Military display over Tian'anmen Square

Today I visited Tian'amwn Square and was impressed by the color
display of China's military air presence.

It started just after 11AM with aircrafts trailing a stream of Red,
Yellow, and Blue smoke. What followed was a variety of aircraft in
unique formations both plane and helicopter.

The Twitter Experiment - Bringing Twitter to the Classroom at UT Dallas

UT Dallas History Professor Dr. Monica Rankin, @monicarankin, wanted to know how she could reach and include more students in the class discussion. She had heard of Twitter... The following is a short video describing her " Twitter Experiment " in the classroom with comments from students about the pros and cons of Twitter in a traditional learning environment.

Driving in China... random video 3

Lanes? We don't need no stinking LANES!!! One of the most difficult adjustments for Westerners in China is the beautiful chaos that is traffic. :) Here are two videos that give you a glimpse... (upload in progress) This first short video shows my taxi driver in Chengdu driving down the left side of a major road...in fact THE major road in Chengdu. The entire drive to the airport was some form of creative driving acrobatics, which you will get a taste of in this video... The second video is a typical Beijing moment in traffic...
