OSX on your WinTel machine!

Think putting Windows on your Powerbook is a pretty cool trick? Try putting OSX on your PC! Profit42.com shows you how.

Twitter v. Jaiku, first impressions

Based on the recommendation from the Art Guy and the ‘tweets’ from Bud, I decided to sign up for Jaiku.
After using it for just a few minutes, it became very clear that Jaiku has quite a bit more to offer than Twitter does. You can aggregate multiple RSS feeds into your Jaiku […]

Teach42 Podcast: Twas the night before Passover…

I’m not sure how many people discuss the pros and cons of allowing public blog commenting on students blogs at their seder table, but that’s what’s on my mind! The Kathy Sierra situation and Stop Cyberbullying day has left a taste in my mouth worse than matzah with a heaping helping of horseradish. […]

Google is my Resume

Found a great post about how to make your permanent record work for you instead of against you.

Two technologies I’m still not 100% sold on yet, but finding that I really dig ‘em.
