It must be the cellphone. You get to play neat word games like Wordle. You get one word each day to solve. It’s really taken off in New Zealand.
For the first time, the University of Illinois Springfield hosted Camp Invention, a national summer enrichment day camp program for first through sixth graders designed to foster innovation and creativity while also building self-esteem, teamwork, persistence, and goal-setting skills.
I went to see The Farnsworth invention play on Broadway and it was good. Really good.
It was everything I love Sorkin for – witty/sharp dialogue, didactics, and uninhibited idealism. This, coupled with the recent movie Charlie Wilson's war is why I love this guy so much.
Yesterday I was reading up on the new Indiana Jones movie, and this is what I found out: "On July 12, 2007, Variety reported Sorkin had signed a deal with Dreamworks to write three films. The first of the trifecta is to be called The Trial of the Chicago 7 and will be directed by Steven Spielberg." Awesome!
(PS quite incidentally I was wearing The West Wing T-shirt today too. :) )

Fourth-grade inventors are knee-deep in Invention Convention preparations. A recent student-parent workday brought inventions several steps closer to finalization. Here is a sneak peek of the work that is going into these inventions. They will be on display at the Invention Convention on Thursday, Feb. 21, 2013.
Fourth-grade students displayed their engineering skills during the annual Westminster Invention Convention held on Feb. 21 in the Lower School gym. The event was part of National Engineer’s Week.
Westminster has hosted the Invention Convention for more than 16 years, with fourth-grade teacher Kathy Buurma having organized each event. After learning about famous inventors, the students are tasked with determining a problem for which they would like to find a solution. The students work on the invention in class, and parents are invited to attend class to assist with construction. Four adults outside of the student’s immediate family test each invention before it is submitted for judging. The judges consider the reviews of the testers and the marketing of the invention in addition to the invention itself. Inventions this year include an extreme laptop case, a cat bed and breakfast and a lighted sweater for dogs.

From the "Inventions" file (which I started keeping in a blank book at around age 9).
Text reads: "Desk Organiser - Tired of a messy desk? This invention will help a lot. It inserts into most standard desk drawers."
The little "sections" in the organizer are labeled: I included categories for "pencils", "books", and "paper", and three sections simply labeled "other".
This is admittedly a fairly boring "invention" (not to mention something that has probably already existed since time immemorial) but I do remember drawing it, for the main reason that the house I grew up in seemed to be full of drawers crammed with random junk. Seriously. I remember getting in trouble once for grabbing what I thought was a scrap of newsprint from the kitchen drawer one evening to scrawl down a phone number on, only to find out that I'd gotten orange Magic Marker all over some famous British actor's autograph. What the autograph was doing in the door with the Scotch tape and the scissors and the hamster food coupons I have no clue, but I digress.
I guess I figured that the world was lacking in drawer organizers, otherwise we'd have had them.

So I helped my parents clean out the garage over Labor Day weekend! ...we literally had everything AND the kitchen sink!! So many long, lost treasures uncovered!

Want to extend the life of your expensive footwear? Simply attach these little umbrellas to your feet. This is one product from the Chindogu line of weird Japanese inventions.
What is Chindogu??
Weird inventions are an actual art form in Japan called Chindogu. It’s a collection of both bizarre and brilliant gadgets that are supposed to solve annoying little problems of modern life either at home, work, leisure or commuting in traffic.
These weird inventions are all real and have actually been made BUT these must never be patented or sold. This would break a sacred rule of Chindogu.
A proper Chindogu is also supposed to solve one problem and then at the same time create at least one bigger problem. They also must work but at the same time be entirely impractical. I guess it’s a hobby of sorts and a pretty weird one at that but that!
Today i am presenting you a list of cool and awesome inventions. These gadgets are so wonderful that you want to buy all of them. Lets have a look on these gadgets and inventions and tell me in comments below what you like or dislike? On This Page.
The invention. Made to pop baloons, but his also has games and Tron stuff for music. Quite the inventor.
