Google Does it Again

I may blog like I am the biggest fan of Google but they have just released a great tool for students and people doing research on more than one computer. The new Google Notebook service lets you take notes on any search results that you find in Google or on anything else without any software needing to be installed.

This is a great tool for anyone doing research but all the more so for those of us doing research on more than one computer. This would have been a great tool for thesis research!

Wikinomics

I listen to a lot of books on CD and I can not think of a time before this when I would call something a must read before I had even finished the second CD but Wikinomics is a must read/listen to book.

Words from the Road

Readers,

As some of you may know I am at a teachers conference at Washington University in St. Louis. Besides for the weather the conference is amazing. When we say Denver is hot but at least it is dry it is so very true. But this is a technology blog so I can take advantage of the air conditioning while I write it.

Think you'r kids are safe online?

If you think your kids are safe online, My Space, a popular social networking site shared the frightening news that there are 29,000 sex offenders with profiles on the site. These are just the ones that they have been able to identify! There are safe ways to use the Internet and there are safe ways to share the Internet with your children but My Space is NOT one of them.
