I downloaded the mobile version of blackboard for my iPhone this past weekend since the instance of blackboard that we have for testing has mobile enabled. This would be a good opportunity, I thought, to test the mobile elements of the blackboard learn 9 platform.When I opened the app and tried to connect to our instance I was greeted with the message in the image - must connect to wifi in order to

I guess iCloud is the next best thing in the Apple domain.  Man this service has changes so many names over the years; iTools in 2000, .Mac (dot Mac) in 2002, MobileMe in 2008 and in 2011 it's going to be iCloud. I just got the following email from Apple regarding the service: Dear MobileMe member,We'd like to share some exciting news with you about iCloud — Apple’s upcoming cloud service,

This past weekend was quite a movie weekend for me.  I honestly have not seen that many movies in a while!  Some were good, and some were just plain disappointing!  Let me start off with my MAJOR disappointment:  Resident Evil Afterlife.  I really had high hopes for this movie.

This past weekend it happened, I completed the third installment of Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood!  I have to say that I played through this game trying to prolong my game play by taking on as many side missions as possible.

You know... @cdetorres had sent me a youtube video of Google's Chromebook taking abuse, and I was going to post it here but I lost the link. Oh well.
