Taking a little back
Have you caught wind of PirateBox? What is it? PirateBox is a self-contained mobile collaboration and file sharing device. Simply turn it on to transform any space into a free and open file sharing network. This is pretty cool stuff and turns any space into an interactive learning environment.

Pick up the phone!
I think, just maybe, with all our text, tweets, SMS, MMS, facebook, Qik, blogs… we have forgotten how nice it is to just pick up a phone and tell someone something, anything! I think, just maybe, we are hiding behind technology when it comes to communication today! The old voice on the phone can be [...]
death by email

The Power of Talk.
All too often we seem t forget that every time we open our mouths and breath a word there is going to be an effect! Maybe a person will get mad, maybe they will become sad, they are certain to become informed. The spoken word is powerful and we each do ourselves a dis-service by [...]
