20th Century Fail

I have laughed at this video more times than I can count.  Jeff (Mr. Lohneis) laughs at this EVERY time and asks me to replay it multiple times in a row.  It's just really, really horrible.  Enjoy!

Computers 8 new editing assignments

The next 6 editing assignments are to be completed with the following themes:

1. Nature
2. Friendship
3. Art
4. Determination
5. Reflection
6. Faith

They do not need to include any text.  Edit them in any way you choose and hand them in to the Computers 8C or Computers 8M hand-in folder with your last name and the name of the edit (as above).  This will take us between 3-6 classes to complete.

Happy editing!

Jolly (and sleepy!) jumper!

My sister sent this gem to me yesterday.  I guess Hudson was so sleepy that he went from giggling and cooing to completely zonked out in the middle of his jolly jumper session.  If only bedtime was always this easy for my sister and her husband (and their 2 sets of twins)!
