Last week I attended a workshop about the latest version of Carnegie Mellon's Alice educational software, Alice 3 Beta. The workshop was primarily for educators, but I was excited to have the opportunity to take part in the workshop! I thought Alice 2 was very cool -- Alice 3 is amazing! To learn more about Alice 3 -- check out the team's blog -- http://blog.alice.org/.
Recently a friend of mine moved to China because of her boyfriend's job. She has been writing a fantastic, charming, and funny blog about her experiences in Shanghai. Check it out:
I've been enjoying learning to use Alice! Here are links to two worlds I created using Alice:
Enjoy!
I just got back from a fabulous vacation to Hong Kong and the Philippines. It was my first trip to Southeast Asia and it was an amazing experience. Read about it at my blog:
Through My Eyes - A trip to Hong Kong & the Philippines
I am thankful to have had the opportunity to take this trip!
Last year I wrote a blog entry in memory of those that lost their lives in the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01. I received a comment about whether 9/11 really occurred or was a massive conspiracy and than another comment about the lives that have in the resulting wars and conflicts.
To me 9/11 is very real. Seven years ago today, nineteen individuals hijacked four airplanes and turned them into weapons and killed thousands of people. Over three thousand died that day in the attacks, and yes, thousands and thousands more have died since in wars and violence in the name of justice or retaliation; depending on your prospective. I do not really think really matters whether you are angry about the terrorist attacks or the wars -- the loss of life that has resulted is tragic.
I, for one, am angry about the attacks. At the time they occurred I was a Boeing 757 & 767 pilot for American Airlines flying out of Boston. These attacks hit very close to home. My friends were killed and my life changed forever. Thinking about the events still brings me great sadness. May their lives never be forgotten.
