NOVA | Cracking the Maya Code | PBS

I accidently stumbled on this show the other day and I’m so glad that I did.  Then I did a search on it and found this site on it to add even more and give it some interaction.  The ancient Mayans  were absolutely amazing.  They understood so much and I wonder just how far ahead of their time they were.  As you go through this and see some of the discoveries that have been made, you’ll be amazed too.

I think that we’ve all heard of the renowned Mayan calendar and its impeccable precision.  I find it fascinating as we learn more of just what they were tracking on their calendar and what events had importance to them. 

Anyway, check out some of the episode that I watched here online to see what all I’m talking about here.

Amazon Web Services

As a way to kind of make some money on the side, we are setting up ways for people to shop on Amazon through our blogs and family web site. Anytime someone finds an item that they would like to purchase, we receive a little commission from it. Naturally, the more the merrier. So, if you are going to shop and buy something from Amazon anyway, do so through us! :)
The widget in the right column of my blog here is set up to suggest items contextually based on my posts. On our site here, we have set up a way for people to search items or snag something from the Goldbox. We are looking through some of the other ways to provide more services as well. You'll notice them as they come about. Anyway, happy shopping!
