NPR: LIVE IN CONCERT

The NPR Live Concert Series is a collection of concerts, shown via webcast, of some of the most original and exciting music around. There appears to be a lot of rock music, which isn’t my type at all, but I listened to some acoustic folk music. I didn’t actually see the performance, but there were some lovely kaleidoscope type images showing while the music played. There are many performances, and maybe you can figure out how to get the videos on the screen.

THE GOOD EARTH

These stunning images of our beautiful planet have been taken by satellites, the Space

Shuttle, and the International Space Station. Take this mind-blowing multimedia tour and experience the Earth as you have never seen her before. I think the coloring has been enhanced because it’s like nothing I’ve seen in satellite pictures before! More like a strange, but pleasant dream. http://www.frontiermultimedia.com/the-good-earth.htm

 

NORTHERN LIGHTS

Aurora Borealis, more commonly known as The Northern Lights, has been around since our Earth's atmosphere first formed. I’ve certainly never seen anything like these photos in my glimpses of the Northern Lights for real. You probably won’t want to look at all 1,700 photos, but they are glorious! http://www.northern-lights.no/

 

SILLY GAMES

Blocks
The object of this game is to move the red block around without getting hit by the blue blocks or touching the black walls. If you can go longer than 18 seconds you are phenomenal. http://tinyurl.com/56t9u

The Einstein Quiz
Albert Einstein created this quiz, stating that 98% of people in the world could not solve it. See if you are among the two percent of people in the world who can! (This kind of puzzle gives me a headache, so I didn’t even try! At least, that’s my excuse!) http://www.amfrontier.net/~bree/Einstein.html
