Use of PingFire with Ping.fm to update your Social Networking Sites

Discovered a tool called Ping.fm http://ping.fm and then found a tool off Firefox called pingfire that allows you update via your browser. Of course, I can't figure out the blogging update, since I was expecting both blogs to update.

A fun way to keep your facebook, myspace, linkedin and other social networks up to date...

Kids and Homework

Who is confused about who is supposed to complete homework?

I have a continuing debate about this with my wife and daughter. Using the Socratic method normally frustrates everyone, then I get accused of not helping at all... hmm... so if I don't do the homework, that is not right? One problem is, I can't do it. I haven't been able to actually do the math homework my kids bring home since the third grade. Most of the time, I have to study the examples and then explain the approach... Hey, isn't that 'doing' the homework again?

Anyway, I have a hard time keeping up with my own homework...

Twitter Twatter

I wasn't sure completely what Twitter is all about, and I am still hoping to play around enough with the application to...get...it. Someone said you have to use Twitter to understand, so I have taken the dive into the deep end. Feel free to follow me and if you have had any noteworthy experiences, please share... okay, excuse me I am getting another Twitter...hmm that's nice...
