Want to be a Gift Genius this holiday season?
GiftGenius.com is my absolute favorite site for gift buying, and even personal shopping. They have one of a kind gifts for every recipient you can imagine, even your dog or grandma. Just enter the occasion and/or recipient, then you can narrow it down by taste, style and price.Website of the Day: More Cloth
I'm a total DIY freak, and appreciate websites that help me reach my crafting goals. Take my last DIY project: the charging station I made from an Ikea shelving unit. Now if I wanted to take that a step further, I could add some decorative fabric to the back panels and really make the shelf pop.

So in my Intro Achaeology class we have been learning about lithic (stone tool) technology. I saw this article in one of my favorite mags Archaeology Magazine....:nerdgirl: Sorry its super long
A wild chimpanzee in a nest (or bed or sleeping platform), essentially a simple shelter. This is a constructed artifact, a simple example of elementary technology, which happens to be a great ape universal

Looking at apes, tools, and human evolution
Many animals have been observed using tools: Dolphins use sponges when fishing, crows use sticks to forage for insects in dead wood, capuchin monkeys use stones to break open nuts.
eBooks will never replace the real thing
As a science enthusiast and gadget geek, I will generally move towards any new piece of everyday technology that makes life a little closer to the hyper-futuristic 21st century envisaged by the sci-fi writers of a few decades back. (In an ideal world, these bits of technology will also make life a little easier, more convenient and fun to boot.) Where books are concerned, my low-tech alter ego consistently wins out. Although it seems like a combination of electronics, sleek gadgetry and a well-written book would satisfy both the book fan and the tech fan in me, I'll take a real paperback novel over a digital eBook reader every time.Facebook...I want to scream.
Alright, I am going to admit this right up front---I am probably one of the biggest Facebook noobs you have ever come into contact with.
I fought against the repeated temptations to join and then finally in May I did. Spent a fantastically insane amount of time building connections between my blogs and those I found on Facebook and at one point the connections to my FB page was bringing in new readers so much per day that I marveled at my stupidity in dragging my feet in creating a Facebook page.
Then it happened. My hard drive died last week, replaced it, spent several days trying to locate my bits-n-pieces...and then thought, "Gee I better check Facebook. It had been only 4 days since I last signed in----BUT----they deactivated my page and it reverted to the page and content that was on there the first day (first 24 hrs) that I created it. I lost ALL my friends/followers, ALL my content, ALL my links.......ok----everything!
Then the anger set in. When my hard-drive had died I had been relieved to know that all my content was elsewhere on the net and that all I had to do was go and collect it again. WRONG. Guess what?
There is no link on FACEBOOK for HELP...only more equally distraught and upset individuals who like myself just lost everything. Seriously...there is no official help from Facebook. In fact, people were so upset that they created new profiles with names like "Facebook AnswerURphone" or "Helpdesk Facebook" and "MIA Facebook Admin" then finally "Contact Facebookgoodluck" so at least I know that I was not the only one to be in this mess.
Time to Upgrade: Sony Ericsson K850
Just in time for the holidays, phone manufacturers are busting out with the big guns to try to lure you towards their shiny gadgets. This little gem from Sony packs quite a punch!
With a 5 mega pixel camera, auto focus and a xenon flash, you could get away with tossing out your old digital and just relying on the K850 for your photo needs.
Website of the Day: Apostrophe Me
Sometimes I just like things explained simply, in good old-fashioned plain English. For instance, it was so liberating when the guys from Commoncraft talked about Twitter in layman's terms, and now with a website called Apostrophe Me, you'll never misuse apostrophes again, thanks to their cute and detailed flow chart. Other things worth checking out on the site?
