Thanksgiving?

Every year for Thanksgiving my family all gets together and we have a very big dinner. We have a big turkey, mashed potatoes, and pasta. My favorite part about Thanksgiving is having apple pie because its my favorite and being with my entire family. I really like Thanksgiving because its a holiday that I get to celebrate that all my friends do too.

Microsoft Office 365 - With Office you now have the power to enable your people to work from virtually anywhere, anytime, and on any device with simple, familiar collaboration and communication solutions – all backed by the proven security and guaranteed reliability you expect from Microsoft. At the core Office 365 helps you save money and it makes you far more productive. I think the really exciting thing is that Office 365 delivers our products the way we intended them to be delivered; integrated together and providing the richest capabilities you can possibly imagine across end users PCs, their phones and their browsers. Office 365 does just about anything.

Google Reader

On google reader I can organize all of my classwork online. It helps a lot more considering the school is trying to go green so a lot more of my school work will be done online. I can make a folder for each class and include feeds to my teachers web page, their emails, and a website we might be using in class. By using google reader I won't have to worry about remebering a bunch of difficult urls and when to check what web page, everything I need can be seen all on one page at once. Also, when the teacher posts our homework online I have a better chance of seeing what they wrote and knowing what to do, I can also communicate online with them much easier and we can view things at the same time and work on anything I might be having trouble with. Overall I think that Google reader is a very handy tool and in the near future more and more people will begin to see that.

It’s estimated that only 200 of these computers were produced and sold before Apple moved onto the next model, the Apple II.According to the auction Web site, this version of the Apple computer is number 82 of those made, and was hand built by Steve Wozniak and then “dispatched from the garage of Steve Jobs’ parents’ house. The computer is part of a Nov. 23 auction in London of rare books and manuscripts that will be available to any rich geek.

The Brainport technology allows you to see with your tongue, not eyes.About two million optic nerves are required to transmit visual signals from the retina—the portion of the eye where light information is decoded or translated into nerve pulses—to the brain's primary visual cortex. With BrainPort, the device being developed by neuroscientists at Middleton, Wisc; visual data can be collected through a small digital video camera about 1.5 centimeters in diameter that sits in the center of a pair of sunglasses worn by the user. Bypassing the eyes, the data are transmitted to a handheld base unit, which is a little larger than a cell phone.
