Just a reminder to my blogging friends and readers that Blog Action Day 2007 is fast approaching. Take a few minutes to think about what you can write about, share, and maybe even change the world.

If you don’t want to do it virtually…how about see through

I’ve always wondered with technology the way it is, why are students still dissecting animals for biology classes. Why not use a computer program that’s been around for 15+ years and just do it virtually? No more sad little screams of “YOU WANT ME TO DO WHAT TO THE FROG?!?!” Well Japanese scientists have come […]

Showing The Value in Web 2.0 Tools to Create Buy-in

I listened in on Clark Quinn’s presentation for the eLearning Guild yesterday and two comments hit me hard: “You’re not about training/learning, you’re about empowering performance.”“You’re not about computers or web, you’re about all technology.” I draw from these thoughts that I can’t just be the only one using these web applications.

How to Hide Files inside JPGs

This is a simple little trick to hide files by compressing them with compression software and then using a small simple code you enter into the dos window. The video by JimmyR.com is a little hard to watch because it jumps around, but that is only because the filming size of the window is small. […]

Print a Camera Lens Hood

I was reading through some feeds this morning and came across Top 5 Useful Items You Never Knew You Could Print Out. Well I’ve used all but one and thought this one was just kind of neat. Printing out a Camera Lens Hood. I always find it fascinating when someone has the ingenuity to “craft” […]
