0:00:13 > 0:00:18# What a wonderful kind of day We can learn to work and play
0:00:18 > 0:00:20# And get along with each other
0:00:20 > 0:00:24# You gotta listen to your heart Listen to the beat
0:00:24 > 0:00:30# Listen to the rhythm of the street Open your eyes! Open your ears!
0:00:30 > 0:00:34# Get together, make things better By working together
0:00:34 > 0:00:38# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart
0:00:38 > 0:00:43# Believe in yourself For that's the place to start

0:00:53 > 0:00:59# What a wonderful kind of day, hey! What a wonderful kind of day, HEY! #
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hey! DW!
0:01:02 > 0:01:06- Hey!- Whoa!
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- Have you ever been with someone who...- Wait! Wait! Slow down!
0:01:14 > 0:01:19Arthur is saying, "Have you ever been with someone who..."
0:01:19 > 0:01:22OK, you can keep going!
0:01:24 > 0:01:27..someone who has to write down everything that happens?
0:01:27 > 0:01:32- "Someone who has to write down everything that happens?"- Stop!
0:01:32 > 0:01:34I'm TRYING to play tennis!
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Arthur misses the shot.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Your backhand needs some work.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- ARTHUR GRUNTS - Arthur grunts when he serves.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48What?! No, I don't!
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Now Arthur is losing his cool.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52I am not losing my cool!
0:01:52 > 0:01:57I just don't like you writing down every single thing I do!
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- Argh!- Arthur, I think you would do a lot better
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- if you pay more attention to the game.- Ohh!
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Excuse me! Excuse me! I have an announcement!
0:02:16 > 0:02:21This holiday weekend, I will be going to Costa Rica!
0:02:21 > 0:02:24If you want to learn more about my exciting adventures,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26you can visit my new blog.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Thank you, Muffy. I'll try to swing by. Can I bring anything?
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Blog is short for weblog.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37When you blog, you write your thoughts in a computer file
0:02:37 > 0:02:40and post them on a website for others to read.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Fascinating. I have to write this down.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46As I was saying, even though none of you can afford to come with me,
0:02:46 > 0:02:51don't feel bad - just read the Muffington Post!
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Hey, hey, I'm Trip. Can I help you find something?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27A USB port, peripherals, MP3s?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30I'm looking to get a new computer.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33One that can connect me to...the... internet.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36They all do that. What kind of connection do you have now?
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Er...none, actually. I do have a telephone.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47A newcomer like you should start with our most...user-friendly version.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51It's pricey, but well worth the expense.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52All right, class.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Your next project will involve research on a favourite author.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Now...- I'm back!
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- How was Costa Rica?- Was it rainy?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Was it as great as you said in your blog?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04How did you get to blog so much?
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Now, now. I know you have lots of questions about my trip,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11and I promise to answer them all later - on my blog.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Did you need to learn Costa Rican?
0:04:13 > 0:04:18Binky! They speak Spanish there. I think.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Anyway, just post your questions on my blog.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Even though I'll only have time to respond to the best ones.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30"The response to my blog was overwhelming.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34"Many of you commented that my blog could change the face of blogging."
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Now she's blogging about...blogging?!
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Where are those instructions?
0:04:41 > 0:04:42This is it?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46But there's no writing on it.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Ah, I probably have to put it in the computer.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51But how do I turn the computer on
0:04:51 > 0:04:54without reading what's on this silver disc?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57It's a paradox!
0:04:57 > 0:05:02And with the MySmartphoney, I can connect to the internet anywhere!
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Cool! Can you get on the internet now?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I've been on since I got up. In fact,
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I should write about this right now in my blog.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- What are you writing? - You'll just have to wait and see!
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Hm.
0:05:32 > 0:05:38Hey! Where'd they go? Probably running home to read my blog.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43SHE GASPS But...I was in the middle of a post!
0:05:43 > 0:05:49You can have this...calculator back at the end of class.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51BELL RINGS
0:05:51 > 0:05:53This is indeed a fascinating device.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56But it's now allowed in the classroom.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00And you need to do other things in life besides blogging.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02That's true!
0:06:02 > 0:06:08If I don't do other things, I won't have anything to blog about! Thanks!
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Can we PLEASE do something else?
0:06:15 > 0:06:20Hold on! I missed a lot of post today when Mr Ratburn took my phone.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23But I came over to your house to do something together!
0:06:23 > 0:06:26OK! Let's read my next post together!
0:06:26 > 0:06:28I'd rather just talk to you.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Oh, Francine. Talking is so 20th century!
0:06:33 > 0:06:36SHE SIGHS
0:06:36 > 0:06:38All right. Booting up, and...
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Huzzah! I'm connected to the internet!
0:06:42 > 0:06:44'You have 17 new messages.'
0:06:44 > 0:06:46My, that was fast.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50"Earn money from home without doing any work"?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Now THERE'S an idea!
0:06:54 > 0:06:59So, has everyone read my blog today?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01THEY ALL SIGH
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Why not? I wrote about the colours I'm thinking of
0:07:04 > 0:07:06for the new curtains in my room.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Muffy, your blog is getting a little...boring.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11SHE GASPS
0:07:11 > 0:07:15You can't just write that you had a salad for lunch.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16Who wants to read that?!
0:07:16 > 0:07:21A blog needs to have an angle. Something people CARE about.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Jules Verne began his career writing for Opera.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27PHONE RINGS
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Hello?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Francine, I found an angle, just like you said!
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- Are you at your computer? - Yeah, but...- Go to my blog!
0:07:36 > 0:07:38It's important!
0:07:38 > 0:07:41SHE SIGHS
0:07:42 > 0:07:47"Your humble blogger dissed by BFF. Take the poll -
0:07:47 > 0:07:49"Was Francine right or wrong
0:07:49 > 0:07:54"to refuse to read her best friend's blog? Vote now!"?!
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Ooh! I can't believe her!
0:07:57 > 0:08:01"Dear Muffy, you have no right to take a poll
0:08:01 > 0:08:04"about whether I should read your silly blog."
0:08:05 > 0:08:08I don't think there was anything wrong with your e-mail to Muffy -
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- No matter what the polls say.- How do you know what was in my e-mail?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Muffy posted it on her blog.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16She what?!
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Francine, that fight we had we great!
0:08:18 > 0:08:21It generated the most traffic I've had in a week!
0:08:21 > 0:08:26(That was just between you and me! Can't anything be private?!)
0:08:26 > 0:08:30That's a good topic for discussion! I'll post it!
0:08:30 > 0:08:34My mom says, "Never put anything in an e-mail
0:08:34 > 0:08:38"that you wouldn't want on the front page of a newspaper."
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Newspaper! That's it!
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Taking the Frensky Star online makes good business sense.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49All set - the online edition is up and running.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53"It has long been the policy of the Frensky Star
0:08:53 > 0:08:56"to speak out against injustice.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00"Therefore, we must condemn a new bully of the blogosphere."
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Aren't you supposed to cover news?
0:09:05 > 0:09:10Our motto is "the latest in Elwood City news and opinion."
0:09:10 > 0:09:13But that's ALL opinion. Where's the news?
0:09:13 > 0:09:14I've got it!
0:09:14 > 0:09:22"Breaking news - The Frensky Star is now online!"
0:09:23 > 0:09:26"Bully of the blogosphere"?!
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Ha! "Some people aren't just bad friends.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32"They're also copycats.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36"How much of a copycat do you think Francine is?
0:09:36 > 0:09:41"Copycat-ish, very copycat-ish or extremely copycat-ish?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43"Vote now!"
0:09:43 > 0:09:44The nerve!
0:09:44 > 0:09:48"Just when we thought it couldn't get any worse,
0:09:48 > 0:09:53"The Muffington Post hits a new all-time low."
0:09:53 > 0:09:55PHONE BEEPS
0:09:58 > 0:10:00COMPUTER BEEPS
0:10:03 > 0:10:04THEY GASP
0:10:12 > 0:10:15"Dear M Ratburn, Congratulations!
0:10:15 > 0:10:21"You have won a great deal to buy swamp land in Florida." Goody!
0:10:21 > 0:10:26Close... No! Not more windows. Close! Close!
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Have you been following Francine and Muffy's feud on the Internet?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31It's better than the time
0:10:31 > 0:10:34the bionic bunny battled Darth Bunny in the 7th dimension.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Don't you feel bad that you're enjoying their fight so much?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40I felt bad for enjoying Bionic Bunny's galactic exile,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43but that didn't stop me from watching it.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46I did not. You started it. >
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- I was just blogging.- You wrote that I wasn't your best friend any more.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- You wrote that I betrayed your trust.- Well, you did!
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Hey, guys! You've got to come look on the library computers.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- There's a whole website devoted to Muffy and Francine's feud!- What?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10"And the funniest part is they're both doing the same thing
0:11:10 > 0:11:14"they're accusing the other one of." Signed, Mr Chatterblog.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18He has no right to say those things about us.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- Who is this Mr Chatterblog anyway? - So, do you like my blog?
0:11:22 > 0:11:29- You?- You?- Hey, I call 'em as I see 'em. I already got 112 hits.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34- We don't need to take this, do we, Francine?- No, we don't.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- From now on, if I insult you it's going to be in private.- Ditto!
0:11:40 > 0:11:43"Frensky Star and Muffington Post announce merger."
0:11:43 > 0:11:46That's right! We're pooling our resources.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51And we're starting a new advice column called She Said, She Said.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54You send in your problem and get two opinions about what to do.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Muffy! You were completely ahead of the curve on this internet thing.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02My new Boysenberry allows me to post from just about anywhere.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04You're writing a blog, Mr Ratburn?
0:12:04 > 0:12:08It's called The Rat's Nest. It's mainly devoted to
0:12:08 > 0:12:11correcting common solecisms and grammatical errors.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13You should post your comments.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Er...maybe later, Mr Ratburn.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- Want to go to the park? - I thought you'd never ask.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22There are also some delightful puns on my blog.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26And word problems and photos from my trip to Reykjavik.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31# Every day when you're walking down the street
0:12:31 > 0:12:34# And everybody that you meet
0:12:34 > 0:12:37# Has an original point of view
