Hi everyone, I'm working on worksheets and activities that parents and teachers can download for their students. I think it will be a really cool way for kids to learn and build their math, science and reading skills. In the meantime, if you haven't checked out the videos yet, here's a link: https://www.dunesisland.org/ They are free to watch and download. Eventually, I'd like to have tie-in video games. Any ideas? :-)

Hi everyone, If you happen to have kids (or know someone who does) here's a brand new free resource that I hope is helpful.

Happy New Year, fellow creatives! Did everybody drink too much? I certainly hope so! ;-) Seriously, though, 2020 was pretty rough…I really hope 2021 is better. Anyhow, here are some brand new MP3 music tracks to kick off the New Year. 100% free to use with attribution: GOINGS-ON IN PIXEL TOWN (standard and looping) THE 8-BIT MARCH (standard and looping) WINDLE PIXEL’S 8-BIT CIRCUS (standard and looping) https://soundimage.org/chiptunes-4/ NEWS Continuing my quest to provide Ogg versions of all my music tracks, I just added my history music page to the list. https://soundimage.org/ancient/ If you aren't familiar with the Ogg format, it has several advantages over MP3 audio: -Ogg tracks sound fantastic…almost as good as the original WAV recordings from which they are derived…plus they are much smaller in terms of file size. -Game engines handle looping Ogg tracks better…MP3 tracks occasionally have to be edited at the looping point.
