I am amazed at how fast this year went by, this video opened my eyes and for the firsttime i really see all the stuff i missed this year. in this video i didn't know that any of this stuff even happened. this video explains some amazing and horrible things that happened in 2010. i love how the video ends in a question on what will happen in 2011. Now i can not wait for 2011 to start and this time i will not miss anything this time.

All ears

This mickey mouse game is an attempt to to bring a famous mouse back into the spot light. This game will appeal to the little ones as an adventure games, playing as mickey mouse which is always fun. also this game will be attracted to the heavy loyalty that mickey mouse has behind him. i am not interested in this game at all because i am not a fan of mickey mouse and i don't think i ever will be. I was a fan when i was little but i grew out of that stage and I don't think i will ever go back.

Christmas trees: Do you prefer real or artificial?

Real or Artificial, is always the question when it come to Christmas trees. The pros of artificial Christmas tress i believe out weigh the cons. because they last for years and don't smell and no major clean up of pine needles. But sometimes it is all about the spirit of Christmas to get a real tree, also many people make a living on growing and selling Christmas trees. But every years a new one can cost a lot and a artificial tree could be a option to save money. Also if you are like me and you get a big tree every year for your house they can get expensive. So artificial tree would be right for me and my mom loves to decorate the tree so it looks exactly the same as a real tree.

Are we Digital Dummies?

Are we digital dummies explains that we are to attached to the technology that we own ex: our phone and laptops. i really enjoyed this video because it opened my eyes and made me realize we are to attached to our phone's and computers way to much. Cell phones almost have total control of us because when ever they go off we all jump and race to see what it is. this video provides great examples that show situation that were are in and our attention in totally on our cell phone's and nothing else, putting many people in danger.

Rogers Buying The Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto FC, and the Toronto Rapters

If Rogers buys the three Toronto teams from the Teacher's union I don't think this will be good but could possibly happen because, the major reason that the deal might go through is that Teacher's have taken the most advantage of the teams as possible. By have the price of tickets and food at the highest price they could possible be. With the teacher's union take to full advantage of these teams they might think it will be time to bail and if they do sell it to Rogers they will have total control of the teams. wich  would be bad for my family becasue i dont think Rogers would not allow CBC to brodcast the leafgames anymore becasue Rogers own Sports netconnected.    

A Teacher Tried to Ban Pencils and Pens in school.

i think this is ridicules, there are way more dangerous things in the classroom for example the stapler and scissors. For a teacher to do this and be serious about it scary that there might be something wrong with the teacher's head. I am glad that the school did not allow the teacher to fallow through with the teachers rule and students are still aloud to bring in their own pencils and pens.
