It’s getting  late! I wasn’t going to do this today, but I keep up with what I start!

I’ve been in the books today. I just finished Kiss Me Kill Me by Lauren Henderson. The book had a nice multicultural supporting cast as well as action packed suspense.

I wondered over to an online books store (sorry Kids Ink!) and ordered copies of The girls guide to getting kidnapped; Descent into Paradise and a Place to live; Guardian of the spirit and Draper’s Out of my mind. I’m about to start my read on Eighth Grade SuperZero while The gangsta we are all looking for is my current purse book. I’d call it a ‘pocket book’ but that’s what my mom always called her purse.

I’ve noticed quite often now that used books on Amazon cost more than new book. Can anyone enlighten me on this?

That’s it for the books! I’ve visited way too many ed tech sites to even begin to tell you what I’ve found! I’ll need to put my Delicious widget back so that I can share the sites I’m finding. I can say that if you’re missing Wordle, you should try WordItOut.

I’m looking into a new cell phone.  While the iPhone is o, so, cool, I think there are others out there that are just as useful with out the heavy monthly fees of an iPhone (and while I’m thinking about it I have to mention how little sense it makes to pay a company for Internet service in my home and then pay that same company so that my phone can have Internet service as well!).  I’ve seen numerous articles listing all the great educational apps for the iPhone but heck, my district still bans cell phones. I like this useful device for the Blackberry, but what’s really getting my attention is the Droid. How many apps do you really need?!

I hope to post later this week with a Haiti update. I’m sure the need for supplies is emerging as infrastructure slowly rebuilds. I’ll also have information on Chile.

  1. The gangsta we are all looking for

    I saw this several months ago. Seems like we mentioned on Color Online but my mind is a blur. Anyway, thanks for putting it back on the radar.

  2. it looks like android is going to be a better buy and not be limited to oneservice provider. the app stores are not as extensive as apples yet but they started a little later in the game. I would love to see the android phones and apps do something apple never thought to do, not sure what that would be but let’s give apple a run for its money. I love apple, don’t get me wrong, but we only get newer and better technology when there is true competition. I’m excited that the htc hero (by sprint) has introduced new ways to customize the device.

    1. Kris,
      Did you check out the Android link? Yeah, it’s doing different stuff! I think it added the features folks wanted to see on iPhone but didn’t.
      Someone on his blog was saying that he was testing the Droid and Google let him use his existing phone number and add gTalk. WOW! Free phone service!! It does give me pause though, because Google seriously collects information!
      HTC is on ATT, too

  3. I loved Kiss Me Kill Me, the second book was just as good. I’ve never heard of the gangsta we are all looking for, will look into.

    I went to the post office yesterday, was very glad I had my book with me. The line was longgggg.

    1. LOL I love long lines because they are great opportunities for reading!LOL

      Gangsta sounds kinda rough, just from the title but so far a young Vietnamese girl is telling the story and it’s not a rugged telling!
      I met the author of Kiss Me at the mystery convention I went to last year. I wish I’d read this before I met her so we could have discussed it. Do you know how long the series is going to be?

  5. Edi, I don’t but in the second book the first mystery is solved. The author doesn’t drag it out. I was hoping the third book would be out this year.

    It’s hard to find good teen mysteries and I liked this series a lot.
