A definite theme

I decided to combine this week’s link dump with this month’s book dump since April starts tomorrow. When I started gathering everything to enter it, I noticed an odd relationship between most of my links. Let’s see if you can find it.
We’ll start with the links…all two of them!

College students making the grade online, in […]

Going in order is weird

For those who might be stumbling across this blog for the first time, I like cartoons. Actually, I prefer to say i like animation, because I watch cartoons, anime, and full-length animated features.
That second one is the one driving me crazy most days. Normally, I find a dub that I enjoy and go hunting for […]

Cartoons fuel my studies and my projects

It sounds a bit weird, but watching cartoons has really shaped a lot of the behind-the-scenes work at the still-on-hiatus Dead Bunny Educational site.
Avatar: the Last Air Bender and Magi-Nation both give me things to think about every time I watch them. How to build a story around character education, math education, and science education. […]

Let it snow, let it snow, let it link

It’s snowing for the second time this month. When I moved to Seattle, I was told not to expect much in the way of snow because it never snows here. Yet every single winter that I’ve lived here,, it’s snowed. In fact, it’s snowed enough to cause me to miss at least one day of […]

A lean link dump

For those who haven’t heard yet, I’m really struggling with writing the second book. I also am still teaching at the local craft store, so if you’re local, come check out my class. (The store manager and the peyote stitch instructor will both love you for it because both have thought about taking my class, […]

No one makes cartoons for girls anymore

I need to preface this by explaining that I pretty much grew up on “boy” and game-related cartoons (which probably explains why I’m willing to spend four hours on a Saturday morning with Magi-Nation and the majority of the 4Kids line-up). In fact, I’m pretty sure the only “girl” cartoons I watched as a little […]

On being a voice chaser

I’m pretty sure I’ve written on this topic before, but it’s become more relevant recently. I’ll blame that on the company I’ve decided to keep these days.
Like many kids, I loved watching cartoons when I was little. I thought they were so cool. But then I started noticing that Dottie Dog and Rainbow Brite sounded […]

Watching my toons…for a totally different reason

I now have my Saturdays off, and I spend every single one of them with my laptop in front of me, my chai on hand, and my cartoons entertaining me!
I still sit here and drool over the animation. I still voice chase (I think I can finally find Marc Thompson without resorting to ANN! Maybe…)
I’m […]

Kind of a let-down after last week

No quotes this week, but I did manage to save a few links for your viewing pleasure!
Let’s start with DM of the Rings, which I’ve barely started reading. It’s essentially what would happen if the LotR novels had been an actual D&D game (with the understanding LotR was a major influence on the creation of […]

Cartoon review: Magi-Nation

Those of you who have followed this blog for any length of time are aware that when I was in grad school, I spent my weekends at a friend’s game shop. What you don’t know is that my Poke-kids actually managed to badger me into a TCG game.
I remember the months leading up to Magi-Nation’s […]
