Swickied!

While I tinker away here behind the scenes here at Planet Capoeira's secret and clandestine headquarters, I am always fascinated by all these new interent technologies that seem to be coming out. I'm also a bit cautious about adding too much stuff to our little family of growing sites, but I just came across this new fangled web search thing called a "swicki". It looked interesting, so I figured I'd try it out and see if you guys could make some use of it...

"Ginga, Mea lua, Armada, Au. These sound like a bunch of gibberish but to children at Mont Kiara International School (MKIS), it means "Let's play capoeira!"
