A crazy looking plant that I managed to kill in my own garden. Perhaps I'll give it a go again this year. Is spring here yet?

Taggregator

Link: Taggregator.

Social software is emerging at a fast pace. Sites like Flickr and Del.icio.us allow people to tag photo and websites for others to find quickly. These then are open and shared with everyone.
Taggregator is a site that searches for tags at Flickr and Del.icio.us on one page. This then gives you a list of the most current photos and website that have been tagged by others from those two sites.
Try it out and see what you get. It's kind of just fun to see what others are doing out there. What a unique way to get a pulse on the culture.

Try it...this is a search on dog.

Want a good laugh, go to this funny site. While there watch the others called, This Land and It's Good To Be In D.C.

Demo of iWork

Link: Your Mac Life.

If you're a fan of Keynote at all, then you'll want to grab Apple's iWork package right away. (I'll get to showing off Pages later).

In lieu of a full-blown video review (coming this week), I thought I'd give you a taste of what Keynote 2.0 is capable of doing. You'll need to click on the screen to get it going.

Click here to start the demo! (2mb)

Update: Here's a demo that's built into Keynote2 about the iWork suite.

Click here to watch(9mb).

Go to this site for a nice demo of iWork. It really seems like a great product. I hope it pans out to be all that I hope for.

Found this artfully done dog on flickr that is very similar to my dog Sierra. It makes me smile. I love my little cutie, Sierra. :-) Ahhh.

iWork

So I am wondering what Apple is going to do with customers like me that have purchased Keynote already. Since iWork is Page and Keynote together, do I get some sort of discount for paying for my 1.0 version of Keynote? Or do I have to buy it all again? If so, that really blows. Anyone know for sure?

Mini Show

Anyone ever go to a MINI Show like this? How do they do that? Cool and crazy at the same time.

Template Mania

Link: Apple - iWork - Pages - Templates.

I can't wait for and my students and me to get our hands on this app.---- iWork. The templates look very nice. Making a well designed document can actually be fun, especially when the design aspect is already done for you. The samples on Apple's site look impressive. If I could churn out something looking like these examples on a regular basis, I would be quite happy.
