Costs of war

June 26, 2008

The Costs of war is an interesting short video illustrating the monetary costs of the war in Iraq. Personally, I think you must consider all the men, women and children that have paid with their lives to get any real idea of the costs of this war.

Boy Blue with his bobbycar

May 17, 2008

Swiss cow bells

May 4, 2008

Before I lived in Switzerland, I imagined it filled with the sound of cow bells. The reality isn’t far from this image. However, it isn’t only cows that wear these bells. I have seen horses wear them as well. Enjoy the sound of life in Switzerland!

Tour de Romandie

May 1, 2008

Yesterday, we found ourselves beside the road watching the Tour de Romandie. Below are some of the photos we took and one video. The part where all the bikes went by at once was pretty exciting for the children even if it didn’t last long. You can hear my kids in the background of the [...]

Sunset – Moonrise

April 20, 2008

Living in the mountains is living close to nature. I am continuously surprised by the beauty of the unexpected. We were walking in the mountains around our village when I turned to see the biggest moon coming up over the mountain. It was huge. It was breathtaking. I wish I had a better camera so [...]

Video on Flickr!

April 9, 2008

Flickr is allowing video to be uploaded to their website by pro account holders. The videos are more “long photos” than video meaning only the first 90 seconds of any video will be shown. Can I tell you how excited I am about the ability to upload my vidoes to flickr? It is a great [...]

A good laugh

April 5, 2008

Before you watch the Hillary video make sure you have watched at least the Sarah Silverman video (I am sure everyone living in the States has seen it) since the Clinton video is a copy cat of the Silverman video. Hillary Clinton – I’m f**cking Obama (copycat video of I’m f**cking Matt Damon) Sarah Silverman [...]

Tom Mabe’s revenge on telemarketers

March 6, 2008

Since moving to Switzerland, we have gotten our share of telemarketers. I get out of it easily enough since I can pretend I don’t understand or speak French. But, it is still annoying to run to answer the phone only to be greeted by a telemarketer. The first time I listened to this recording of [...]

Counting with your fingers in English vs. in French

February 27, 2008

In English, you start counting on your fingers with your index finger while in French you start with your thumb. I taught my bilingual children to count in English and French starting with the correct finger depending on the language. When they count in each language they switch their starting finger without thinking about it. [...]

The power of the Internet during this presidential campaign

February 19, 2008

…Is incredibly important. It isn’t only the mainstream media that presidential candidates have to worry about. Youtube and blogs have thrown some new hurdles into the race. I think it is interesting that Internauts are grabbing hold during this campaign and creating a new way to “get the message out”. Check out the videos below. [...]
