Artist’s Notes

I’m really interested in technology and weather. Both are constantly changing, so there is never a boring moment. My blog contains links and information relating to computers, new technology, and computer security. Visit my webpage, http://jntk.freehostia.com, which includes an extensive weather section, culling current weather information from multiple sources, including the National Weather Service, and the Plymouth State Weather Center of the Judd Gregg Meteorology Institute here at PSU.

Hands down the best performance by a 12 year old girl ever caught on film.

Singing probably the most over done, badly done, “omg please tell me they’re done” song ever mutilated in front of a live audience, a 12 year old South Korean girl enters stage center and stuns a television audience with the first five words of the song.
