The Regio Toilet is So Awesome, It Has Its Own Soundtrack Housewares]
Tue, 22 Apr 2008 18:17:00 PDT
Like most of the premium toilets made in Japan, the Regio has hidden cleaning sprays and a tankless design that utilizes a combination of water and air power for silent, earth-saving flushing. However, the aspects that make the Regio unique can be found in the luxurious extras. For example, it plays soft, relaxing jazz music when the lid is lifted. In fact, Jazz pianist Yoshiko Kishino contributed original pieces specifically for the Regio toilet soundtrack. Now that is a resume booster! Other
Mags: Madison's "married singles"
Tue, 22 Apr 2008 18:21:47 PDT
One of Madison’s strengths is identifying the social and relationship trends that affect middle-class, Gen X/Y Australian women and writing home about them (and coining clever new catch-phrases to describe them). This month, it’s the “together single” couple, a story that really resonates with me, being a recent-ish newlywed (almost a year!) and, by nature, fiercely independent and stubborn (not to mention a child of divorce – how does one know how to ‘do marriage’ without it being modeled to th

Fashionistas are constantly keeping up with the up-to-the-minute trends, especially having "owning" their own designer handbags, one, two, three, -- actually hundreds! If you’re a fashion admirer on a budget, it might be somewhat challenging to find handbags that you can afford. Here are some sites and stores you’ll want to investigate, as well
An Interview From The Casa of Lady G~
Tue, 22 Apr 2008 18:31:50 PDT
Lady G~'s daughter needs to interview a teacher for some coursework she's taking in education. She asked me for an interview, to which I am more than happy to respond. Here are my answers, dear one, and may they inspire you to teach as your heart sees fit. 1. How long have you been teaching? 24 years. 2. Why do you choose to be teacher? This has got to be a three part answer: 1. to touch children's lives in a positive way; 2. to instill in them a love of learning; 3. because I had such awful

Shift Happens — Now What?
Tue, 22 Apr 2008 18:50:48 PDT
You’ve just watched “Did You Know” or a keynote by David Warlick for the very first time. You feel your heart begin to race as panic sets in… you think: “My school is in no way prepared to help our students learn what they need for work and life in the this very different and constantly changing world… What should I do?!” Too often, the initial response is to look for money to buy more computers. Some educational leaders may say “Let’s make sure we have laptops in the hands of EVERY student!

On May 4th and 5th I'll be attending, and speaking at, Sun Microsystem's Startup Camp 5 in San Francisco. The event is about 1/3 panels and 2/3 unconference (where the agenda is set on that day). I am really honored to be sitting on the "Notes From Mission Control: Rules For a Successful Media Launch" panel alongside S. Neil Vineberg, Jyri Engestrom (co-founder of Jaiku), Christina (CK) Kerley and Mark Modzelewski (CEO of Stealth Startup). Other panels on the 4th include the likes of Matt Mar
Gasoline usage heads down
Tue, 22 Apr 2008 19:06:58 PDT
kansascity.com By Steve Everly U.S. drivers are doing something they haven’t done for nearly two decades — consume less gasoline. Gas consumption so far this year is down about 0.2 percent compared to last year, according to the Energy Information Administration. The federal agency is predicting that gasoline demand will be down 0.4 percent this summer and 0.3 percent for the year. That may not sound like much, but it would be the first time since 1991 that there’s been a decline in annual

The notion of “friendship” has been transformed through social networking. The Washington Post has a good piece looking at how MySpace, Facebook, Bebo and others are forcing us to think afresh about the boundaries and intensities of these new online relationships. Never before in history has it been so easy to keep up with so many people with whom you otherwise would have lost contact.
