Hiya!

Moving on to a new theme, I would like to talk about military technology.

Does anybody but me think it's crazy how the media manages to put our military business out on front street?

Back during WWII no one was allowed to talk about troop deployment, new technology, etc. I remember my mom saying that she would get letters home from my dad when he was in the war and they would have lines blacked out with big magic marker where he might have told her anything in the letter that could give away his location.

Now we have CNN and everybody knows what's going on the very minute it's happening.

*stepping off soap box now*

So along those lines, go view this Kiplinger article and click through some of the coming military technology. For credit this week you will pick one of these technologies and tell us how it can save lives in the field. "It's cool" will not garner you any credit. Not now, not ever.

Read Tuesday, blog Thursday.

Blog 26 - April 15, 2013

Hi!

In preparation for switching topics this week we will visit one of my favorite sites:

http://www.thinkgeek.com/

I love, LOVE this website. It's chock full of stuff for geeky people.

So for credit this week, pick a product and GIVE US THE LINK and then tell us why you love it or think it's abundantly stupid. You MUST PROVIDE THE LINK so that the rest of us can go and look at it.

Your blog should look a little something like this:

When you're a computer teacher people ask you all the time to help them. Most days I don't mind. Today ain't one of those days.
Lanham, 1st period

This is one of the RARE times when you can go ahead and blog on Tuesday. Be sure to check back on Thursday during blog time if you do that so you can see what everybody else is shopping for.

Hiya Peeps!

Continuing along the house of the future, let's talk about some future kitchen technology.

Back in the day, they thought our kitchens would be WAAAAAAAY further advanced than they are today. I found a you tube video to check out. It also includes more about the Monsanto house:

These videos make me LOL. I don't know about YOU, but I'm ALWAYS that dressed up when I'M in the kitchen. Also, I randomly break out in song and dance.

I do dig that rotating see-through oven though . . .

So for blog credit this week, go visit this site.

Pick a piece of new kitchen technology and give us an opinion. Please make sure you tell us which product your talking about.

As always, read Tuesday. Blog Thursday.
