11/100 My Children Will Do it Differently

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

I remember, about 100 years ago, in 1983 I was in school and being coached into writing a letter in French to a French person in return for a letter back in English. I remember not being utterly thrilled with the idea. About two years later a Spanish girl at ...

Monday, December 10th, 2007

This week I got Flickr working with iPhoneSlide. It means I can upload/email photos direct from my iPhone to my Flickr account. I didn't previously have a Flickr account. I just enabled Flickr on my existing Yahoo account (which is one of the oldest IM accounts I have, dating back ...

5/100 Technology That Empowers Me
