I don't mean to gush, but as I said in your "Awe Your Audience" presentation, I enjoyed your sessions because at each one I learned something that I could use right away. Thanks for visiting my blog!

We have a picture of our son at about one years old. He's sitting on a pile of dirt and it's obvious he had been eating some of it! My husband's motto has always been dirt is good for you. I am also blessed with two healthy children with no allergy problems. I was given much of the same advice and like you ignored it. We have a picture of our son at about one years old.

I do that also! I'll have to try delicious.com. I have bookmarks all over the place, various computers & various bookmark sites (can't remember where), and not all in one place. So I'll check it out and try to make my computer life more organized. Here are a couple of cool sites that I'll share with you. If you want a "simpson-like" version of yourself, upload a headshot photo to www.simpsonizeme.com. It's really cute. Another cool site is wordle.net. It make a great visual language tool. Check it out. A great site with lots of links to many resources is EduEse.com. I listened to the guy at a conference, and he gave us his blog site as a reference tool.

With it open all day, and sorted by Tweet Deck, I know all of the stories before they air at 5:30 or 6:00. My dad who is a read the paper every day and watch the news every night is baffled that we never use "old media" but still know just as much as he does.
