Club Penguin meets YouTube
Saturday, February 9th, 2008Fans of the penguin would probably appreciate this a tad more than I. The video follows a sad penguin, to the tune of “Bad Day.” But I am in awe of the innate ability — even for kids, especially for kids – to mash up worlds online.

Build your vocabulary
Thursday, December 13th, 2007Yesterday, Merriam-Webster announced that the 2007 Word of the Year is W00t (note the two zeros, not o’s). It’s an expression of joy, like “yay,” that is common in gamer-speak. The word was voted on by visitors to the company’s Web site and does not guarantee the word will be included in the next edition of […]

Today I try to log on with 14,698 […]
Neopets.com
Tuesday, September 11th, 2007I play on Neopets.com for about on and off for about 1-2 hours a day. It is so fun. You can play games, chat with other owners, talk to your friends or just explore. I think people should try Neopets. People will love it.
