Tubing

Just looked back to my previous post and I can tell I'm loosing track here. It's very easy, isn't it?!....So, back to our modules! A favorite YouTube video. Well, here it goes: The Chooky Dancers, a group of Aboriginal teenagers from Arnhem Land. Why this video? Well, I did say I love Zorba the Greek, and these kids got famous for their interpretation of that dance, and better said they got famous because of, yes, YouTube. For more details on their success, have a read of this Sydney Morning Herald article

But first of all, have a look at the Chookies. I saw them last week at Melbourne Museum and they were AMAZING and very funny too.

That Library Thing

No photos of my books as I have none (photos, I mean) but added some titles in my account that would be appropriate to mark yesterday's international day of remembrance of the transatlantic slavery trade. You can scroll my catalogue here.

Imagining

It took a lot of walking, flying, working out routes, quarreling over who is taking the lead, getting lost...but they made it. My birds made it to the USA. For good or ill...Haven't heard yet which. Although rumours have it that they've been framed.

Flickering, BubbleSharing....

Needless to say, it never occurred to me that following up on this would have such weird and ominous consequences...The combined effects of still daydreaming about Vanuatu and looking through Vanuatu photos - what else? - on Flicker have complicated my life most severly.... I have spent the past hour sorting and pondering on photos. 'Flicker' Vanuatu and you'll get 33,000 results. But, after all, a place it's nothing without its people.... Right? Right.... So, I created a Ni-Vanuatus (locals of Vanuatu) album; some are my photos, most are not. But this is all about sharing, isn't it? I used BubbleSharing - thanks for the tip Colleen! - and if you're interested, here 'tis!
BubbleShare: Share photos - Play some Online Games.

about this blog...at last

As it happens, first it was the word.....Yeah.Yeah.Right.Right....But which one?...the same with naming this blog.....What to choose? 'As it happens' seems about right since you're documenting things you learn, things that happen while you learn.....So, as it happens it is! why not?...why not indeed.

And if you happen to be a wordnerd too, I have a list of 'neologisms' published by Washington Post. Apparently they ask their readers to supply alternate meanings for common words. For example: abdicate (v.), to give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach....Yes, I thought you would like this one...anyhow, you got the gist.

If you want to read the whole list, send word.....
