Voices from the New American Schoolhouse explores life outside the usual educational box. Narrated exclusively by students, the film chronicles life and learning at the Fairhaven School in Upper Marlboro, MD which practices an undiluted form of freedom and democracy that turns mainstream education theory on its head. Filmmaker Danny Mydlack enjoyed unrestricted access over a two-year period to produce this candid and unblinking encounter with kid-powered learning. Added on April 19, 2006, 05:37 AM by dmydlack

Blurb is a service that allows you to create (real, offline) books from blogs and other content, and buy them for yourself or sell them to others. Prices start at $30 for a 40-page hardcover coffee-table book with a custom dust jacket, and go up from there. Look for a press release announcing the service tomorrow (Wednesday).

Cinemazement has a video review of the TomTom Go 510 GPS unit. Actually, the video is more of a demonstration of the 510 than a review, but it's interesting nonetheless. Their thoughts: bluetooth cellphone calling is mediocre but useful, driving directions are sometimes off, and the touch sensitive screen has easy to navigate menus. The unit doesn't require a computer to set it up at first, which is a nice change from some of the older competitor's models that has you installing maps before it's usable.

This Stone Golem was constructed using about 5 foam mattresses, over 50 sticks of hot melt glue, and 8 cans of grey and black spray paint. The foam is glued in large thick sheets (approx 20cm thick) to a fabric bodysuit, and the deep cracks are carved into the foam surface. The bodysuit has a zip up the back to allow the wearer to enter it, and the zip is concealed by abutting foam. The soles of the feet are made of corflute that has been sliced in half to expose corrugations that act as grip. The arms are about twice the length of the wearer's arms, and act as swinging weapons made entirely of soft foam. The golem took about 100 hours of work to construct, between 3 people. On its first appearance, the Stone Golem sent twenty bold adventurers into a hasty retreat without so much as touching them.
