The Hampster Dance
"This is it. The grand daddy of all animated dancing pages. First I’ll answer the obvious question. Yes, they know that ""hamster"" doesn’t have a ""p"" in it. ""Everything here is named with a ’p’ because the original Hampster Dancer is Hampton Hampster, a little hamster from Canada."" Hampster Dance is infectious. When I first saw it, I knew I had to show it to my son. That afternoon I learned that he had already seen it at school. Now I know what they really do during computer lab!"

Surfing the Net with Kids: Venomous Snakes
"I am often asked how I come up with topics. This idea grew from a reptile birthday party I attended last weekend with my daughter.

Narrowing my focus, the topic become venomous snakes, called hots by their keepers."
