WOW you are well rounded Dan!! My generation--i was avidly reading the Star Wars books before they became movies. So you know how fun I was to sit with when they finally came to theaters. LOL. Still some of my favorite books (and movies too.) Enjoyed the profile. WOW you are well rounded Dan!! My generation–i was avidly reading the Star Wars books before they became movies.

That's way cool about the Jedi Knight mod. Sounds like we've run in similar circles. Local BBS's, early internet use, Star Wars, Rock Band and so on. Would love to hear more about your experiences, sounds like you've got some great stories to tell. Nice job on the page! Wow! That’s way cool about the Jedi Knight mod.

I have been looking at lots of blogs lately and the ones from the US seems streets ahead of most I have seen from the UK (the exception being Ewan McIntosh in Scotland who has probably the best education blog in Europe). Your article on the proposal to ban web 2.0 applications is sadly one that has international resonance. A small survey conducted with school ICT coordinators in the UK found that almost 75% had blocked (or had no access to) any web 2.0 applications (educational or otherwise) via their school networks. On another tack I also thought I might ask to see if any of your students or colleagues might like to give our free maths games a try at www.tutpup.com They are head-to-head simple competitive maths and spelling games. We are still in beta, so the site changes quite often but we have about 30k registered users (mostly in the UK and Asia) but with an increasing number of schools from countries like China, Australia and New Zealand. I would be very interested in your feedback because I recently had an email from a school in Macon Georgia who wanted to sign up 500 students. Unfortunately I don't think we have any schools who have tried Tutpup in Carolina, so your input would be most helpful. Yours sincerely, Richard Taylor Director of Play @ Tutpup Soho W1D 4DT London UK Dear Dan,
