The new Extra Credits deals with gamification. →
I’ve always thought it’d be really neat if the skinner box technique was used to facilitate education. I know I fall victim to level-up goodness all too easily (which is why I’ve avoided mmorpg’s like the plague) but if it were applied to learning something, that would be absolutely brilliant.
I love Joss Whedon's writing.
conkers:
In his run of Astonishing X-Men, Kitty Pryde is late for the gathering to welcome the new students. When she enters, she says “Sorry about the timing. Did I miss the sorting hat?”
Joss Whedon + X-Men + Harry Potter allusion? It simply doesn’t get any better than that. I loved his portrayal of Kitty. This is probably due to the fact that Kitty actually inspired Buffy’s...
So apparently I'm not prepared enough to take this...
The professor took me and my 2 friends, who also happen to be freshman, aside and said that we would be in over our heads in this course. She said that these seniors were far more prepared, and that once we got past learning the software and needed to do research for infographics we wouldn’t be able to keep up. Research? Are you saying we are too inept to be able to google something or crack...

It’s okay to cast Asians and Asian-Americans in movies based on things that originated in Asia.
It’s okay to make movies about Asians that star Asians and Asian-Americans and people of Asian descent and hey, did you notice that big continent called Asia? It’s where Asians are from. There are so many of us! Here in America, even! (OMG I THINK THEY’RE EVEN ON TUMBLR!!!)

Seriously, who throws these perfectly good items away? Maybe they’re just veering away from placing things in pots since Link always comes through and smashes them all.

Cleaned out my iTunes library. It's nice to not...
Getting about 10 hours worth of music from someone who loves classic rock and country music was probably the worst idea in the history of bad ideas.
I’m not a fan of country music, it’s probably the only major genre that I have yet to appreciate. And although I like classic rock well enough, it’s not my cup of tea. Also there were a lot of bands like Korn, and cookie-cutter...

My mother can be amusing at times
Mom: ((link to article about Rebecca Black))
Michelle (my sister): Did you find this on your own mom?
Mom: What is that supposed to mean? Jenny (my other sister) wanted to know whose party you were both going to in Florida on Friday. So I figured it out for myself. I personally like the full chipmunk version because it sounds better.

callurgirlfriend:
Let’s begin with the very name of the song, ‘Friday’. The name of this day of the week, which follows Thursday and comes before Saturday (Sunday comes afterward), which is the sixth day of the week. 6 being the number of the beast.
In the opening scene, Rebecca wakes up from bed and sings…
