Top 8: Favorite Guy Movies Viewed in 2009

As in other years, this is my list of the best movies I saw over the year that would primarily appeal to the man of the family.  They aren’t all new; I don’t get out to the theater that often.  I’m a bit late with the list this year (and a few short) since I [...]

Top Ten: Movies for a Rainy Day

We’ve had a bit of rain where I live recently, and it’s made me crave a certain type of movie.  Since we’re in the midst of a fairly major remodeling project I haven’t had the chance to watch all of these, but I’m craving to (sometimes enjoying a bit of melancholy with a batch of [...]

Top 10: Favorite Guy Movies Viewed in 2008

This is a guest post from my husband, Greg:
As with 2007’s list, these are movies I watched (or re-watched) over the previous year.  They didn’t necessarily come out in 2008.  Since we usually wait for movies to come out on DVD rather than go to the theater, I tend to see things a bit late.  [...]

Top 10: Family Favorite Movies We’ve Seen in 2008

Due to the Popularity of my Top 10: Favorite Movies and Television Shows We’ve Seen in 2007 post, I’ve written one for 2008.  This year’s list was a lot more difficult to create than last year’s since we didn’t see as many fantastic movies this year.  However, everything on this list is excellent.

Learning with Movies

A big part of my children’s lives are movies. We’ve met many homeschooling families who either don’t allow movies at all into their children’s lives, restrict movies to only “educational ones”, allow only one movie per week (or other predetermined timeframe), or at a minimum restrict the content of the movies the children watch [...]

Just Where Is That Pointy Mountain in Star Trek?

After my family and I noted that the same pointy mountain kept popping up in various movies and television shows that we were watching, we started to wonder where it was. You know the one, it’s in every series of Star Trek except DS9, Roswell, Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey, and many many more [...]

3D Fun

My kids love 3-D things. They’ve been having a lot of fun with Neave Anaglyph. It’s a website where you can “doodle in 3D”. Put on your 3D glasses and have some fun!
Some more fun free online games to check out are:

Why I’ll Never Be Replaced By a Computer (and Neither Will You)

Contrary to television shows, people cannot be replaced by machines!
Computers are not capable of original thought. Humans are. Computers, and their software, only do as they are programmed. They cannot do more, or less, than the human(s) in charge of them have designed and programmed them to do. The world [...]
