Facebook Gets a Face Lift - ABC News
If a student of mine submitted this as a report or a current event I wouldn't accept it because it falls under the category of WHO CARES!? I can't believe someone got paid to write and deliver this report. The second story is equally disturbing....Farmville is now on MSN!!

Wordle!
Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text.
You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes.
The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.
Create your own @ http://www.wordle.net

The Surge Case – iPod Touch Solar Charger Case
There’s no question, that since the launch of the iPhone, there have been a flurry of products just for the iPhone, where us iPod Touch users have been missing out. Well the Surge for the iPod Touch has been designed to keep your iPod Touch fully charged whilst your out and about.
Your iPod Touch fits snugly within the case, giving you full access to the touch screen without needing to take the iPod out of the case. The case itself is also lightweight and study, so it offers a degree of protection for your iPod Touch.
In full sun, the solar panel provides 100mA of charging current. The Surge has a 1500 mAh 3.7 V lithium-ion polymer internal battery, which represents 120% of the internal battery capacity of the iPod Touch. This means you more than double your iPod’s battery capacity.
To determine how much charge is left in the battery, the Surge features a 4 LED display which indicates the current charge status. The case also features a USB socket so that you can charge up the iPod via USB or sync with iTunes without needing to take it out of the Surge case too.
The cases are available for $70 each, although stockist information is not currently available.

The Wayback Machine
The Internet Archive Wayback Machine puts the history of the World Wide Web at your fingertips. The Archive contains over 100 terabytes and 10 billion web pages archived from 1996 to the present.
To start using the Wayback Machine to surf the web as it was, just type a URL (a web site address) into the box above, click the Take Me Back button, and start exploring the past.
A few years ago, when I started teaching Web Design I found a website called Webmonkey for Kids that had terrific HTML lessons and projects. I incorporated them into my classes using the actual website as my textbook and sending students there directly. To my dismay, last year, the site was suddenly gone and I hadn't saved or printed ONE page of it. I tried to write my own versions of the projects and make my own examples but they just weren't the same.
This September at an inservice workshop the Keynote Speaker told us about the Internet Archive. Every few months an organization saves the ENTIRE Internet AS IS to be accessed at anytime later. The entire idea of this is completely overwhelming to me... but I immediately went home and found my Webmonkey for Kids projects! This time... I'm going to save myself a copy just in case.
