" Tired of cats riding Roombas and wrecking balls? This week brought three Internet videos\u2014one of which went insanely viral\u2014that you won&amp;#039;t feel dumber for watching. Take some time out of your afternoon for some inspiration from a toy company, an 11-year-old &amp;quot;hacker,&amp;quot; and three stay-at-home moms.        You&amp;#039;ve undoubtedly seen this one after a friend shared it or emailed it to you. It&amp;#039;s an incredibly clever ad for toy company GoldieBlox, which aims to combine construction toys with storytelling, characters, and books to stir children&amp;#039;s imaginations. Stanford engineer Debbie Sterling, who created both the blocks and the ad, wants to foster young girls&amp;#039; interest in STEM fields. She&amp;#039;s also a marketing whiz\u2014the video went viral right in time for holiday shopping season.         &amp;quot;We don&amp;#039;t seem to make how to be healthy and happy a priority in our schools; it&amp;#039;s separate from schools, and for some kids it doesn&amp;#039;t exist at all, but what if we didn&amp;#039;t make it separate? What if we based our education on the practice of being happy and healthy because that&amp;#039;s what it is: a practice, and a simple practice at that.&amp;quot; That&amp;#039;s 13-year-old Logan LaPlante delivering a TEDx talk about his philosophy of &amp;quot;hackschooling,&amp;quot; which will have you nodding your head in agreement the entire time. Get this kid to the Department of Education, stat.        Filmmaker Matt Bieler&amp;#039;s 3 Queens is a celebration of three stay-at-home moms from around the country. Warning: You should probably have some tissues on hand before watching. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
