Alex the ParrotMarch 20th 2009 09:00
This is a 2-year old clip which was aired on Good Morning America about an amazing parrot named Alex. As we all know, parrots can mimic words and sounds. I had a parrot when I was young, she was white and the only thing she learned to say was her name - Sharon. But Alex was different, it appears he can actually "think." Sadly, Alex died in 2007. I know I can't embed this video here, so here's the link to the clip.

What's Your Learning Style?March 9th 2009 10:42
My worse subject in college was Statistics; I don't know why, there's something about numbers and graphs that completely confuses me. Add to that the fact that my professor's voice could only be heard by those sitting in the first two rows. Also, she had this annoying habit of blocking whatever she is writing on the board with her body. Needless to say I flunked Statistics and had to retake it during the summer.
Fortunately, I had a different professor during the summer; someone whose teaching style made my worse subject surprisingly enjoyable for me. By the end of the class, I had earned a B.

Free and Legal Music DownloadsMarch 6th 2009 16:09
If you're looking for music that you can listen and download legally for free, jamendo might just be the site you are looking for. If you're a musician, you can gain a following and earn money by publishing your music on the site. jamendo also has a nifty widget that you can add on your blog or website. The one below is from the album Between Two Worlds which features acoustic piano music. This album is just a sampling of the selections you will find at jamendo. Visit the Web site here.
I really like listening to this album; it's very relaxing, a perfect end to a tiring day.
