bananas on toast

With children learning about technology from a younger and younger age, it almost seems native to them. I am a technology savvy person to say the least, but the ease at which children adapt to new devices or ideas is sometimes scary.

This, in my opinion, is one of the coolest iPhone uses yet. Get your children touching, pinching and enjoying interactive media as young as possible.

If you’ve ever wondered what LA would look like if it’s streets were always empty – here is the answer.

I’ve thought for a very long time that money is a very poor motivator and I know that for me it certainly isn’t what gets me out of bed in the morning. I enjoy challenge, mastery and the love of what I do — that is what makes me motivated.

During this great and entertaining video we see how people are truly motivated when it comes to money and other things. I highly recommend watching the entire clip and truly enjoying the video.

Something interesting happened on the internet recently and some unlikely heroes have emerged as a result. A person from America knew of two friends who were migrating from Russia and had been caught up in a possible scam and put out the following call for help:

My friend and former student K arrived in DC yesterday, along with a friend. She came over on some kind of travel exchange program put together by a Russian travel agency called ‘XXXXX’. They paid about 3K for this program.

The program promised a job offer in advance, but didn’t deliver. They said they would send one via email, but failed there, too.

Her contact in the USA barely speaks English, doesn’t answer her calls but does answer mine. He has asked her and her friend to meet in NYC tonight around midnight, with promises of hostess work in a lounge. Yes, I know how horrific that sounds- that’s why I am working all possible angles here.

She is not going to NYC but I need some help handling and understanding how to handle this- I have a friend helping them with a cheap hotel for the night, but that’s all at the moment. I am presently driving to LA and could fly her and her friend to meet me there on Saturday, but couldn’t house them indefinitely. I will be monitoring this thread over the next hour.

Reading through the entire thread is like reading a crime novel and the poor guy truly is in distress over his friend and her traveling companion. It’s quite a long thread and quite a read but I highly recommend taking a look at how the internet has changed their lives forever.
