I live in the Texas Hill Country and am a technology educator. My role is to provide teachers and students with the tools they need for learning and living in the 21st century. I use this site to post interesting things I find on the web in the areas of education, technology, and my hobby of design admiration.

= Future OS that Windows may be heading toward……

Microsoft introduced “Longhorn” back in 2002 as the replacement for Windows XP. LH was boxed as Vista. Why doesn’t my Vista do all this? And tonight, Microsoft previewed their new OS to come out in 18 months from today currently called Windows 7.  You can view most of its show on http://www.microsoft.com/surface and imagine it on a laptop. The new OS is fully integrated with touchscreen technology. Too bad you will have to get a touchscreen to make it work.

It sounded good at first - the 90210 riff from the first version.

A new Beverly Hills 90210 is heading back to the airwaves! R U ready?

Really? Do we need this?! I love chocolate. And I love bacon! But together? I don’t think so. Remember the old Reese’s Buttercup commercials: “Your peanut butter fell in my chocolate!” - I guess they could say the same here. “Your bacon fell in my chocolate!” I don’t think I could eat it. If you can, visit Marinis.

Hancock movie trailer 2

I dunno. It looked pretty lame a few weeks ago but that new Hancock movie is starting to be more appealing. Hancock, The Dark Knight, Indiana Jones, The Incredible Hulk, X-Files 2….

Gonna be more money spent on movies than gas I am thinking….
