First, let me say that I love this little girl.  What a great experiment.  I just wish that I had thought about it.

• Jungle Bean Bag Toss at KBtoys.com
• Little Tikes: Little Handiworker Workhorse at KBtoys.com
• Send Group Messages (Mostly Free) | Notifu
  Might be useful in the near future, but not so much now. This will send messages to users preferred service. Now, everyone I communicate with can be reached via email. However, there are likely others like me who don't really like checking email. I get all the messages I need from SMS, Facebook, Twitter, and Skype.
• Typealyzer
  Fun Briggs-Meyers personality test for your blog. No, not on your blog...OF your blog. Marked 3/4 of the blogs I checked "Mechanic" (all 4 are mine). Must be something in my style.

Looks like the newest Flash 10 (10,0,12,36 to be precise) broke the last.FM widget embedded at the top of the page. Hopefully, it will eventually be fixed by either last.FM or Adobe (won't hold my breath). I'll just leave it up for now.

However, this is what happens when you rely so much on propriety software. You are at their mercy. It only gets fixed when they say it gets fixed. Wouldn't it be nice if an open source option came into vogue?

Don't write in and tell me how many great options there are. The reality is that Flash is on nearly every computer (at least those running Windows and Mac OS, but likely Linux too). Until there is something that can challenge this dominance, few are going to develop for it.

However, I shouldn't let last.FM off the hook too easily. So far, they are the only system broken as far as I can tell.

So, until then, I sit back and what for the king to decide what to do with me. Shall I be spared or OFF with my head!

• Mofet ITEC - International Portal of Teacher Education
  Lots of neat stuff. It would take a while just to skim through. Looks really well updated. It actually looks like they follow the same blogs/journals that I do as I have seem many of these articles posted about in the recent past.

Man admits killing teacher over 21-year grudge - CNN.com

Uhm, scary?! Is this a warning not to beat your students or simply to get out of Korea before they can do damage to you? A little of both, I guess.

A guy kills his teacher who beat him 21 years earlier for cheating on a test. Let's just hope there aren't many copycats out there.

  Starts out slow (and a little muddled), but the argument is good for those who not very familiar with the uses and potential benefits of social networking software.

• Totlol - Video for Kids. Infants, Toddlers, Preschoolers, Grade School, Tweens and Parents
  Great idea, hope the crowdsourcing works for it. It's a site that uses YouTube content, but filters it for kid-safe programming using it's members (user-moderated).

Great picture though :)
