EG Introduction to Gameschooling
Heard about Gameschooling? You are probably already doing it! Here’s my Introduction to Gameschooling, both Tabletop AND Video games.
Jazz Up Your TableTop: “Oom-Pah!”
Today is a very busy day. 30 April is both International Jazz Day. Unfortunately, right now we are a little limited in our ability to celebrate, party, and all that jazz. In fact, right now we are spending a lot more time inside and playing tabletop games. So I thought it […]
Total Lunar Eclipse: 31 January 2018
Remember the last Lunar Eclipse visible in Australia? Last year, in 2017, just before the Solar Eclipse that sent everyone in the United States crazy (or at least a little crazier than usual)? Remember how it was at 3am? There was nothing partial about my dislike for waking up at […]

Sydney Writer’s Festival
Sinister’s school class had an excursion yesterday. All the way over to the Sydney Writer’s Festival.

For those minions who do not have pre-teen spawnlings reading and doodling all over […]
Horrible Histories: Pirates in the Museum!
Horrible Histories know how to make pirates grossly appealing to kids – even at the Museum! Make it honest; Make it gross; Make it fun. Maritime Museum (Sydney) has all of that but only until 27 Apr 2016.
Hour of Code 2015: Minecraft
This is EG Inc’s first time participating in the Hour of Code. So why are we doing it? Because I’m curious. And why not?
