"I'm personaly in an enginering and architecture class, and this building is sweet. Its kinda hard to imagin how someone can draw this up and watch it come to life. If I ever get the chance I want to see this building for myself."

Val Mann commented on Matt Sievert's blog post Will racism ever go away?
"I agree with you that racism hasn't fully gone away. Sure, it's not such a big factor in society today but it is obvious it still exists, like from your basketball story. Racism absolutely infuriates me because I don't understand how…"

Val Mann commented on Phil Schroeder's blog post The Simple Music
"I completely agree, Phil! Simpler music is the way to go. I love artists like Jason Mraz, City & Colour, and Anya Marina. They all have such basic elements of music but it's by far some of the best music I've ever heard. I think…"

Holland, 1945 by Neutral Milk Hotel

Neutral Milk Hotel's song "Holland, 1945" contains references to Anne Frank and World War II and since we're learning about it in class, I thought it's relevant. It's also a pretty darn awesome song.

Are there any quotes that inspire you?

I'm pretty sure we've all heard quotes that we think are really awesome, or that we can totally relate with, or that make us want to go out and live life to the fullest and all that fun stuff. I think it's really cool that simple words someone we don't even know said could potentially inspire us to go out and change the world somehow.One of my personal favorite quotes is "It's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years."

Is Kai-lan the new Dora?

For years, if you wanted to learn a second language in school Spanish, French, or German have been the way to go. But now, as China's economy becomes more and more succesful, Mandarin Chinese has become more popular in schools. In colleges, enrollment in Chinese classes has incresed by 51% since 2002. Throughout the nation, there are Chinese programs in over 550 schools, ranging from elementary school to high school, and they have experienced a 100% increase in the past two… Continue

"There are many options out there, but to standardize is to tell a lot of teachers to learn something new or unfamiliar... it's a tricky subject.  That's why I'd love to start my own school, powered by Edmodo, Ning, etc :)"

9/11 Skylines and Turnstiles

I'm not usually someone who writes a lot , not publicly anyway but I do love to express my self through art, usually visual art but most of the time the art I make is influenced by something . In this case it's a song a written by one of my favorite musicians as a response to the feeling of horror and disbelief as he watched the Twin Towers in New York go from icons to ruins on 9/11/01. The song is sad,…See More
