Dragonbox trailer7/27/2023 ![]() When I showed it to them and saw how easily they picked it up, I was blown away. It really hadn't occurred to me at all that I could teach beginning algebra to my third-grader, let alone my five-year-old. But I know it's something that a lot of students have trouble with - and certainly not something that is usually taught before middle school, sometimes not until high school. I've always been good at math myself and algebra was always one of my favorites. When I first started playing with DragonBox to see how it worked, I was amazed at how simple it was. You also get another star if you have the right number of cards at the end - that is, you've simplified the equation as much as possible. and then finally you get something like that screenshot near the top of the post, where the trays have faded out completely and there are just the hint of card outlines, and - voila! - you're solving algebraic equations.Īside from isolating the box, you're also challenged to complete the level in as few moves as possible, which gets you a an extra star. Once you get to World 3, the cards are no longer scattered willy-nilly in the two trays, but are arranged in a line, with plus signs between them and an equals sign between the two trays.Īnd then the cards once again turn into numbers and letters instead of little pictures. So you isolate the "x." Sometimes instead of weird little creatures there are letters on the cards like "c" or "b" and sometimes there are things that look like dice, white squares with some number of dots on them. Sometimes there's no box, but there is a little white square with an "x" on it, and it's sparkling. These, of course, are fractions - multiplication and division - but you don't need to know that to play the game, either. And you'll learn that a one-dot vanishes when you drag it onto a card it's attached to (with a little grey dot between them). ![]() (This, of course, simulates adding the same number to both sides.) And then, a few levels on, you learn that you can flip these extra cards from day to night (and vice versa) before dragging them onto the trays.Īs the game progresses, you'll start seeing cards that are above and below each other, with a bar in the middle - and you'll learn to cancel these out by dragging one onto the other, which then turns into a one-dot. Then, you'll start to get some "night" versions of cards - drag these onto the "day" versions and they become green swirls, which you already know how to handle.Īfter you've gotten past several levels of moving cards around and tapping on swirls, you'll get a few cards down at the bottom which you can drag onto the trays - but whenever you drag a card onto one side, you have to also drag a copy to the other side as well. At first you do this simply by tapping the green spirally cards, which vanish when you tap them. The app gives very minimal instructions in a hand-written font with arrows pointing to relevant spots on the screen, but it tells you to get the box by itself. ![]() Somewhere on the screen there will be a little box with a star on it, sparkling and glowing. You are presented with a big screen with two trays, each containing a number of "cards" with different images on it. (They aren't all typical dragons - One starts off more like a fish, one looks like a squid, and so on.) ![]() I was told that the dragons were all drawn by a fourteen-year-old girl, and they're a lot of fun. It's a very tiny incentive (along with earning stars) but they really want to beat the next level to watch the dragon grow into its next form. While this in itself has nothing to do with algebra, I mention this because my kids love this. There are five "worlds," each with twenty levels, and as you progress through the levels the "dragons" hatch and grow into their full-sized versions. First, a bit about how DragonBox actually works. ![]()

Drawing rat fink7/27/2023 ![]() ![]() What a great idea! Now I was really getting excited. Potato Head” style with mix and match parts. This would allow users to make their own Hot Rod Monster “Mr. He replied back quickly that he was digg’n the elements, but also had a great suggestion to make multiple monster heads and facial features as separate elements. With my rough sketch ideas on paper I scanned and saved them as a pdf file and sent them off to Jeff to see what he thought of the elements so far. I also use a light box and a fresh sheet of paper to refine and clean up my sketch even further if necessary. Then I draw over the blue sketch with a mechanical pencil to refine it more and add more detail. The light blue lead of these pencils help me stay loose and general with my sketch so I can get the basic look right and leave the details for the next step. I’m in the habit of using col-erase pencils to rough sketch my ideas on plain copy paper. Next I took the strongest elements on my list and did a rough sketch of each, constantly referencing my inspiration images and imagining how those elements should look in this art style. Some of the elements on my list were chrome pipes, flames, smoking tires, gear shifters, flying eyeballs, and Hot Rod Monsters of course! Next I did a little brainstorming and made a list of possible elements for this theme. I ended up with four or five key examples of his work which I printed out and pasted above my drawing table for inspiration. I always get sucked in to learning more about the artist, and in this case, ended up spending some time checking out his crazy car creations and wild monster hot rod themed illustrations. Rat Fink was an anti-Mickey mascot that represented Roth’s attitude and style in the 50’s and 60’s. I also checked out the official Ed Roth web site. Since we wanted to be inspired the art style of Ed Roth I did a Google image search for inspiration. Here’s the design process for this fun vector pack.įor the record, here’s my list of tools I’m working with: We decided to concept some hot rod elements which later turned into a vector set inspired by the art style of Ed “Big Daddy” Roth. A few weeks prior to writing this, Jeff Finley and I discussed possibilities for the next Arsenal vector pack. There is a Rat Fink poster on the blue wall at stage left in The Pee-wee Herman Show.Hi, Philip Hepler here from 316 Graphics. The song was featured in the film Beavis and Butthead Do America, along with an animated sequence reminiscent of Ed Roth's artistic style.įink's, a bar-and-grille in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is named in tribute to Rat Fink. The band White Zombie produced a song titled "Ratfinks, Suicide Tanks, and Cannibal Girls". West Coast and in Australia (Roth drew Rat Fink artwork for the album Junk Yard by the Australian band The Birthday Party). Roth's lucrative idea to paint hideous monsters - including the Rat Fink of the title - on children's T-shirts.Ī Rat Fink revival in the late 1980s and the 1990s centered on the grunge/ punk rock movements, both in the U.S. Ogling fins and drooling over fenders, the movie traces the colorful history of the hot rod from speed machine to babe magnet and, finally, museum piece and collector's item. Jeannette Catsoulis reviewed in The New York Times: Rat Fink and Roth are featured in Ron Mann's documentary film Tales of the Rat Fink (2006). Sloane and Steve Fiorilla, who illustrated Roth's catalogs. Other artists associated with Roth also drew the character, including Rat Fink Comix artist R.K. Rat Fink continues to be a popular item to this day in hot rod and Kustom Kulture circles in the form of T-shirts, key chains, wallets, toys, decals, etc. The initial run of the kit was from 1963 to 1965, but the Rat Fink kit, along with Roth's other creations, has been re-issued by Revell over the years. Also in 1963, the Revell Model Company issued a plastic model kit of the character. ![]() The ad called it "The rage in California". Rat Fink was advertised for the first time in the July 1963 issue of Car Craft. His T-shirt designs inspired an industry. By the August 1959 issue of Car Craft, "weirdo shirts" had become a craze, with Ed Roth at the forefront of the movement. Roth began airbrushing and selling "weirdo" T-shirts at car shows and in the pages of hot rod publications such as Car Craft in the late 1950s. He is often seen driving cars or motorcycles. Rat Fink is usually portrayed as either green or gray, comically grotesque and depraved-looking with bulging, bloodshot eyes, an oversized mouth with sharp, narrow teeth, and wearing red overalls with the initials "R.F." on them. Roth conceived Rat Fink as an anti-hero to Mickey Mouse. Rat Fink is one of several hot rod characters created by artist Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, one of the originators of Kustom Kulture of automobile enthusiasts. ![]()

Bayonetta smash7/26/2023 ![]() ![]() Bayo was that, but stapled onto a character that was already godlike even without the death combos. Characters that kill off a single interaction have always been highly contentious, see: Melee Icies, Ult Luigi. Successful 0-death combos were rare at high level, but their existence meant that you were basically never winning against Bayo, since she could delete stocks in seconds. In a 2-stock game, losing a full stock off one read is ridiculously overtuned. She could combo you off the top of the screen from essentially anywhere on stage at any percent if she could read your DI/SDI. The real reason I think Bayo was so hated was because of her playstyle. Her absurd strength was definitely a factor, but characters like Brawl Meta Knight and 64 Pika were as strong or stronger than Bayo and didn't receive nearly as much hate.

Solar system stamp7/26/2023 ![]() ![]() Illustrated nearby is a representative philatelic use that I find particularly appealing because it is franked with an intact Exploring The Solar System sheet.ĭue to space limitations, the sheet selvage was folded over the top of the envelope when it was affixed. Even so, there aren’t that many covers out there. Specialized catalog the sheet with an errant hologram is dashed because there isn’t enough market data to establish a value at present.Īs you might guess, the Space Achievement issue was targeted directly at stamp collectors.įor all practical purposes, this means the vast majority of Space Achievement postal history is philatelic in nature. The imperforate sheet is valued at $2,000 in the Scott U.S. Just two errors are known: an imperforate sheet (Scott 3410f), and a sheet with a hologram from one of the $3.20 Escaping The Gravity Of Earth stamps applied (3410g). Stamp Yearbook, George Amick writes that the sheet selvage “depicts a NASA montage consisting of the ringed planet Saturn and a few of its moons, with the heavily cratered Dione in the foreground.” For sheer visual effect, this nifty sheet is hard to beat. In addition, the pentagonal arrangement of the five stamps and the congruence of their shape with the number of stamps in the sheet appeal to my sense of symmetry and balance. My favorite is the top stamp in the sheet, which pictures a total solar eclipse with a halo-like corona. The stamps feature different dramatic images of the sun. Of the five Space Achievement issues, I’ve always had a particular fondness for the Exploring The Solar System sheet containing five $1 pentagonal stamps (Scott 3410). An uncut Space Achievement press sheet is valued at $140. Today, a complete set of five sheets is valued at $135 in the Scott Specialized Catalogue of United States Stamps and Covers. These small print quantities, combined with rather lackluster sales, eventually pushed up the values of the sheets in the retail marketplace. This total included 305,000 uncut press sheets. Some collectors groused at the cost: the 15 stamps, with face values ranging from 60¢ to $11.75, weighed in with a total face value of $38.50, and there wasn’t a single stamp to satisfy the then-current 33¢ rate.Ī total of 1,695,000 of each souvenir sheet was ordered.
