Reflection Day One.

Well I've always wanted to know how to set up a blog. Note to self to use Gaggle.net for setting up mail boxes for students so that they can do email safely.

Anyway, using an Apple again for the first time in over 10 years is annoying. Slight differences from windows. Biggest problem is keyboard commands are different, have to remember to hit that funny apple function key as opposed to the 'control' key.

Interesting stuff on possibilities for future technology, but personally suspect most is overblown. If I can't sit comfortably in my recliner to read ebook, I won't be getting an ebook reader. If my wife can't use in comfortably in bed, I guarantee she won't get into ebooks either. Will have to also be very easy to use too. Otherwise my wife won't get into them. Though that computer paper is potentially a major break through.

Met Mitch, seems like a good partner for Bryan and I for the group Emerging Technology Report. I wonder what we'll end up working on. Personal interest is on stuff that will replace the chalk board. Especially as my handwriting is horrendous.

While I personally hate Apple's, figure this is good experience as most machines I have seen in schools are Apples, though in business, IBM/Window's machines are the rule.

Set Up

The purpose of this is to set up an url for my blog.
