  • Khan Academy

    As is usually the case when I watch 60 Minuets, I was inspired by a story. This story was on a educational website called Khan Academy. It’s a free website that has a knack for teaching some of the more complicated school subjects, like chemistry, calculus and economics. It’s really amazing because it’s a great way to teach both kids and adults and it is totally free.

    To be inspired, watch the 60 Minuets story below and then go check out the website yourself. I’m actually interested in taking another stab at more advance math that I was never successful at picking up in high school. It’s very tempting.

    But they have literally hundreds of topics, so check it out and see if something interests you.

  • Trade In – iPad 1 for Nexus 7

    I’ve only had it for 24 hours but already love it. It’s no iPad, but in many ways that’s a good thing. I’m having fun learning a totally new operating system for the first time in over 10 years.

  • Carnival Magic Cruise 2012 Photos

    Our vacation (on the Carnival Magic)  this year was LONG overdue, and was amazing. Not because of all that we did, but of how little we did. Being lazy, afternoon naps and staying up until 2am dancing are all underrated in my opinion. We spent almost the entire time on the ship and only got off for a few hours in Key West. We only planned for whatever moment we were currently in, and no further. What a way to live.

    Here are some of the photos, way too many more can be found on SmugMug
