summer thing #6: geeky internet technology

so i've been developing some web resources for my class in the fall, and in my work, i've discovered how to save youtube videos so that i can use them in class. awesome.

i also came across the coolest website ever for a not-so-secret geek like me. it made my day. i can't tell you how many times i've watched a movie trailer and wondered "what is that song? where have i heard that before?" now i can look it up! like the dork that i am. i stumbled across it while looking for resources to develop a class project to create more, awesome, fake movie trailers about ancient history. now i can try to find hot tracks to make my students' trailers seem more realistic.

on a side note: have you seen the preview for the movie Mirrors? It looks terrible. honestly. i mean, kiefer sutherland, couldn't you stick to 24, not getting into trouble with the law, and confusing me about why you don't have an accent but your father does?

lastly, i just bought my airline ticket for my 5 year college reunion. class of 03, i'll be schmoozin with you on the lush campus of Stahn-forrrd in just over 2 months. yay!
