The Best Job in the World
Perhaps some of you have been following Tourism Queensland's intense campaign for the Best Job in the World.

Basically, they're going to pay someone approximately $100 000 to become an "island caretaker" on the beautiful Hamilton Island in Queensland, Australia.
The finalists for the job will fly to Australia tomorrow to be interviewed for the job in-person.
Among those finalists is Canada's Erik Rolfsen.
Canadians (and even non-Canadians) - let's rally behind him! Check out his blog here and show him your support:

Architect Studio 3D
In keeping with the theme of architecture....

Here is another cool thing I discovered while searching for interesting structures online for my grade 3 science class:

Now I am not much of a gamer, but when I found this I wasted an entire afternoon building houses for picky clients instead of finding more resources for my classes. I'm just sayin'.
I did introduce this to my students. A few of them have become addicts. I'm sure the parents of those children adore me right now.
Anyway, try it here: Architect Studio 3D
Trust me, you'll feel like a real live architect! It's too cool - albeit dorky.

Strange Buildings of the World
I've been teaching my grade 3 science students about structures. I really wanted to blow their mind with some of the architecture that is out there, and this is just one of the things I found to do it:

This is Why You're Fat

"This is Why You're Fat" is a website that collects pictures of the shock-inducing, disgusting concoctions that people are putting in their mouths these days. Sometimes it gets horrifyingly gross. If anything will make you want to eat healthy - it's this.
(Though, I did eat 2 big nasty cheeseburgers for supper today... I'm sure my heart hates me.) Hey, heart! Trust me! It could be worst buddy....
