If I had to list my two biggest fears in life, they would be tornadoes and bees. No contest. When I was growing up, we had tornado warnings in the summer all the time. They used to scare the CRAP out of me, because I was one of those kids who read science books just for fun and knew what…

I love when artists take metal songs and turn them into a different genre. These are probably some of the best covers I’ve ever seen/heard of Pantera & Slayer songs.

If you’re banging your head against the wall trying to figure out a way to class up your bedroom on a budget, a padded headboard is a great way to do it without making permanent changes to a room. These cost hundreds of dollars if you buy them online or from the store, but the one I made cost just under $200 and has really helped make my apartment feel more like home.
Make sure you have a bit of time for this DIY project – I did it over the course of a week or so, but it could probably be done in one or two days if you really want to.

Apparently Newt Gingrich wants to find a fancier name for smartphones. Beware – brain cells may be lost in the process of viewing this YouTube video. Watch the video by Ray Kurzweil at the end of the post to gain them back.

So yesterday, one of my 9 yo students turned towards me and said matter of factly: “Did you know that sitting kills you?” Then she turned back to the piano without any explanation very abruptly and slammed down really hard on the first note of an F Major scale.
