Can We Discuss Abortion Without Politics?

Published by Danielle under Links, Prolife

Today at NCRegister, I’m talking about Bump+, the provocative made-for-internet television series:

Was this a real show? Were these real pregnant women leaving the “choice” about whether or not to allow their unborn babies to live in the hands of an internet audience? It all sounded like a bad made for TV movie, never mind a web TV series.

A little careful reading at their website, though, reveals that this is a “fake” reality television series. The characters we meet on the screen are played by actors—but we, the audience, really will determine the outcomes of these characters’ pregnancies. In other words, our votes will determine what choices the writers will have each of these characters make in this “fake” reality show.

What the Heck is a Tweeterview?

Published by Danielle under For Fun, Links

tweeterview

Apparently, a tweeterview is an interview on twitter (140 characters at a time) that you can watch live on the tweeterview site or read through later at your leisure (they are archived there).

I decided to figure out the rest of the details by participating in one myself. So I’ll be tweeterviewing my dear dear dearie of a friend Rachel Balducci, known to her twitter followers as “Ms. Testosterhome.”

It’s scheduled for 2:00 pm EST tomorrow (Tuesday, November 10) and you’ll be able to check it out (live or later) right here.

Free Stuff from NASA for Homeschoolers

Published by Danielle under Links, School

From Maureen Wittmann at Homeschool Connections:

Last week Domenico Ruggiero gave an awesome webinar on his work at NASA. It was a wonderful learning experience for my family. The great news is that the webinar was recorded and you can watch it yourself at: One Small Step for Parents, One Giant Leap for Homeschool Kids: Insights from a NASA Engineer.

PLUS, Domenico arranged with NASA to give away all kinds of neat NASA goodies — posters, decals, rulers, and more. To receive these giveaways drop Domenico an email. He’ll email back a form so you can choose what you would like to receive. But don’t wait! The deadline is August 19, 2009.

Get all the deets.

Modesty at Mass

Published by Danielle under Links

I hate “modesty” articles.

I hate the preachy “church lady” voice I hear in my head as I read most of them.

But lo and behold!

Benjamin Wiker has managed to write an article on modesty at Mass that is sensitive, entertaining, practical, and inspiring — all at once!
