Mashable...A bunch of random neat gadgets.

So I really enjoyed reading the articles on this blog. One of my favorites was from a week ago, Wednesday April 4. It was on Google's new Project Glass which is basically an amazing concept. The Google engineering team (Google X Lab) is developing a set of glasses with augmented reality. This means the user can view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by a computer. It would allow us to view the weather, get phone calls, play video games, and more! All through our glasses as we're doing something else. If you ask me, that's kind of crazy and creepy all at the same time. 

Another article talks about Pinterest, one of my new favorites sites! This website (also an iPhone app) is a virtual "pinboard" that allows users to "pin" things they find interesting to an unlimited number of pinboards in their account. For example, I have a number of different boards. I have one for nail art, clothing, and cooking recipes. I use this to plan out weekly meals and my next shopping mall trip. The article here talks about how teachers can "...organize lesson plans, distribute curricula, collaborate with other faculty, and even encourage student participation." This is a neat concept that makes me wonder if our teachers will start using it. 

Overall, I really enjoyed reading this blog and I might even add it to my Google Reader account! I hope you guys enjoyed it as well.
