Is this taking the whole Star Trek thing a teensie weensie bit too far? d'Armond Speers spoke only Klingon to his child for the first three years of its life.
Klingon? Not Spanish, French, Mandarin? Not some gutteral genuflecting concoction from the deepest recesses of Borneo? Klingon? You heard it right. (And if you don't know about the Klingon Empire, look it up.)
"I was interested in the question of whether my son, going through his first language acquisition process, would acquire it like any human language," Speers told the Minnesota Daily. "He was definitely starting to learn it."
And get this, Speers says he isn't really a huge Star Trek fan.
We'll take his word for it.

Barry the Talking Dog speaks about the benefits of theCampusCenter.com.
http://www.theCampusCenter.com
Overview
The future of academia is online, clear and simple. Face to face is always necessary but it needs to be blended with online. The Internet was created to share information, mainly between academics. Today it has been commercialized beyond belief and needs to get back to its roots.
Online learning is here to stay. It is the future of academia. As the technology advances academia needs to work with these advances and not against them. By working with this technology through combining student portals, e-Learning and content appropriate e-Commerce academia can find the funding it needs to survive.
Today academia needs funding at all levels. Tuition has topped out, endowments have been hurt by the current fiscal crisis and fundraising is at a standstill. Educational institutions are in desperate need of new alternative revenue streams. I am an academic and I saw this coming ten years ago. So I started to develop a company called DigiEd Incorporated, it produces free, no cost product to provide alternative revenue streams at no cost to academic/literary institutions and alleviate some IT and LMS demands.
theCampusCenter.com is a multi-dimensional SaaS/Web delivered environment. It is a no cost, safe, customizable academic student portal that features eight different streams of revenue sharing for academic institutions; Ad revenue, Promotional spots, Affiliate sales, Affinity sections, Content distribution, In text advertising, Micro site sponsorships and Market research. theCampusCenter.com affords those revenue streams through a simple model based on open source code and non-proprietary backend.
It has numerous uses. It acts as a social network that is major centric for students around the world. It has a research center that contains validated, peer-reviewed links that aid students in doing their research while also diminishing the time it takes to find relevant, qualified research. Students and faculty can also contribute research links by submitting them to our peer-reviewed board of editors.
There are class forums and study forums that can be customized for each class. We have portal capabilities that can also be customized to look and feel like any school. You can do your research in our Research Center, add to MyLinks and then add to MyNotes. You can add audio and video clips to MyMedia. Once you’re finished collecting your data you can then create your paper in MyPapers – research notes, citations, links, audio, images, video, whatever you need and save it to your profile and send it via email to your professor.
We provide up to the minute news, sports, games, entertainment and RSS feeds. You can also chat with friends in MyChat or just check your Weather. We have a section for you to post your Resume and a Job Search area for you to find or post a job.
Also we have a full Amazon powered College Store for all your needs. Anything Amazon.com carries we have as well. And every time you order from our store it helps your school create donations, scholarships and much needed revenue to help keep costs in line with these tough economic times.
We reward students for using the site with a point system that is redeemable at many vendors and retailers. All this and it helps in revenue generation for the institutions that use it.
Please use the site and see how it can be customized it for your school or institution so they can start benefiting from the revenue sharing.
Everything is here for your daily needs as a student or faculty. It is just finding the right source that is usually tough. We make it easier, quicker and more reliable.
