21. Tidbits

Because I'm too tired today to do the complete paragraphed post thing:

- Yesterday morning I washed my hair with bar soap. For those curious, it does not work as well. Hurrah for being in a rush with no family to come to your aid and not having any shampoo.

- Kids have always mashed the keyboard when they're supposed to be typing their names into the keyboard. Some, however, are getting more creative. Yesterday we had a "dylan.com" and an "undrwar" visit the computer lab.

- Girl-Vader is still pretending she doesn't get Cheating. Luckily I don't think she's actually done it since I've been watching her like a hawk.

- Learned how to use what they call a SMART board during the late start yesterday. They're like a computerized white-board hooked up to an interactive projector. That thing's badass.

- Kids in play practice were already able to read their lines with no scripts at yesterday's rehearsal. Leaves two weeks to just work on blocking and expression. Amazing!

- Last night while rummaging for food, I opened the liquer cabinet to see if anything was stashed away. I saw this new fancy bottle in there, immediately thinking "omg new booze!" It was definitely extra virgin olive oil. Sigh.

- Today li'l S pooped his pants. Ah, the smell of K-1. Poor thing.

- Found out there's a possibility of getting some free WoW game time from a friend. Badaaaaaass!

- Thank god it's Friday. I won't feel bad if I go home and SLEEP.

Did you know you can make a smart board by connecting a Wii remote to a bluetooth compatible screen, pointing it at a whiteboard, and using free wiiWhiteboard software?
Should save about a thousand dollars....

Hmmmm! That's not a bad idea. But what about the interactive slides the kids can move and stuff? Like, they move around shapes on the screen, etc.

The Wii remote can track up to four points of Infrared light at once, so an infrared light pen could be used to move the shape around. The interactive slides are just software. Thus they can be replicated via programming.
