News - Online K-12 curriculum now available for home schoolers: http://makeashorterlink.com/?B51C23EB1

Comment - This article says this is the first home-school curriculum that covers K all the way through 12. FYI for my home schooling friends!

News - WWII Online is a cool-looking online game: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/worldwariionline.html

Comment: Thanks to Tim for passing this along. It has a PC version as well.

I'm interested in the fact that the game focuses on the 1939-1940 time frame, with the equipment used then. Nice change from the Tigers and Shermans that most WWII games use.

I'm also keeping an eye out this fall for the online version of CivIII. With broadband connections spreading rapidly, online games will become the norm. No more beating up on the stupid computer. Soon, I'll beat up on stupid human opponents (more likely, get beaten upon.)
