One of my favorite sites, Geeksugar, has given me another way to get addicted to searching for images. Choose a color from the pallet and the Multicolr Search Lab finds pictures with the color shared on Flickr. Of course it gets way more addicting and interesting as you pick more colors from the pallet.

Okay…we don’t really need another reason for FireFox to be the best browser out there, although Flock is becoming a close second for me, but now we have another reason with a new Add on, FireNes. The add on provides a link to over 2500 Classic Nintendo games. From the left navigation bar one can quickly jump to java-based emulator sites of Classic NES games. Ahhh…the good old days of wasting time playing thses 8 bit wonders is no long in the old days…and new day of wasting time has arrived.

Okay…the Eye-Fi is something I used to impress my SOON TO BE Principal. It’s such a great concept and could make taking pictures an easier experince. Only draw back I see is that you need to use a digital camera that uses a SD card…I am a XD fan, so I will need to buy a few more camera. I think it would be worth it. To learn check out this link http://tinyurl.com/2g6f2w. Can’t get any easier.

It is amazes me that we are doing so much to explore Mars. Recently the Mars Phoenix Lander touched down on Mars on May 26th and the Twitter Followers were the first to know. “With liquid water comes the possibility of life. On the Phoenix, a robotic arm with a scoop will dig into the ice layer. Instruments on the spacecraft included a small oven that will heat the scooped-up dirt and ice to 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit. Analyzing the vapors will provide information on the minerals, and that will, in turn, provide clues about whether the ice ever melted and whether this region was habitable. The mission is to last three months” (from NYTIMES article).
The lander is ready to begin digging for ICE, the main objective for the lander. Above is a picture from the landing that seems to have exposed ice below the soil.
To find out more about the Phoenix Mission, The University of Arizona (with the help of NASA) has a great website (and very teacher/kid friendly…lots of images, videos) http://fawkes3.lpl.arizona.edu/index.php
