Do you take this credit card? | Oddly Enough | Reuters: "JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Guests at an Israeli wedding hall can now insert a credit card into a machine at its entrance, tap in a sum and leave a gift for the bride and groom.
'It's new in Israel and the world,' Aya Alon Kaufman of the Gan Oranim hall in Tel Aviv said on Israel's Channel 10 television. 'It's very convenient ... guests can give a gift even if they forget their chequebooks.'
She said couples pay 500 shekels ($155) to rent the device, which resembles an automated teller machine,"

Some 6000 zero-emissions Air Cars are scheduled to hit Indian streets in August of 2008."

CrunchGear � Archive � Toyota to sell solar panel-equipped Prius next year: "The Nikkei, Japan’s biggest business newspaper, reports today [JP] Toyota will use solar panels in its next-generation Prius hybrid cars to be sold starting 2009. The company’s Japanese website doesn’t offer any official information so the news is yet to be confirmed.
The redesigned Prius will come equipped with solar panels on the roof, partly powering the air-conditioning system, which needs up to 5kw. According to the Nikkei, Toyota will procure the PV panels from Kyocera.
Toyota is the world’s first major automaker to install solar batteries on vehicles. It is not yet clear whether the solar Prius will be sold outside Japan as well."

After my latest poll on who wants to learn the computer and who would like to help others I am amazed that their are only two of you. However, to put a positive spin on those dreary stats I will say this... Two is cool! It does take the pressure off me to make lesson plans to teach larger classes. Those of you have taught school know of all the behind the scenes work that goes into teaching a successful class.
With all that prep work gone I will begin classes on Tuesdays at 9:00 AM sometime in late September. The class size will be no more than one or two at a time.... and will be conducted in the computer lab. The student(s) will simply tell me what they want to learn that day and that will be the subject... You will be shown, within the limits of my capabilities, only what interests you at the time... You come in and say, "I want to learn how to..." and that is what we will teach you or your group.
Classes will be in one hour increments... There will be a weekly sign up sheet where you sign up for the hour you want. If you are going away ... don't sign up and that will leave your slot open. If you want only one class... just sign up once...
School starts in September ... watch the bulletin board if you are interested.
