Greetings, readers!

The other day, I encountered a rather remarkable toy for children that I thought was quite interesting. It is a toy car motor, designed to teach children basic car maintenance skills.

I do not know how effective this toy actually is. After all, there might be concerns about how well the toy manufacturer created the engine. Also, some children might not like that particular type of toy. Additionally, it is expensive. ($120.) But the idea of having a toy that really teaches useful life-skills for later in life seems like an excellent idea.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your week!

I recently encountered a rather remarkable prank. One person with a roommate, in retaliation for a prank, pranked his roommate by using eerily targeted Facebook ads.

It was quite remarkable, and apparently very effective at achieving results.

I hope you have an excellent week.

Did you know you can gain a lot of insight about different cultures by reading travelling tips? And I am not referring simply to travelling tips for visiting other countries. No. I mean, tips for visiting your country. Assuming you are American, for example, there are three fascinating articles with tips for foreigners who visit America.

The first one provides insight about American culture. It is a list for Chinese who travel to America.

The next one I found remarkable, for its insight on both cultures, is a list for French travelling to America.

Finally, there is an article with tips for Russians travelling to America. I found this one amusing.

Greetings, readers! Joyous Thursday to you.

I recently encountered a remarkable article that discusses an interesting feat of engineering and car design. Somebody took a junk-heap car and, with the use of expanding foam and other supplies, sculpted it into a more sports-like car.

I do not know if this is structurally sound, or how well it would drive. But it looks like a very nice car.

Do you have any thoughts?

I recently encountered an article that amused me. It was from the people who produce the “Honest Trailers.”

Apparently, they are notorious enough, that they are cited by the creators of Captain America- Winter Soldier as part of why that movie was as good as it was. For, you see, the producers thought through all the questions that the Honest Trailers usually raise about movies, and drilled down on their plot to eliminate the plot inconsistencies that could have caused problems. The net result is that Honest Trailers was part of a YouTube channel that was actually useful. That assumes, of course, that creating good movies is useful. (As an actress on my home world, I would argue that it is, but I digress.)

The Webmaster is leaving her hometown today, and therefore she might be unavailable to generate her posts for the next few days. In the event that I run out of material I wish to share (which is unlikely but possible) and she does not post anything, you now might understand why.

But I digress. For you, if I were to guess, are here for your daily dose of fluff.

Let the fluff begin!

Today’s fluff deals with the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy. (Yes, I do mean the more recent, Peter Jackson version– not the animated version from many years ago.)

As many of you are aware, these movies were widely appreciated. Fans of the books enjoyed them (except for Two Towers, or “the plot-derailment which shall not be mentioned”) as did lovers of well-done action/adventure fantasy movies. One of the largest audiences, however, were music lovers.

Well, music lovers, you are in luck. A center in New York City will be showing the trilogy… with a live orchestra playing. These Music of Lord of the Rings appreciation days will be occurring next year. Tickets are available now, and the event looks quite dramatic.

If any of you do attend, I want to hear about it.

I just read about something quite fascinating that somebody from your world is working on. The person is working on making “tactile books” for visually impaired children, through the use of 3d printer technology.

The principal inventor has already created “Goodnight Moon” for children to be able to experience.

I think this is quite fascinating, and I hope his project meets with great success!

Greetings, readers!

Today, I am providing for you further evidence that Amazon has some of the best customer service around.

After all, what other company has customer service representatives who roleplay as Norse gods, in character?

I hope you have an excellent weekend.
