Blame it on...

The other day, I noticed that I was behind on my graduate class assignments (nothing new & still am) but, thanks to a school holiday, I had a whole entire day to catch up! I started by using my newly established RSS reader, which was overflowing with new blog entries just waiting to be read. As I worked my way through the pile I came upon a wonderfully written and thoughtful blog entry by Margherite: “Connectivism the new constructivism?”

Well… her entry had me thinking… she mentioned Soylent Green…great movie … I haven’t seen it in a very long time… wonder if I can find the film online… hmmm…Google search ….wow…the entire film on Video Google …. Only 97 minutes ….I have the entire day….

So I watched the entire movie …which took longer than 97 minutes …it has to download… then that had me thinking … about the Twilight Zone… that episode … “To Serve Man”… similar to Soylent Green in some ways…very different in others….I wonder if I can find that…sure enough…Video Google again… only 25 minutes this time!

So bad news…the whole entire day was squandered (movies and kids) and blogs were not produced! Good news…I successfully used Video Google…not once but twice! (first time…I’ve only U-Tubed before).

I do recommend you read Margherite’s blog entry…however…do not do as I have done…
