Though I am busy working on Model UN, I’ve had time to find some really interesting videos and links over the past couple of days. Enjoy!

Learning To Change (5:36)

Produced by CoSN, this video has some great quotes and is very well done. (Via Chris Lehmann)

Links, Links, and More Links

• Cubescape— a very cool little tool which allows you to easily create isometric art–created entirely in JavaScript using jQuery
• Spectra— MSNBC put together this very cool news visualization tool. I just wish I could use it as my screensaver.
• FuelFrog—with gas prices through the roof, this tool is really useful for tracking your mileage. No need to keep pen or paper in your car, since you can update through Twitter.
• Freebase—it’s like Google Base and Wikipedia had a child together.
• FontStruct is an uber-simple tool to build your own fonts. Plus, it’s free.
• k12 Online is calling for proposals. If you want to present at the coolest all-digital education conference around, you’ll need to submit by June 23
• Evernote is one of the coolest note-taking tools I’ve seen in a long time—and I’ve seen a lot. It includes OCR, web syncing, and mobile access. I’ve got some invites, so just ask in the comments.
• TypeRacer let’s you race against others on your keyboard. The ultimate in competitive typing.
• RescueTime helps you save time from the abyss of surfing.
• Woopra looks like it could be a very cool analysis service. It has live data, which Google Analytics lacks.

Well that’s all, folks. Hopefully this can hold you over till I get done with Model UN (I’m Russia, by the way). Until then, happy surfing!
