Google Earth, Now With Oceans and Mars

Google Earth is at once really cool, and really creepy. Seeing my house from space (and noticing that my car was in the driveway) makes me feel a bit watched. However, we showed the kids the top of one of favorite restaurants, and they recognized it from the parking lot. And, we also use it to see faraway places, like family's houses in Japan.

The newest addition to Google Earth are the oceans. That's really cool. But also - why? If you can think of something, here's a free version of Google Earth, Oceans (and Mars) included.

Free Stuff in Webkinz

I found out today that if the girls click on the ads in Webkinz, they might get free stuff. I have to say, that's a super smart marketing idea. It doesn't cost a dime to implement, and it compels lots of people to click on an ad they would otherwise ignore.

I know I'll be clicking on the ads to see what they give us.

Pokemon Christmas Shopping and Gifts

My son, my daughter and their two cousins have asked for Pokemon things on their Christmas list. What in the heck can I give them? So I made a list. Here are the things that a pokemon enthusiast might like for Christmas (and possibly not yet have.)

Pokemon drawing books are great for the artist who loves Pokemon. My six year old daughter would enjoy this.

The latest Pokemon board game is actually a DVD game. Can't decide to get your Pokemon enthusiast a game or a DVD? Here's the best of both worlds. All my kids would like this.

If your little Piplup can't get enough Pokemon, or wants to have something to do when his gameboy run out of batteries, here's a book chalk full of Pokemon - only if you can find them. In the same vein as Where's Waldo, Let's Find Pokemon offers hours of fun Pokemon seeking.

Has your Pokemon catcher got an iPod? If so, she can listen to ten years' worth of Pokemon music on her headphones. Over, and over, and over again.

This way, kids can enjoy Pokemon, even when they are asleep.

And finally, for those times it's hard to get the kids to put down the DS and do something, oh, I don't know, like reading... there's Pokemon chapter books.


Happy holiday shopping!
