How to Access Lynda’s Learning Database for Free. Hint: it involves your local library.

Podcast episode featuring the new hosts of Mythbusters!   The upgrade podcast by lifehacker. I am excited to hear from the new Mythbusters. I have loved Mythbusters for years and I am excited to see what the new hosts do.

Movies

The game Papers, Please now has a short film. I watched this game played as a lets play on YouTube and it was really interesting. This probably will be as well. Note: I am waiting to watch this with J.

AMC Theaters is offering a way for kids to see  A Wrinkle In Time.  Another movie with lots of People of Color including the Main character, Meg. I loved this book and I am super excited for this movie. A Wrinkle in Time comes out in theaters in the US March 9th.


Happy Purim!

The role-switching, drunken traditions of Purim.  This article talks about traditions of Purim, specifically in the Dutch colonies throughout the Caribbean around 1825.

If you are not familiar with Purim, here is some basic information in it. This page is about Reform Judiasm, btw.  Purim is a Jewish holiday where you celebrate the story of Queen Ester, who saves all the Jews from destruction by Haman. 

Enjoy this Purim Parody of Gaston.  Sadly it is not set to music, but it is still funny.
