Lindsey Stirling Concert

We interrupt this regularly scheduled school-night for this news:

Lindsey Stirling totally rocks in concert.

If you have no idea who this is, take a moment to educate yourself:



We just got back from seeing her in Fort Lauderdale, and it was awesome. She's so cool.

I didn't take any photographs or video, since I knew anything I would have taken would be crud compared to what I could find, and besides that I'd SEEN photos and videos of her, I wanted to see her in concert! So I did.

Absolutely must share this outfit she wore for the first "set" though. White satin asymmetric riding jacket with white feather trim on one flank and black sequins elsewhere. Just a fantastic piece. It was buttoned up the left abs with a huge black brooch. Absolutely adored it.

She also wore a white dress for Song of the Caged Bird, and the bustle was made of feathers! Way pretty. It was so lovely hearing her sing in person.

She also wore a brocade hood and vest piece that, to me, reminded me of the SCA. So definitely upholstery fabric, but glittery!

Seeing her dance and play in person was just, so wonderful. My face hurts from cheering and my feet hurt from dancing/jumping.

OMGOMG she did a Michael Jackson melange that was awesome. Even wore a silver sequined glove on her bow hand!

I'm going to share these photos, but they're not mine. They're available on Flickr and I'm posting them without permission, so poke in and see the photographer's page eh? I'll leave their links below the photo for credit and in the References at the bottom!

SO MUCH FUN. Now must to bed, I have much work to do in the morning.

Putting the pictures after the jump, since I've left them large size!

The back of the awesome jacket. Note the feathers on the left flank, and black roundlets up the same side. Such a great jacket.

A great photo. I snagged it to show the bust of the jacket, but the brooch came loose in this shot. Still a great shot.

The Caged Bird dress. Beautiful.

Singing! You can just barely see the white feather bustle. Such a beautiful dress! She sings beautifully too! So talented!

The brocade hood and vest. Had to be SO hot, but it twinkled gold when she danced and just looks amazing.  The hood stayed on the whole time; magical peacock hair.

School, Geekery, and Science!

Woops! I did not notice that my posts were getting stuck in "draft"! Here's what been published late: 20120805-11 Curiosity and News . News: KY Evolution, Medieval Germanic War . In Life: Img Src School has started again and I've got four classes, Organic Chemistry I, Genetics, Introduction for Teaching, and Introduction to Technology for Educators. For those of you of my generation let me emphasize that the latter is "intro to, technology for educators" and not "intro to technology, for educators". If you don't know the difference: instead of teaching me "Intro to Tech" (typing, how to use word, excel, etc, all that jazz) I'll be learning the programs that educators tend to use nowadays to organize students' grades, build digital classrooms, work through how the law pertaining to teaching interacts with the law pertaining to technology, etc. I'll be keeping two blogs for the class and uploading my final projec...

Star Trek Diplomas: All of them. I think.

Image
So... StarTrek.Com has released a Starfleet Academy Diploma.  I wanted to see if the design was supported by canon (because I'm a huge fact-check nerd) and in my quest collected what I think to be all the diploma designs officially used on the show. I'm still looking though, so if you find one I don't have here, please leave a comment! Confirmed authentic : Voyager epi "Non Sequitur". It appears to be the first time a diploma had been shown, if rabid Trekkers diligently duplicating it is any indication. If you register at the LCARSc site, you can download a free template to make your own! (ref: http://www.lcarsc.com/entry.php/34-Freebie-Friday-Starfleet-Diploma ) Confirmed authentic:  Enterprise : "Storm Front, Part II" Earlier in storyline, later in established canon. Found via http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Starfleet_Academy_majors Official StarTrek.Com diploma (Released 2012):  I can't find any epi screenshot t...

Classroom Architect

One of my assignments for Intro to Tech for Educators was to design a classroom (to certain specifications). I'm posting it here A: Because it's neat.  B: In case the file upload goes wrong.  C: Look! I made it a science classroom! Look's like the one I had when I was in 7th grade science! Bangarang!
