethink components of English you take for granted and experience the language in a completely new way. With that in mind, try to remember back…far back... to yourself at a more innocent time. Tagged by abbydonkrafts under humor, fun, funny, interesting, Engrish,
