I agree, edufire and the ilk are great platforms for what they do. I think that style has its place in the world always, guys like me (Full-Time worker) isn't looking for a fully structured online program. I think that change will come though..

The market will drive the market

I don't think it's quite there yet... this is a blazing new frontier, I know the idea of learning on the Internet has been around for a long time now. Just considering all the online degree programs out there. Homeschooling is still 100% in the hands of the parents though with no alternatives. The current generation of online learning websites are very open and free willed, which don't get me wrong is a great thing! However it limits them in the way that they will truly be a limited supplement to traditional home-schooling. I think the next generation (or the one after) may pick up on this and become more organized (Like the Online-Degree Programs)

I just weighed myself last night, I'm at 359, Weight limit for the Wii Fit is 330. So about 30 lbs is my quick goal. As far as a long term goal, that will be determined with time.

I was actually there yesterday... The Mac Store... but in Orlando, Portland was a bit of a drive.

The new Pros are sexy.. I have my savings plan made, and I will have one.. oh yes I will..

Take that picture you posted on the last post, but turn Obama into a Macbook Pro, and superimpose my face on McCain, and that would be pretty accurate.

You'd be surprised how close to the truth you are :P

Though, I've been good the last month or so, getting up at 8:00-8:30am ish!

I'm glad I signed up for the Monday one at 7:00pm, because the other one is at 11:00am, and I pretty sure that is before Koichi's normal wake up time, and he will probably be half sleeping, hehe

'The Lake House' was romantic, but it had a great sci-fi element to it. My wife and I both loved it, and I think Keanu was a good enough actor in that. I don't think the reviews gave it much credit, but we liked it. :)

aah, so my cat would fall into the category of yokai then. :) She is certainly NOT normal. haha

I've always thought of yōkai as naturally supernatural beings.

Godzilla is more of a man-made thing, isn't he?

Anyway, this reminds me that we should continue our yōkai series!

Re: Yokai Attack! The Japanese Monster Survival Guide Review

Captain_Ron — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 22:42:53 -0000

Not to argue, because I don't know...

Yokai is defined as a "spirit" "demon" or "monster" ... I'm pretty sure Godzilla would fall into that category, but this is of course assuming that my definition is correct.
