I recently learned about a cool site that allows one to make a video/slidshow for free online. It's a thirty second video that is compiled. It is great for presentations or just for fun. I made this video. It is called "Poof" and is about Harry Potter. It's really cool so check it out!

Book Blurb

"Going Bovine"
by: Libba Bray
Meet Cameron. Age: Sixteen. The Rest: Average. Pet Peeve: Life. His only goal is to get through high school, life, and then die with the least amount of effort possible, and so far, he's doing great.Or, at least he was until he contracted mad cow disease. Knowing that he is going to die suddenly puts a whole new spin on life. With the help of a punk styled angel named Dulcie, a midget named Gonzo who is obsessed with video games, and an ancient Norse God trapped in a yard gnome's body, Cam sets off on an adventurous roadtrip across a wacked out America that could, hopefully, provide a cure and gather some hope for the future. Wether you are a fan of the insane, or one who usually turns and flees at the first sight of it, this book will appeal to you. It gets to the heart of life and what matters most, love.
Libba Bray does a great job of commentating on America and its people. I definatly recommend this book even if it is a little hard to get through. The ending is worth it. The characters draw you in and you can relate to them.
Rated PG-13. Some profanity and sexual content...just a warning.
