Well, what can you say about an RPG player that inspires 7th grade science students to create something like this: static.flabber.net/files/scale-of-the-universe-2.swfAwe-some? I have tweeted about this thing and spread the word because, I believe, this little bit of work deserves more recognition than one teacher can give. I find it to be inspiring, educational and quite enjoyable to play with. Now that I have shared it, I hope you will Tweet it, Pin it, Blog it or otherwise share it with others you know or don't know if they will give you a listen. I cannot say sharing this with an enemy will create a new friend but it is worth a try.... I have read so much about the death of imagination within the RPG industry, and, I agree imagination is dead at the business level. So I especially dig that one of my players can inspire this imaginative work from her students (though she herself is ashamed of playing RPGs). Please pass the link around and share it? It deserves a few hits, IMHO.

Totally awesome, wasn't there another thing done like this except it took the perspective of looking from one actual area on earth and going down into the microscopic out to the galactic view from one point on the earth. As you went out it took the perspective from that point outwards out of the solar system out to the galactic level and then inwards to the microscopic. Can't remember the site.

I tweeted it to Neil deGrasse Tyson. As long as he's not getting a lot of tweets from his other half million followers today, perhaps he'll notice it.

I hit his Twitter three times just now. ;D (Now I will be banned) Thank you both for spreading the word about this. The twins who created this have a great, inspiring teacher who is also a terrific role-player. So recognition for the kids reflects well on the teacher and we can all use a cycle of positive energy. Thanks for sharing the positive!!

I saw she was checking out my LinkedIn profile but I thought that was because of my sexy belly and philosopher's receeding, shiny hairline. Everyone else is thrilled, but I'm a little bummed now. :-D PS As suspected. Thrilled people. DO you have a link to the show?

Holy crap, you know the people who made this? That's AWESOME! I looked at this a while back and thought it was great! Tell the people who made it that I salute them, and everyone I know does too.
