I’m in a Hong Kong lounge waiting for the flight to Taiwan. Michael E. Lopez will be guest-blogging here for the next 10 days — if  I’ve set him up correctly to access the site. Just a little tired . . .

We’ll be touring Taiwan with our friend Edwin, who’s a native. I hope to de-blog my brain while we’re here.

Bellringers has posted the Education Buzz carnival — and met the yearbook deadlines!

Steve Spangler showed off fun science on the Ellen DeGeneres Show yesterday. ”In past appearances, he has made giant Elephant’s Toothpaste, blown hundreds of ping pong balls across the stage, walked across a pool of corn starch, laid Ellen across a bed of nails and shot smoke rings across the studio.”

 If I Had a Million Dollars is the theme of this week’s Carnival of Homeschooling, hosted by Forever, For Always, No Matter What.

This week’s Carnival of Homeschooling, hosted by A Life Supreme, honors a creation of the Harry Potter world, the pensieve, which “allows you to take thoughts that you have conveniently removed from your mind (and stored in handy phials up on the shelf) and view them from another perspective at a later time.”

That could be useful.
