This guy turned his toy drone into A Star Wars TIE Fighter. Modeled after the TIE Interceptor from Return Of The Jedi, this guy says it took about 15 hours to design and “at least as many” to get it flying right. In the end, at least 14 propellers were sacrificed for the cause — including a few that sent carbon shrapnel shooting into the walls of his garage.

Our memory verse this week is a little longer!
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil. ~ I Peter3:12
The music of the week last week was one of my favorite. You may or may not know that I am a musical theatre buff. I not only collect musical theatre music, posters, etc but I have also been in a couple of musical productions. I am also a huge fan of Lord of the Rings (much to my wife’s chagrin) so when I heard they were doing a musical version of Lord of the Rings, I knew that the music would be awesome. And while the production never did actually go anywhere beyond Toronto and London, the music is still one of my favorites. So last week, I played some selections from the musical and showed students a couple videos from the production to give them a sense of how the music played in the theatre. I love giving students experiences like this; to see and hear music in a wide variety of contexts.
