A New Way to Help Kids Learn to Read

LeapPads and the like have been around for a while. Put a specially configured booklet into an electronic pad. Tap a button or two with a special pen. Then let your child page through the booklet tapping on pictures and sentences to hear the story and learn the words.

CeBit is Blocking Pro Bloggers?

Given how fast the tech world changes, I’m surprised that a conference like CeBit would not grant press passes to electronic journalists. Specifically, it sounds like Steve Paine, who lives right there in Germany and has been one of the most consistent and fair news sources on UMPCs, won’t be invited to CeBit. [...]

BloggerCon IV - Tuning In is EASY!

This data is a little old, I guess, but according to a post on 4/10/06, the AJAX Experience conference (held by Ajaxian.com in SF, CA, US) is only half full - 250 attendees. Wow! If you are in the area on May 10th-12th, I suggest you check out this speaker list and agenda. [...]

More on the Maker Faire

Engadget has some great pics up. Also, I forgot to mention Onomy Tilty Table.

SF Tech Sessions - Tomorrow Night in SF

I met Niall at TechCrunch 5 on Friday night.  That man has a lot of great ideas.
1 of those ideas is SF Tech Sessions - a FREE mini-conference where 3 related businesses are highlighted and given an opportunity to speak to a crowd of 100 guests.  Looks like there still may be room for people [...]

Ajaxian Podcasts, the Ajax Experience Conference

Just listened to Episode 13 and Episode 14 of the Ajaxian Podcast. Excellent.
In Ep 14, as usual, the guys did a great job of presenting the information in a concise, always-on-topic manner. I think it’s pretty clear that they have a detailed outline set up beforehand and they stick to it without sounding [...]
