Greentown School Kindergarden iPads Earlier this year, I was a bit surprised to see that a school is planning to buy iPads for its entire Kindergarden. I’m interested to know how that went and how they’re using those devices. The...
I just read Sense’s post on retiring from the Ubuntu Community. I was going to leave a comment, but decided to write an entry about it since it affects a lot of other people too. What is it I’m talking...
Losing Touch In a few months I’ll be turning 29. That’s old. I don’t care though, I like growing older. I don’t want to be back in school without money to buy new computers, etc. If you’re doing things right,...
