A Fun New (to me) Word Game!










Hi Peeps! Long time no blog! What can I say? Things get a little crazy in library land sometimes.

Miss Bun and I just had to share this word game with you. It's free, it's fun, and it's challenging! What you do is come up with a word to match a definition. The game sessions are timed and you rack up points and badges as you go along. Be sure to register so your stats are saved. It's free...remember? Anyway...check it out and have a blast! Just click on the graphic!

A Great Example of Thinking Outside the Box!

Who knew this about crows? Most people just see them as a nuisance but evidently they could be so much more! Take a look (& listen) to this TED talk. People like this who dare to think in totally new directions will be the ones who move us and the planet forward. (Or so says Miss Bun!)

Super Full Moon Tonight!

It doesn't happen that often so get on out there and watch it! You'll be glad you did.

And to find out more about it check out NASA's info on it from their Science News page.



And now for your listening pleasure (don't know why, but, Miss Bun's brain made a leap from Super Moons to this!):  Enjoy!

Make Some Online Art!

Silk  is an interesting app that lets you create art with your mouse. There are several ways to control what happens on your screen. Plus you can share your work as well. Give it a try!

(Playing with this is somehow intriguing and relaxing at the same time.)

According to the About info : "Silk was created by Yuri Vishnevsky as an experiment in generative art. He is currently working on his degree in Computer Science and Linguistics."

Got Skunk? See This!

Dear Readers,
Last night Miss Bun's Terrible Terrier (aka, The Great White Land Shark) got himself embroiled in a bit of an altercation with a skunk. If you have never experienced ground zero skunk spray thank your lucky stars because, believe me, you don't want to!  It is now the next day but the smell is still upon us with a vengeance. So Miss Bun mustered all her mad librarian skills under fire and came up with this informative video to share with other victims of random skunk attacks. Watch it! (And be warned!)
