September 19th is, ye guessed it, International Talk Like A Pirate Day!  I wasn’t plannin’ t’blog about it, but those swashbucklin’ buccaneers o’er at Libr-ARR!-yThing made me bring a spring upon me cable.  Blimey!  Come around and go smartly, matee!  Go check out LibraryThing in pirate-speak.  If ye miss it, t’is shown below.  T’is handsomely done! Arrrrrr!

Shiver me timbers,  me pirate name is Calico Anne!

Stay yer course, heartie!  Keep readin’ and keep learnin’!

Everyone has a story to tell. With Storybird, there’s no excuse not to. It has incredible artwork in a variety of styles. It’s easy. And if you don’t try to play with it when it’s overloaded (which it must have been last night), it’s quick, too! What a cool idea. I think this may be what we do in our first Jr. Tech Camp this year. By the way, I read about this in the Read Write Web blog and also in Scott Holcomb’s blog.

Check out my life story… …so far, anyway.

Keep reading and keep learning!

I don’t know if I mentioned that I finally got an iPhone. The 11 month wait was worth it. I’m addicted. I was a little disappointed, though, when I tried to include a picture in a text and found that I couldn’t. The phone was willing but AT&T wasn’t able. That’s evidently going to change on September 25th. Hurray! I read about this on the Read Write Web blog.
