A Brief Digression: "Frozen" Coding

Hey, Frozen-Fans in the frozen Midwest,

I hab a code in by doze. 
(No, not really. What I mean is...)

Here's how to write computer code that makes a snowflake! I'm posting the introduction video below, but go here to complete the whole project.

You also might like the Geek Gurl Diaries YouTube channel which has another way to do the same coding... 
(you have to download a program but I can talk you through that or we can do it when I get home)
and also posts all kinds of related videos. 
Despite its "Gurl" name, it's plenty fun for boys too, so my son, 
you too can be a Geek Gurl Boy.

A Brief Digression: ORIGAMI-O-RAMA!

Hey, does anybody over there like to fold origami? 

Wait, did I hear a yes? (I'm not sure—I'm kind of far away.)

I SAID, DOES ANYBODY OVER THERE LIKE TO FOLD ORIGAMI?!?!?!?

Okay, good, because I may have just found the coolest origami website EVAR (that's web-speak for really really ever to infinity):



And actually, you can click subscribe on the YouTube page (use my email address: erinmerritt1@gmail.com, and I'll let you know when something new is posted), or you can just bookmark the page
check it whenever you want—or you might just want to go straight to this one—ninja darts (which also links to how to make the ninja dart target). So. many. options...
