In thinking about educational activities for you and the kids this spring, I present a couple of unusual options. The first, the Tellus Museum, is a small museum with a lot of fun stuff to offer for kids. The second is the IKEA store in Atlanta. Both places were interesting, educational, and best of all – FUN!

In this episode, I discuss school projects and science fairs. Amanda recently had to create a diorama of the Battle of Bunker Hill, and I coordinated our elementary school science fair, so the whole family was involved in helping the kids learn how to tackle big projects like these without freaking out, and helping us parents learn how to not do the whole thing ourselves or die trying! Special thanks to Blake Smith of the MonsterTalk podcast, and Jamie Chambers of SignalFire Studios, creator of the Serenity, Battlestar Galactica, and Cortex roleplaying games, for being some of my wonderful judges for the science fair!

Hey guys,
This time around I though I would review my second type of movie I love. A martial arts one. 
I have always loved it, for as long as I can remember, it’s so much like dancing when you think about it. Punch, block, kick. All timed to be a graceful dance across the screen when done right.
I have three favorite martial actors, Jackie Chan that I wrote about earlier, Michelle Yeoh, the beautiful woman from crouching tiger; (She’s a grandmother and still does films! that so rocks.) and there there is the star of this film Jet Li. I’ll have some cool things about him after my review. He’s a real life hero, and someone to look up too.
