Well, it is now November of  2012 , so time for another update!
My vertical spacing is acting weird so read down to "The End"

I tweet at:

@PeteLaberge

A lot is Re-Tweeting stuff I found that I liked.  A lot is favourite quotes, and cartoons.   

NB:  I use Canadian/British Spelling a lot, hence Colour and Favour. 

Here are some people you should look into:

I start with a lot of detailon just two people, but please read on through as there there are a number of links to other people down below:

The History Teachers.     Amy V Burvall & Herb Mahelona
 HONOLULU, Hawaii, USA
(Way down below, is a summary of some of Amy Burvall's most VIP kinks.)

Yes, folks, The Teacherz are Good & Legitimate.  They're real teachers, teaching real stuff.  (Well sorta.)   Their music & videos are very good.

Even if you're not a high school student, you can learn from them.  College & University students use their videos.  Fellow teachers & professors have praised them.  Grade school students use the videos, too. Adults, long done with their educations have enjoyed them & learned from them!  Their Youtube site has over 23,000 subscribers.  One video, French revolution, based on Lady Gaga,  has over 1,061,600 views.  My personal favourite is the Story of Beowulf....

Their music is listened to in Russia.  Their songs (especially Revolution) have been translated into many languages, (6 or 8, I think) even Chinese!  Their music has traversed the Chinese Internet Firewall, and is being listened to in China.

You don't find that happening every day!  This means there is work, talent, beauty, professionalism, entertainment, and educational value in them.  There is also something else:  Pure listening & viewing pleasure, and joi de vivre!

To see all 52 awesome history videos, go here:

Their Official TEDX Hawaii Presentation, Nov 2011:  
(This will awe you, and make you laugh, and cry, and think.)

The Creativity Salon Interview  (With the late great Neil Tepper)
Ignore the first 1.5 mins, as it is some sort of commercial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmcuo1Uf_TE&feature=player_embedded#

Here is one young lady who was inspired by them to make her own videos:
Gads, she has too much talent.

If you want to see some other neat videos go see:

Another good history link (Hip Hughes, Buffalo, NY), not related to the history teachers), is here:
Lectures and rants, history, civics, crazy jokes, music.....
(See down below a bit for more information.)

Here is a good math/science link (Mr.Edmonds), not related, either), is here:
http://www.youtube.com/user/dsecms

Then, there is Dan Rojas at Green Power Science on YouTube
(Kids, do NOT try this stuff at home, ok!)
http://www.youtube.com/user/GREENPOWERSCIENCE/videos

And if you are into farming...  This guy has some fascinating stuff....

Also, if all you want is Amy Burvall's Voice Blowing your Mind Away, sans Video:
You MUST listen to:
"Dream a Little Dream" and "If You go Away", which prove that this insane woman is wasting her time trying to "teach".  She can sing real songs, not just her parodies.  Her voice is.....   Well....   "Awesome"  is simply too small a word.   If "Awesome" was  a mere Nuclear explosion, the word to describe her voice would require a supernova....

Here is Amy Burvall's Twitter Feed:
Again, wild stuff.  A lot of it is educational related. BUT NOT ALL!  (I must comment:  Look, she has a number of weird pet theories, so you have to put up with that, to get the good stuff.  Just ignore her crazy stuff.  The good stuff is WELL worth it.)
