Over on the iTest Blog, I just reported that the 2007 iTest is partnering with a school from Valandovo, Macedonia to have a number of student teams from that school participate, as well as bring iTest content into their classroom curricula over the next couple of months after the exam concludes. Very positive story leading up to this year's launch of our main mathematics event.

Think you know something about music? Think you have improvisational skill?
Watch this.
I've posted about Imogen Heap before, but finding this video on YouTube deserves special mention.
If I were teaching a music course at a high school or university, this little video would be required viewing on day one. The sheer artistry involved here, from the vocal melodies throughout to the complete mastery of her equipment, as well as the equally strong performance, is incredible. Toward the end, just take note of how much of a soundscape that exists, created by just that one woman standing in front of a handful of people in a studio.
Brilliant work.

2007 iTest Video Contest rules and requirements now posted over on the iTest blog. I am VERY excited about this...should be interesting to see what students all over the country cook up for this thing!
In other news, just about moved in to the new house. A little more to go and we'll be done ... unpacking has already begun and we've got a series of small tasks that have to all be taken care of within the next few weeks. It's exciting to own a new house! I'll probably post some pictures on here at some point as we get different rooms complete.
